@comradetaylorswift I'm definitely "Finally Bride Parsing"

remake of _You've Got Mail_ except the Joe Fox character is a computer programmer making a program to generate romantic comedy scripts in bulk and the Kathleen Kelly character writes romcoms in the traditional intention-typical way, and also they're both trans women who communicate anonymously mainly through an increasingly arcane system of masto alts, also it's probably set in bushwick instead of the upper west side

can I please get a tech reporter to look at this list and write a performatively resigned article about how ray kurzweil is putting honest hardworking romcom writers out of a job. "When HAL met Sally," look I already wrote the headline for you.

@ninjawedding twenty-one years and counting for me and I still learn something new about vim every day

vim: there's more than one way to do it, i.e. the way you're doing it now, and the slightly more convenient way to do it that you'll discover by accident sometime in the next twenty years

kinda upset that I didn't know you could do filename completion in vim with ^X^F

I've been opening the directory listing in a separate pane and yanking/pasting filenames like some rank grade schooler this whole time

but I can't stay mad at you vim 😘
