I use it all the time, the Fugitive version, to share or point a block of code with my tram. I will select a block, :Gbrowse, then copy and paste the url to my collaborators. Basically a round about way of linking to lines a file.

Come on - you’d say the same thing about the freeway that plowed through some wonderful neighborhoods and blights us with noise and pollution. It’s all good. Cars are going electric, Ethereum is going to become efficient - problem solved. &

This vaguely reminds me of hell.com. I don’t remember what was on it - maybe some net art? But it was a rare “private” website requiring an invite to get it - this in the early era when websites were never private.

Some modern art does not stand on its own. It requires the expert explanation to transform it from garbage to art. For myself this is “clever art” and has little cultural value. Damien Hirst once had a work on display and a janitor threw it
