  • I would not wanna turn left on what may be a blind intersection. If that parallel road you’re turning left on is 4 lanes of traffic I’m taking easier right of way.

    Edit: also if your destination is immediately across from a 3 way its safest to turn left into it as opposed to crossing two right of ways








  • Timing’s a bit shit to add a DoB field don’t you think. I also don’t think you can compare computing in a professional setting in the 1960s to modern day surveillance states. I can also say as a parent there’s only one thing protecting your kid from the internet and its not whatever poorly standardized notion of Linux parental controls that exist today. Only actual parenting can.

    As for the developer’s publicly observable commits and the following publicly available criticism of it, you can call it painting a target but I think even that’s a bit of a stretch. What’s most outrageous about the institution that is the United States of America in 2026 is how all of it was even allowed to get so far. So yeah, expect some activism.








  • Mostly because AI isn’t capable of doing a perfectly good job without humans at this point. Vim may have started using AI as part of the development toolchain so that tired people working in their free time for free can propel their own work. To me this was always going to happen whether it gets committed discreetly or not. I don’t think people will tolerate it if these commits hurt the long term, reputable stability of Vim.

    We can stop pretending that AI isn’t used discreetly in many and perhaps eventually all the projects that we love. Intolerance and toxic harping on open source is still the bigger problem
