Actually, Ctrl+C is the ASCII Code for the control character ETX (End of Text) since the early 60s. This is not a hotkey but a control character. To change this system, you’d have to change not only dozends of terminal emulators and the kernels of all unixoid operating systems, but at least ANSI, Unicode and Posix, too. And Windows, by the way - even Microsoft uses ctrl+c in both cmd.exe and powershell to kill the running process.

They are EU founding members.

Actually, glue used to be made from sinew and bones or simply with flour and water, and used to be perfectly eatable. Modern glue, though – well, Ok. You’ve got a point there.

They are standing between tram tracks and a car lane.

Actually there are quite a few archeological findings showing that at least in some cultures, reading and writing was far more common than we think. Cf. e.g. https://ruscorpora.ru/en/corpus/birchbark or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindolanda_tablets.

There is a border drawn between Moldeva and Romania - it aligns partially with the Danube looking more like a river unless you zoom in. Still, you’re not wrong - claiming Moldova for Central Europe is sort of indirectly laying claim to it.

Resarch can only study the average effect. If switching to a certain font does not help on average, it does not mean that it helps never.

AWK?

If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image’s content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be “lightweight”, not to speak of the combination.

For enlightenment?

Thank you.

I think the exact magnitude of the billionaire caste illustrates the magnitude of the point.

You vastly overestimate the billionaire cast. As of April 2025, there seem to be 902 billionaires in the US. (I can’t access the original Forbes article, sorry).

He’s talking to his domestic audience, trying to reassure them that his genocide in Gaza is not destroying the international support Israel needs to survive.

As long as they have a plugin for vim shortcuts. I don’t know how many :w I left strewn over my documents at work.

I’m not shure whether vim is not capable of handling photos — I never tried this plugin: https://github.com/ashisha/image.vim

Edit: it’s 10 years old and uses python2 and PIL, so it needs a bit dusting off, but with a bit of caring love, it should be able to run again.

Vim too. The difference is that emacs cultivates and promotes its omnitool capabilities, while vim hides its equally omnipotent plugins shamefully in https://www.vim.org/scripts/

It’s a style of writing German used primarily in ich_iel. The name is a word play on tongs (German Zange) and tongue (German Zunge, or, as a synonym to language, Sprache). Zangendeutsch uses as many English words as possible, but translates them in the most ridiculous manner possible. The word Zangendeutsch itself is a nice example: die deutsche Sprache = the German tongue => the German tong = Zangendeutsch. There is a tiny community reverting this principle, using English vocabulary with German phraseology: i_itrl. Check it out to get an idea of the effect.
