I don't want to set your expectations too high, because it's far from perfect, but I thought Picard S3 was basically the good TNG movie that we never received. It was great to see so many of the TNG crew back on screen, and probably for the last time together since they're all in their 70s. The story was mostly good and there were some real high points.

The argument that it is faster is the biggest lie ever

Vscode is written in JavaScript and running in a web browser. Vim is written in C and runs at a console. Of course Vim is faster. Vscode is a hobbled cripple by comparison.

The rest of your comment suggests you are ignorant of vim with plugins and command line tools. I've tried vscode and while it looks nice, I am far faster when developing with vim and a couple of open terminals.

It really is perfect, and how on earth was that domain not taken?

Me too. I've used vim to make my living for at least the last 20 years.

Yes, he was quite popular at one time. It was clearly a well-groomed bit of PR that he was this eccentric billionaire who was using his wealth to forward science and technology for all mankind.

Then it turned out that he's a narcissistic man-child. The mask slipped for me personally when he called that diver rescuing the Thai kids a pedo. His outrageous manipulation of crypto markets came next (exploiting the lack of regulation). Since then, his purchase of Twitter and treatment of Twitter employees has been a staggering shitshow from start to finish. It has absolutely shattered any illusion that he is a good businessman and he's certainly not a good person.

Picard season 3 was pretty great too. I skipped season 2 as I hated season 1. Apparently season 3 just ignores the events of 2 completely because it was that bad.

I get the feeling that he was forced to include Family Guy style jokes in the first series and was allowed to ease up after it was clear that they weren't working.

spoilerWith the exception of that early episode explaining humour to the android character and the engineer wakes up with his leg cut off. That was pretty funny.

Me too, I have no idea where the complaints about Jerboa are coming from. I mean, it shows posts and comments, how radically different are these alternate apps? They all look the same to me!

It's the Methodists that were big in Wales, not the Catholics.

I don’t believe Trump’s behavior on Jan 6th meets the level of an attempted coup on the government

Then you are a fool.

isn't this happening right now with Judge Cannon? She was a Trump appointee, has already made an outrageous decision relating to Trump, and now she's presiding over his classified documents case, Trumpers are sending her death threats because they think she has the power to toss the case out at this point. It's like they don't even know when they are winning!

Her arrest comes on the back of the detentions of party treasurer Colin Beattie and former party chief executive Peter Murrell - also Ms Sturgeon's husband - who were both subsequently released without charge.

Must have gotten a bit hot for him underground.
