A billionaire who is 61 is very likely to outlive 75, even if they’re fat.

Not all heroes wear capes

Well obviously presidential felony convictions aren’t. But election fraud? Sure, republicans have been claiming that to some degree or other for a long time. See for example the false claims that Trump would have won the popular vote if it weren’t for undocumented immigrants voting en masse.

In any case, the specific claim I was making was that calls for civil war on social media are routine. Maybe they’re more serious this time! But maybe look for concrete plans rather than vague threats.

One thing to note is that Republicans have been talking like this for years. Minion Death Cult (tagline “The World Is Ending. Your Uncle’s Facebook Feed Is Responsible. We’re Documenting it.”) have coined “Minion’s Law”, which is that right-wing comments on a news story will have at least one person calling for civil war.

Does this mean we are at zero risk for a second civil war? Of course not. But finding people online calling for civil war isn’t sufficient cause to be worried; there needs to be at least some evidence of mobilization, as there was leading up to January 6th (for instance).

I don’t know if you’ve tried Kate, but it does most of this. It can act as an IDE, but it’s first and foremost a text editor, which is similar to Notepad++ (iirc, it’s been a while). The toughest requirement to meet would be

-User created language rules and formatting (An example use case is a personal path of exile’s loot filter) … without too much of a learning curve

https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/highlight.html is the documentation for how you’d do that, and https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/tree/master/data/syntax has all of the built-in syntax highlighters.

It also runs on Windows, so you can give it a spin and see what you think. It’s unfortunate that NP++ is tied so directly to Windows APIs, but I wonder how hard it would be to use winelib to make a decent Linux version.

From the Order of 20 March 2024:

4. The State of Israel shall take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address famine and starvation and the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in Gaza, by:

(a) immediately suspending its military operations in Gaza;

(b) lifting its blockade of Gaza;

(c) rescinding all other existing measures and practices that directly or indirectly have the effect of obstructing the access of Palestinians in Gaza to humanitarian assistance and basic services; and

(d) ensuring the provision of adequate and sufficient food, water, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, alongside medical assistance, including medical supplies and support.

Despite media claims, the ICJ already ruled to halt the Gaza genocide:

The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to the Palestinian people as a group protected by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, desist from the commission of any and all acts within the scope of Article II of the Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of the group;

(c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and

(d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.

It’s hard to imagine how they could continue the Gaza “fighting” and “desist from … killing members of the group”.

What features from Notepad++ are you wanting in an editor?

No, it’s obviously soy consumption

You’ve got it backwards. Of the two, Windows is closer to the open source ethos. Apple is a total control freak. Obviously both are bad, though.

Yeah, I sometimes forget that the law isn’t a code to be broken with this One Neat Trick. That goes double when you are going up against power.

The ToS forbids satirical reviews. I’d start a review by reading out this portion of the ToS and then make a list of things I hate, just saying I’m not allowed to talk about this aspect of the game, or this aspect of the game, etc, etc.

Aaron Swartz was never convicted for these crime, much less sentenced to 35 years. According to wikipedia, his maximum exposure was 50 years and $1 million in fines; he almost certainly would not have faced those in sentencing.

This is not to diminish the terrorist tactics of the prosecutors that lead to his death. ACAB

It is not factual that US politicians are reptilians who eat human babies for sustenance. It is, however, true.

I’ve been happy with btrfs. No issues with gaming. There’s even a pretty good Windows driver, which I’ve used successfully to transfer data between Linux & Windows. Though I haven’t installed Windows itself to btrfs, which is apparently possible!
