interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.

a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I'm on lazy.nvim which works well for me.

nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that... (not cause it's better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)

    I'd swapped control and capslock almost immediately and still got emacs pinky. when I found vim, I decided I liked it more than the escape meta alt control shift madness, and quit. the vim script was better than elisp, but not great. neovim lua is better than vim script, but still a little lacking.

    i too have thousands of lines in my neovim config... but if I was starting today, the point and click editors are adequate enough that I might not invest the time.

    that said, I just added two plugins into my config today 🙃🙃

    interesting how things turned out today. no one will spend time configuring an editor anymore, and just use a pre-configured, possibly web based, default.

    I started with ms dos edit/borland. moved to Linux and emacs/xemacs shortly after (this was when the two editors were split).

    got emacs pinky and moved to vim. stayed with vim for 15+ years. finally moved to neovim (because of the Firefox extension firenvim)

    oh lol. they got my wife at stanley.

    she bought 4 (one for everyone in the family) at $40 a piece. in protest, I bought about 10 used quality water bottles from my gyms lost and found sale for $1 each.

    all u could see in our cabinets were water bottles. I think my wife gets that we have enough now so I'm safe from the next version...

    Today, the DOJ plopped a proposed regulation on the Federal Register that would authorize Attorney General Pam Bondi to block any state bar ethics investigation into current and former DOJ lawyers while the department conducts its own internal review. If state bar authorities refuse the AG’s “request” to pause an investigation, the rule allows the DOJ to “take appropriate action to prevent the bar disciplinary authorities from interfering with the Attorney General’s review of the allegations.”

    Video explaining it: youtube

    Call to action (from the video description): Today Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by lawyers. We can work to stop this rule by writing comments stating our objections. To make your voice heard, go to the comment portal here: https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ-OAG-2026-0001-0001 and click the “comment” box.

    SAMPLE OBJECTION you can model and adapt: I am a concerned citizen who cares deeply about preserving the rule of law and upholding the integrity of our justice system. I strongly oppose this new rule because it will diminish accountability for misconduct by government lawyers. I believe that lawyers representing the United States should be held to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. They must be subject to oversight by independent authorities like state bar associations; the Justice Department cannot be trusted to police itself. This proposed rule would allow the Attorney General to interfere with independent state bar investigations. That will greatly harm the integrity of our justice system and allow misconduct to go unpunished.
