If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

I spent way too long trying to figure out what “tgis” stood for

Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It’s the whole ecosystem that’s doing the radicalization, not just Trump.

When the Trump fever finally breaks

Oh you sweet, beautiful child. Never change.

expect the backlash to be swift and bloody

I do. I just think you and I have different ideas of who the target will be.

I don’t know if you’ve tried Kate, but it does most of this. It can act as an IDE, but it’s first and foremost a text editor, which is similar to Notepad++ (iirc, it’s been a while). The toughest requirement to meet would be

-User created language rules and formatting (An example use case is a personal path of exile’s loot filter) … without too much of a learning curve

https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/highlight.html is the documentation for how you’d do that, and https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/tree/master/data/syntax has all of the built-in syntax highlighters.

It also runs on Windows, so you can give it a spin and see what you think. It’s unfortunate that NP++ is tied so directly to Windows APIs, but I wonder how hard it would be to use winelib to make a decent Linux version.

The gadsden flag but the snake is being tread on and says “one day I’ll own this boot”

What features from Notepad++ are you wanting in an editor?

No, it’s obviously soy consumption

This has placed the prime minister in a political vise. If he commits to postwar Palestinian rule in Gaza and begins acting seriously to establish it, he loses the far right. But if he commits to resettling Gaza, he loses the Israeli majority and the international community. And so, as he has often done in the past, Netanyahu has chosen not to choose

Oh, he’s chosen.

Yeah, I sometimes forget that the law isn’t a code to be broken with this One Neat Trick. That goes double when you are going up against power.

The ToS forbids satirical reviews. I’d start a review by reading out this portion of the ToS and then make a list of things I hate, just saying I’m not allowed to talk about this aspect of the game, or this aspect of the game, etc, etc.

Also MFW my desire to love and be understood is thwarted by my fear of loss and the existential horror of being known

$375 million in today’s dollars would cover (adjusted for inflation) the marketing and development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop

boomer-ass joke

Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.

My guess is that it’s related to the Weber-Fechner laws of perception. This is the same principle that explains why turning a second light on doesn’t make a room seem twice as bright. Fechner’s formulation is “the intensity of our sensation increases as the logarithm of an increase in energy rather than as rapidly as the increase.”

Chamber of Commerce Republicans sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Chamber of Commerce Republicans reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word

Although Biden claims to be “outraged” by the killing of aid workers, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US wouldn’t leverage its extensive military aid, or anything else for that matter, to “hang some sort of condition over [Israel’s] neck.”
