It’s still more feature rich than Nano, with things like macros and multi-file search/replace from the command line though since I started using it, Nano has taken up some of the slack.

From an interface perspective, what’s the advantage of leaving the vote tally clickable in when voting buttons are enabled?

I don’t? ¯\(ツ)/¯

I was unfamiliar with wordtsar, that’s amazing.

While I can use Emacs and Vim (adequately enough) I really feel in love with Joe back when I was first learning Unix.

(I did have a phase where I used WordStar and VisiCalc long after they were surpassed by others.)

No one even uses Vim anymore, you should just switch to Wordpad. It’s far superior cause you can type in bold and italics.

I’m reading Super Powereds: Year One by Drew Hayes. I generally really enjoy his stuff, and I’m just starting out with this one so I don’t have much yet. It started as a web novel. My general feeling so far is that unfortunately, that really kind of comes through in the text. Probably should’ve had a good edit before being published as a book. It’s not a bad read by any sense. It’s just easy to see the seams.

Such a fun read. The rest of the books In the series are great but the first one is just so much fun. It’s one of the books I wish I could read again for the first time.

As somebody who has read a few of them, I also enjoy it. It’s a good take on urban fantasy and the main protagonist is a lot of fun.

True love is the greatest thing in the world—except for a nice MLT—mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe

I wasn’t suggesting it, that phrase is an older conservative trope from legal blog from 20 years ago that is clearly motivating the current Supreme Court. (The current strict scrutiny podcast references it too in a clearly sarcastic tone as well)

Stare Decisis is for suckers.

The beginning is just a bit prescient there…

I technically still run ebookdeals on literature.cafe so I could do exactly this; but it was too manual of a process and I need to figure out how to automate it a bit better with python. I like pointing out when great books are on sale.

This is a great reference for the c/Books Bingo square if you’re playing along.

Real “tear down Chesterton’s Fence” energy in the GOP these days.

Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.

It was a struggle for me. I really generally like his stuff quite a lot. The cast of characters is quite big and you get chapters from each of their perspectives. So it reads like a series of short stories.

I have issues with short story anthologies because I didn’t build up any momentum. I enjoy them, it’s just more of a slog for me to get through.
