Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I'm ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.

I don't know if this will work for you, and I'm not sure if you're only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.

Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.

Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.

I second this. If you're only printing occasionally, ink tends to dry out, while toner will still be good.

When I was younger, Norwegians would often travel to Denmark and bring back bright red meat, which was not approved for sale in Norway. Now I finally realize they were just trying to make us leave.

Git is a distributed VCS just like fossil. GitHub never has been an integral part of it; it's just the most popular hosting option. This is like saying you're glad you're using Firefox because everyone complaining that Twitter is down is using Chrome.

Even if you do just GitHub for hosting you can, on account of it being distributed, still work and commit code.

What is more disruptive is that so much code is hosted on GitHub that even if you're not yourself hosting anything there, you risk almost all your dependencies being unavailable to your build pipelines. If you didn't have a cache set up, you're gonna have a bad time.

Too much of their process it's tied in with GitHub. That's what people are complaining about.

What are some good alternatives if it gets shut down? Preferably FOSS.

If we're talking about technology that is no longer widely used, it's probably my old HP48SX from the early 90s. Still use it sometimes as a desk calculator, though I have an HP48GX emulator app on my phone as well. Gotta have my RPN.

That's probably what it is. I didn't go to school in the US but my kids went to school in Ohio and my impression was that metric was not the primary system of units used in education, though it was taught.

The argument I hear most often from people defending the US customary units is that the units are more intuitive. For example, an inch is about the size of a thumb, or 0 degrees is fucking cold and 100 is fucking hot.

On the whole, people seem receptive to metric, but don't want the hassle or cost to convert. They seem content to use metric where it's important (science, military) and keep the old ways elsewhere.

I currently with in healthcare research and almost everything not patient facing is done in metric, but there are still conversions going on everywhere, leading to data problems that are hard to correct later. People used to thinking in ounces putting those where grams were supposed to go, and so on.

Did you go to school in the 70s or 80s? I don't think it's like that anymore.

Reminder to vote for any library funding levy in your area. They depend on it to stay open.

Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It's the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.

What do you mean? RedHat even used to come with an installer localized in their language.
