As time goes on the odds increase that you’ll get cravings for something very specific that’s unavailable in your area or was discontinued years ago.
I could go for a Jolt Cola.

I greatly enjoyed the defensiveness in the comments. I know, I know. Don’t read the comments. Whatever.

@dys_morphia Camus sort of saved my existential bacon with the whole absurd man thing, which I opted to interpret as “life may be meaningless and ultimately futile, but you don’t have to be a dick about it.”

@tithonium Do you have the community plugin “Plugin Update Tracker” installed?
Oh right right for the tweaking. Yep, I bump into that too sometimes.

@tithonium I was enjoying Readwise for a while, but noticed I didn’t use much of the stuff I was highlighting. For the moment it’s the Markdownload browser extension, but since I’ve recently started a stim of “load random page and see if it needs processing” I might add Readwise (or Omnivore? don’t know it yet but yeah that looks maybe better) back to the mix.

reassuring folks that I can use our linting tools in Vim or from the command line and disliking VS Code a little more than I did yesterday, since they seem doubtful / confused that ruff is usable outside the VS Code extension?

Dunno what the big deal about numpad is. It’s just a convenience layer. Jeez. Don’t tap “num” if you don’t like it.
(But also anything involving numbers is way easier with a numpad. The QWERTY top row defaulting to numeric is the intrusive vestigial functionality)

@onelson @rabcyr Honestly? Way too many left-leaning buzzwords and a bit of moral absolutism at the tail end has me thinking it’s a troll account and he wasn’t born in 1988.

Went to sleep a little earlier so I’d have some decent rest when the dogs woke me up at 5am.
So the dogs woke me up at 4.

Seeing some strong arguments in favor of tabs over spaces as an accessibility issue via @zachleat & @BryceWrayTX & others and heck. It’s a good point.

First impression of #StrandedAlienDawn is a little bit of Rimworld, in that if you know how to play Rimworld (or Oxygen Not Included or or) you basically know how to play this. Also, a little bit of the Sims because of the 3D, except you’re making the pretty decorations yourself.
It’s
SIMSWORLD

@ceejbot Just grabbed it today, but apparently the latest release includes multistory buildings. Kind of a biggie for the genre, and an even bigger Sims-like similarity.

@mjgardner @seatek I mean that’s lovely but a) I don’t need 2.3 EiB I just need 294KB; b) I’ve noticed Emacs can load a big buffer but it too gets fussy around the 2 GB mark.

@mjgardner @seatek anyways Sublime Text handled the file just fine last night :flan_smile:

@mjgardner I’m similar to @seatek in that I don’t any editor loyalty. I’ll drift from one to another depending on what’s available or interesting.

My paternal grandmother died today at 101 years old. I didn’t know her well, but by my limited contact and what everyone else says she was a solid person.

So yeah the wrong one again.
