    Helix also, but aren't Zed and Helix both modal?

    edit: Huh. I just tried out Zed and looks like modal editing is optional.

    Looks like jEdit just had a new release! I actually used it as my main editor 15 years ago before I sat down to learn Emacs. I thought it was pretty good back then.

    Lapce is a newer one that looks interesting, though I haven't tried it. The page says modal editing can be toggled.

    That's hardly a reason to get rid of it or replace it. Clearly people are benefitting from it and it's evident if you look at your tax return. If anything, the fact that people don't know about the return is a failure in marketing. So sure, there are maybe some improvements to make.

    But really, no matter what carbon scheme you put in place, the cons will find a way to complain about it. That's not a failure of the carbon tax. That's just how the conservatives operate.

    The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you'll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

    Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there's a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

    There is a lot of old stuff, especially on the wiki. It's one of the reasons I abandoned over a decade of config and started using Doom Emacs. I appreciate the curated set of packages with a more consistent interface than I had time to maintain.

    As for sln based projects, I've never had success with them in Emacs. Heck, even VS Code has been hit and miss for me. Maybe someone knows a good sln package? The one you mentioned might be worth a try.

    If that's the case then perhaps they should have implemented Monero (or something similar), which was designed for, and as far as I know, still provides both anonymity and privacy. Neither of those are properties of BTC.

    Or they could have not done this since there are many other wallets that can be used without a paid account that can easily be blocked by such a regime.

    Seriously, if you live under the scrutiny of an authoritarian regime, please do not use Bitcoin for anything that might get you into trouble. It is neither anonymous nor private.

    I was being a bit facetious in the wake of Rogers being allowed to buy Shaw.

    Of course they should be breaking up the large companies when there's not much competition, but I doubt they'll do much of anything.

    When I first read the headline, I thought it was maybe a good thing. Hurray for less military spending! I guess there's maybe one policy I might agree with.

    Then I read the article and found the little "woke" nugget you mentioned. Seriously, conservatives are just completely fucked... I know people in the military and it's anything but woke! I'd like to see ANY of these fucking woke-saying assholes do a single day of basic training or handle even a few hours on an exercise!

    Of course we all know that "warrior culture" in this context means kicking out anyone who's not a "straight" white male. Because nothing says warrior like being toxicly insecure about ones sexuality.

    I just wish it meant bringing in Klingon codes of honour.

    In this context the use of "they" is just proper English though. I can't fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of "they" in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any "confusion" is easily remedied by explaining that's just how the language works. I find that's also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

    Does anyone know if the grievance is legitimate? I just got the game and I'm not familiar with the history here, but I am using the original mod in question. I did verify the files as well and they are indeed the same. I'm not even sure how to see if Donation Points are enabled on a particular mod or author's account. I don't mind mod authors getting some kickback if that's an option, but taking someone else's work is rather poor. Edit: Looks like this mod was now taken down. Edit: There's a [forum post](https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/13106577-full-release-mod-fixer/page-41#entry126874296) from the author of the mod in question that mentions talking to the Nexus staff. Hopefully this was all just a bit of unnecessary drama.
