Thank you! I believe Vim is a deeply individual and almost emotional experience, and a bit of rambling is always worthwhile to get the perspective of a Vim setup.

Either the incessant ads for AI integrations that you'll eventually be willing to pay to get rid of, or the ecological devastation of it all. Take your bet on which'll happen first

This and my eating disorder are best friends 🙃 thankfully, body dismorphia bullies both of them harder than they bully me, so I end up hot.

For much, not for all.

System and user files are pretty close to one another in NixOS, so I use it for both. Sudoedit is set to vim, but I have a kitty and neovim (technically it's nnot nvim, it's nvf so I can config it in Nix instead of Lua) environment that tiles quite nicely and uses nonconflicting keymaps.

I use mod+hjkl for navigating my window manager, too, which has led to an interesting situation. Hyprland just migrated to Lua from Hyprscript, and Neovim uses a lot of Lua for inbuilt commands and stuff, so you'd think I'd be thrilled to write them both in the same language. Instead I just sigh at the greener grass because I already configured them both in Nix.

I do use Obsidian (with Vim binds, and monospace source mode as default for everything except tables) for my markdown viewer / primary notekeeping cloud sync, and Kate for previewing media that needs to be formatted right as a .doc or .pdf.

Some Obsidian notes are handled with Vim, actually. I have a script that sets up a new Zettelkasten note with automatic tags and opens it in Neovim, because I find it faster than Obsidian when I have a single thought and need to write it before it's forgotten. Thanks ADHD. I write Zettelkasten like little scripts of code - unique, atomic, referencing and importing each other, with a unique version history, and Vim's great at that.

Salt Fat Acid Heat. No, it isn't explicitly vegan, but it was instrumental in me being a good enough cook to improv vegan stuff and have it taste awesome.

I understand that wish of yours.

Fuck AI, fuck the slop it vomits out, and thank goodness we aren't hooking up autoslop machines to StackOverflow.

What am I if I want everyone whose lands are being rolled into by oligarch tanks to fight and win their a central homes back?

Lenin said that if he were in Britain, he'd vote Labour. Not because he agrees with them, but to show the British people that yes, moving leftwards does make improvements and no, Labour is not doing enough. To show them that a further-left Socialist party is needed.

Accelerationism is a ... choice. It's easier, in my view, to push further left under ineffective neoliberalism than it is under right-wing authoritarianism. What you may view as a chance to get your ideal from the ashes, the fascists view as their chance to put you down for good.

I'm fortunate to live in a state with ranked-choice, where I can literally make a gradient of my preferences for nearly every contested election I vote in.

What I see most frequently is uncontested elections. Vote for the one registered candidate, or write someone in. Most of those have an R next to their name, and dollars to doughnuts a red armband in their closet.

"Liberate" is an interesting choice of term, given the communities in question aren't in Russia's sovereignty.

To be clear, I don't personally have proof of whether the citizenry is broadly thrilled about or terrified of the soldiers in their streets.

I just believe it's journalistic best practice for any case where an army taking part in a war of territorial expansion claims territory to use a neutral term like "control" rather than a biased one like "liberate" or "oppress".

I think those are just running shorts. I see my local university running team - men and women - wearing them for summer runs.

Probably womens running shorts, given its femboys in the meme.

I agree that Google sucks turds. I also believe Apple's iPhone ecosystem is harmful and exploitative. It would be really cool if all the good tech wasn't inherently harmful, and I guess I'm just being sad at capitalism again.

I hope you have a pleasant day.
