I_complete_me
I recommend looking also at the THOG problem. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THOG_problem.
I got into vim because it made total sense to me as a way to transfer thoughts to words, I loved it , I lived it and I love it and live it. Then I heard about emacs org-mode – after trying for ages to find the "software to organise my life" (pick your poison).
I found it to be totally workable, initially, via doom-emacs.
Then they said "You won't believe Magit".
I didn't leave my wife, instead I invited everyone into my world.
True, I had been fooling around looking for a wife. I hit on vim. She was perfect. In her world there were people who knew all about perfection – no surprise – until I met her beautiful sister. I fell in love with her. Then I met a relation of hers (her name was Magic, also beautiful) and I invited them all back to what became their place where I am now welcome too.

This is not my area of expertise but I think Klass makes some very interesting points that affect all of us eventually. He calls out the BS in his field and is even prepared for the backlash. How is progress supposed to happen if sincerely held opinions have to be defended that way? One very minor criticism I have of the article is that when he says "Don’t get me wrong: there’s a lot of astonishingly good social science research" he doesn't provide any examples. I would have liked if he'd had.
I've been looking for a Linux clipboard manager to use over SSH but they all error out with for example (on running SSH in Windows Warp to access a LAN Linux box):
echo "doodah" | xclip -selection c
Error: Can't open display: (null)
Here I am trying to copy to the X-11 clipboard in order to paste elsewhere inside the Linux box -- hope that's not too confusing!Will your (eventual) clipboard manager work over SSH for this use case?
yack n 1: noisy talk [syn: {yak}, {yack}, {yakety-yak}, {chatter}, {cackle}]
v 1: talk incessantly and tiresomely [syn: {yack}, {jaw}, {yack
away}, {rattle on}, {yap away}]What also works (though more cumbersome) are:
For m-dash: Ctrl+q u2014 and for n-dash: Ctrl+q u2013
My vim set up requires Ctrl+q but probably it's normally Ctrl+v, may need to check.

Languages are a hodge-podge.
I added today's date (in the format 2025-02-25) into the input box and expected it to at least give me the option to convert to epoch time or something. But it returned:
Local: Invalid Date UTC: Invalid Date
It's not as intuitive as I thought it would be. Best of luck.
The spellings come from the anglicisation of
1. Sandy Lake and
2. Red Trout Lake
so the namers kept things simple in their native tongue but now the names are almost indecipherable.
That seems common enough.
Regarding the journey across Elephant Island, that too was incredible. I note that there are tour companies providing opportunities to do this, though I haven't managed to do it yet.
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell Not as amazing as I thought it would be but memorable nonetheless.
Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent Something nice about this book. Not for everyone. What is?
