Vim has always been charityware. Any money that was donated to the project went to ICCF Holand, an organization that helps marginalized children in Uganda.
Sadly, 2 years after Bram's passing, this charity will be dissolved. Future donations will be sent to a different charity called Kuwasha: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/pUNbNXBLbKw
Bram's work over the years has done much good for disadvantaged communities. Whether you use Vim or Neovim, consider following their original creator's example in whatever way you can.

Trying new modal editors to see if anything out there has come close to dethroning the king (vim of course). Helix and Zed were highly recommended options and of the two Helix seems like it could be a contender but Zed? There is no way to close the settings window in Linux and the backspace key doesn't work. Bugs like this are oddly satisfying to find but leads me to believe that these editors aren't being used in real world context or programming environments where building requires the editor getting out of your way. The marketing seems exciting but when put to actual practice you're trapped in the editor. I'm not sure if it's because of the collaboration features or just the fact that writing an editor for most environments is extremely difficult. Could be i'm just so used to vim but :wq has never failed in my history of using it.
The approach seems to be leaving behind legacy and using gpu's for speed which is admirable but I think that's also part of the problem. The reason vim is ubiquitous is because we can type 'vi' on almost any command line, on any platform in any decade and it'll load up. Zed is more of an IDE than an editor and this is where programming style and ideology comes into play. It's an interesting conundrum. What editor you use has in a way always determined what programs you write... Guess it makes sense in that context. #zed #rust #helix #vim #ide

So, exporting 73Kb ODS document (several sheets with one small table on each one of them) into XML in #LibreCalc results in 439Mb file.
#Vim basically dies on this file. #Emacs opens it instantly. I can even navigate it freely and syntax highlighting works. Although it doesn't help much.
Here's a catch:
me@desktop:~/temp$ wc -l file.xml
1 file.xml
It's a 439 Mb long line.
I have no idea what's wrong with LibreCalc.

Okay, I said no static site generator, but I will be using Pandoc to convert markdown into HTML. Which I guess is *kind* of the same thing? Sorta.
When I was a kid making little static websites, I used to write everything straight into HTML in Notepad. It made me feel like a hacker. But I don't think even my faux-luddite-ass could go back to that.
Also, I use #Vim btw.

Dumb #Vim trick: I knew that I wanted to jump about ¾ of the way into my file, but didn't want to page down a whole lot from the top of the document, nor did I want to jump to the bottom and page up a bunch.
Vim lets you type a number and the "%" to jump to a particular percentage line of the file. So to jump to my target, I typed
75%
and bang, landed within a couple lines of my desired destination. To learn more:
:help N%
