Bram Moolenaar, author and lead maintainer of vim, was or would have been 62 this year.

Thank you, Bram. ❤️😥

Thousands of lines of :wq checked into git repos all over the world will remember you, and I mean that in the dearest way possible.

@Pietro 🇧🇷 Reminds me to continue on Arcane, thank you for that!

Kid liked it initially but then lost interest and then I didn't keep going on my own.

@Jason_Dodd The mind boggles.

@Alex Schroeder Commenting is always possible, but blocking them will at least reduce the risk that the comments spread to others.

Blocking is always a game of whack-a-mole. Blocking a whole site lets you get ahead, but then you risk losing interesting stuff instead, which is why I wish fediverse.blog had working moderation.

Obnoxious so-called fans of a media franchise:

I don't like how much this prequel series ties into the series it prequels. It's so attention-seeking. Cheap. Cringe. I also don't like when they go off track and don't tie into it. Who do you think you are?

I will get a miniDP->USB-C cable, to see if it behaves the same with my screen.

Oh wait, actually that screen takes mini-HDMI too, so that's another thing to try.

The reason I'm considering this is that I saw some conversation before on the web that indicated that the state and settings of the screen could affect how the HDMI link acted on the computer.

Here's what *didn't* make any difference so far:
- cold reboot while making sure cable is attached
- put `options snd-hda-intel model=generic` in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

My problem is not:
- missing audio device

`aplay -l` has a `card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI]` in there

- muted audio

it's not just silent, e.g. mpv also fails to sync A/V, speeds through the video and reports underrun

- kernel driver failure to register audio

`journalctl --system` has a line `ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops`
it does *not* have a line about "couldn't bind", "No i915 binding" or "Cannot probe"

- nvidia

the Integrated Graphics Controller is the only VGA compatible controller here

@Portable Hermit Just like the whale-fish that swallowed Jonah. =)

It seems people way back either played more fast and loose with their words, or their meanings have narrowed overtime, like with "apple", which seems to have meant just fruit if you go back a few hundred years, giving us words like pineapple, sinappel/apfelsin for oranges, and the widespread impression that the fruit tree in Eden was an apple tree.

L O V E D I T ! !

I thought a musical episode might help put me to sleep but it was far too good and exciting.

Jess Bush's wonderful number was already very good, but then there was Ethan Peck's heart-tickling barytone dip and there was nowhere to go from there[0] but intently watching and finishing the whole thing.

It's an old recipe by now, but it was cooked to perfection.

I'm talking about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S2E09: "Subspace Rhapsody"

[0] yes, that's a Buffy musical episode reference
