Broon has to stop getting air time. Britain literally voted for this time and time again. Scotland had a chance to change course ten years ago, and he was instrumental in stopping this. This is happening in his backyard because of him, and until he owns his failings he can shut right up

So much sauce! Is this normal? When I try Chicago style at home, having never visited, it's like quarter that

Opinion pieces obviously not fabulous to gist it seems, would not recommend this tldr

you don't have faith in existing monopoly laws? Colour me shocked!

When do we look to restrict a company's areas of control too? Horizontal integration has to be a dystopian nightmare come true

Seems fine with anarchy to me

So Konsole rocks. Yakuake a great addition. But I'm a big KDE fanboy

Alacritty is also pretty fun, combined with openbox / LXDE

But for the $dayjob it's Windows Terminal which is easily the best thing Microsoft has released in decades when combined with WSL

False, god can't die

Until a robot can hang up my washing, my machine is staying off any networks

Missed a wojtek moment here

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/en & https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ification#English both combine to make a word that means to add to something making it shitter

Shittification would be to make a shit, you could argue that 'en' means that you make something else shitter I think

English is weird https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

enshitification continues

Rare coming back to Nintendo sounds fun

Not even 5% of what they should have announced

It's more advice than a complaint. I run on one setup. Linux terminals. And neovim has to beat that for me to switch

For me vim is one of those things that just works. It's ever present, reliable, and dependable. The simplicity of it mirrors the unix way and my usage of it is so closely wrapped in screen, /tmux, bash, gnu-coreutils, and a few terminals over the years that any change is going to have me asking 'why?' essentially. So a command line flag allows familiarity of existing tooling to really sing, and I suspect offers far more compatibility than the suggested fix too given the length of the windows addendum to the guide

And totally agreed about out in, I use Arch btw. And I'm not in a hurry to switch to nvim either, I tried and switched back pretty quickly. Pathogen is still an amazing plugin system, leveraging my git and bash knowledge to boot

Excellent, TIL. It should be bash scripts though. Setting strange write modes and obfusticating paths, combined with a set and a let (now having to go learn the difference) isn't something I would recommend to anyone.

Add alias vim=nvim --vimrc-compatibility to your ~/.bashrc would be my prefered migration path

It broke vim compatibility with this one change. That is super easy to support for painless migration. A real no brainer imo. The docs don't explain your easy fix either. The key to making change faster: make it easier for people

It fucks about with locations too much for my liking

Nope. Still on regular myself. Pry my .vimrc and .vim/plugins folder from my cold dead fingers

He ain't wrong. Replacing X11 wasn't a great idea and not invented here was all over Wayland, especially with the Mir proposals. SystemD also gets this accusation but people seem to like working in it/with it, and so doesn't get the level of criticism now.

It will be really interesting to see if Wayland maintains momentum over the next few years, or if it's own tech debt will cripple it. Ideally we want to see if we can bridge the Android divide in the GUI space imo, which Wayland may have more potential to do
