The older I get the more I look like Skeletor so I’m thinking of embracing the looks and always wear a hoodie

I remind you all that fucking Kissinger got that fucking prize

Huh, that’s how you should use them if you don’t wanna struggle. A Neovim buffer is a GUI tab. The problem is the other way around, when you try to use Neovim’s tabs as GUI tabs. That doesn’t work unless you write a bunch of scripts and accept some corner cases

Equal parts educational and just plain silly, the Chilean puppet show makes its first trip ever to the United States to turn the Tiny Desk into a playground.

She wasn't really "deported," was she?

She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece.

That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta:

"I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.”

I’ve seen a bunch of posts welcoming new people from here on Mastodon. I don’t think people is migrating, but just in case: although the default UX is better here, Mastodon has better vibes, so I’ve been posting more there lately.

And most of my UX-related issues were solved by

Our main ally is looking to do regime change in Latin America like it’s 1973.

Asked about the possibility of regime change in Venezuela, Trump's counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka replies: "We do believe, as a prior president said, in something called the Monroe Doctrine."

Wait! Are you asking people to think about the thing at hand instead of blindly following folklore?

I don’t know why DiCaprio speaking gringo Spanish made me laugh so much.

“I mean, this is why I think I brought up from the beginning, this kind of point about the things that I did find exciting in programming and the things that made me want to do it, are all the things that are being removed in this system”

Half way through, and I wanted to add a bunch of comments but I was working out. The one that persists though is how can you listen to this and then threat computers as just another appliance?

I’m getting into levels of I only read literary works levels of snobbery regarding programming

“I think programming languages are also arguments for when they're done well, for how this is a new way of doing it”

I’ve been thinking though, somehow we should be able to make Mastodon bearable for non-nerdy folks…
