@jabronus Dear Noah,
Your blood has been stolen in a security breach. Please read this entire notice carefully as it provides important information.
WHERE DID MY BLOOD GO?
We are in the early stages of investigation, but preliminarily it was stolen from an unlocked van, possibly in a wooded area as shown in the photo we received in the ransom note asking for more blood.
IS THE BLOOD IN MY BODY AT RISK?
Not immediately, but we have reason to believe the suspect is also a serial killer. They were last seen in a wooded area possibly collecting blood from an unknown source [be vague when sending out notice; do not mention the bodies]. Therefore, your remaining blood may still be at risk.
HOW CAN I KEEP MY BLOOD SAFE IN THE FUTURE?
Don't share needles, don't leave blood samples unattended, lock your doors, and run background checks on people who collect your blood.

#Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A man (80s?), the spitting image of Tom Waits in a disheveled tweed coat and a homburg is enjoying an espresso at an outdoor cafe table. Looking up and breaking into a tender smile on seeing a woman (80s?) approaching. Standing, he pulls out her chair.
A tiny human (2?) in an orange woolly jumper, with an adorably shy smile, is running up to every single person he meets before whispering, "Happy birfday!" Grinning and running off to the next person! Look at him go!
A dad (20s?) waiting for his lunch at a Filipino food truck is hugging a tiny new human (days?) to his chest, singing a soft song, smooching a small fuzzy black head of hair. The world is happening around him, but he's in the zone.
A small human (3?) in a bucket hat covered in crocodiles, wearing a tie dye T-shirt is singing a happy song while doing a boogie woogie in front of a cheese stall. Cheese is happening and it deserves some dancing!
A small human is MOST upset. Tears flowing, lower lip wobbling.
Dad says: "What's the problem Bud? What's wrong?"
Small Upset Human says with watery woe: "You weren't watching me when I did my trick!"
Dad giving him a hug and asking for a repeat performance.

Trump said Dolly really liked him, but she just didn't want anyone to know because she would lose fans.
Which is the MOST un-Dolly-like thing to say about Dolly Parton.
What a small, sad man he is.

I stare up at Gordon Ramsey as he tastes my creation.
His reaction is inscrutable. “What did you make this with?” he asks.
“Spite?” I say hopefully.
He pauses a beat, then nods. “Yeah, you can really taste it.”

For 3 years, criminal #Israel continues to starve - collectively punish - the people of #Gaza. 'Nearly half (46%) of surveyed households reported going to bed hungry at least once during the 30 days preceding the survey, with 7% experiencing this more than ten times.' From the World Food Program:

Do NOT come down hard on federal government agencies that change Lake Ontario to Lake America. Trump can order them to do so.
DO come down hard on any company, state government, or other group that makes that change. Trump's order has NO legal power over them.

CBS: At the FBI, a history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired
"...The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality...."

for the record I hate ice, I hate carceralism, I hate everything these anti-immigration departments stand for, I hate the concept of deportation in general and I think these governments should burn
I also know that fucker would have happily put on the hugo boss suit and herded us all into camps with a cheery grin
personally, I would've preferred gettin the chance to fight the fucker one-on-one, far more ethical, but I guess the leopards he supported got there first
so it goes.
I have used vim since around 2000. I have written five books, a PhD thesis, a few dozen papers and over 150 articles with it. At this point, my higher brain functions are not engaged at all when I use a bunch of common vim commands, they just happen. Documents I wrote with anything else have random :w in the middle.
So I tried NeoVim when it was quite new. Vim that you are familiar with, but better? Great!
Persistent undo is one of my favourite features of vim (introduced a few years after I started using it). My .vimrc includes a couple of lines related to this. One sets the path to be under ~/.cache so the undo files do not clutter the rest of the filesystem (I do the same for the swap files). The other sets the undo limit to something large (10,000, I think) because disk space is enormous relative to pretty much anything involving human-readable quantities of plain text.
I don’t often need the persistent undo. But on the few occasions when I have needed it, it’s been invaluable: ooops, I deleted something from this file, maybe last week and one reboot ago, what was it? Undo until I find it, copy it, paste it into the current version. Or, a bit more commonly: I had this working, then I tidied it up ready to commit, now it isn’t working, what did I do?
Vim has kept this working across major version upgrades over a period of about 20 years. I don’t even think about it, it’s just part of Raskin’s First Law: A program may not harm a user’s data or, through inaction, allow a user’s data to come to harm. If vim or the computer crash, or if I close a file and come back to it six months later, my undo history is still there.
The first thing I noticed in NeoVim was that undo didn’t work. I tried opening the file in vim and undo didn’t work there either.
Neovim had changed the format of the undo files. It hadn’t upgraded the old one. It hadn’t used a different name for its undo files. It had just noticed the existence of a vim undo file, deleted it (losing all of the data in it) and replaced it with one that vim couldn’t read.
I raised an issue about this and was told that the persistent undo format was unstable and users should not rely on data being preserved in a feature explicitly called persistent undo. It had changed once and would probably change again.
And that ended my experience with NeoVim. The authors showed immediately that they absolutely could not be trusted with any of my data. Breaking persistent undo is something I could forgive as a bug, but the attitude that just because something is a persistent file on your filesystem that contains data that you might want is no reason for their program not to delete it meant they had no concept of a duty of care to their users.
Apparently now they’re platforming white supremacists. I am completely unsurprised. Different facets of the same underlying attitude.
@david_chisnall I have for years off and on considered trying neovim and then just always shrug. I try not to specialize my tooling too much really. But are you saying when you installed it and ran it it deleted your EXISTING vim undo files?! I am glad I never tried it! My god.
