And so the US lost decade becomes the medieval dark ages

It’d be fascinating as an outsider if the choices made by the US didn’t basically impact everything, everywhere.

Well yes that’s obvious

It’s supposed to be publicly funded, not traded

Someone a long time ago must have misheard

“Tim onion” got an irl lol out of me

Isn’t state controlled re-education another one of these big bad things that only evil commies do according to these knuckle-draggers?

Imagine the cinemas we’d have if this lot were running the show after a life of everything they do being projection

Once again, Orban says exactly what Putin wants him to say

At some point it becomes malicious to even print what he says

If a country is actively invading another we usually don’t permit them in international sporting events.

The fans should never have been there, they should never have been welcome until the war is over.

That thumbnail lol

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

A good start is treating drug abuse as a health problem and not a criminal one

Does anyone actually use voicemail anymore

I gotta wonder why QR payment has gotten so popular in East Asia and basically nowhere else

What’s the difference driving this

5 minutes is superhuman btw, I need a good half hour before anyone can expect anything remotely reasonable from me

No. 5 was a fun mental image

I think I was in Ibiza when I last felt how that guy looks

Cheers for the response, I appreciate it!

I’m curious about the plugins as obviously I’m not gonna be familiar with the notepad++ plugin ecosystem now—what’s special about the ones you listed?

Assuming edit EOL is just changing the line termination characters, all editors have that don’t they? Or does this not do what I think?

Intrigued about VSCode being slow for text manipulation too—I remember this being a big reason I dropped notepad++ for sublime and IMO VSCode and sublime more or less have parity on that front, particularly with vim bindings

I just don’t get the love for notepad++

I started using it as my main back in 2006ish, I then switched to sublime text about 2011, then about 5-6 years ago to VSCode. All the time using vim for any in-terminal quick edits.

Notepad++ is easily my least favourite editor of the lot, by several miles, it just seems so rigid and clunky without even going into how it’s windows only. Every editor I’ve used since has been a huge improvement over the one prior IMO
