> Atom, VS Code, now Zed, can all trace their common patterns back to ST. True, but Zed is the only spiritual successor IMO, Atom and VSCode do not care about speed or snappiness, which is the nicest thing about Sublime Text (for me.)

Definitely a smear campaign, ironically one that seems to be organized by left-leaning individuals on Wikipedia, Business Insider, etc. Which is bizarre to me because aren't these the people that would want the ability to disseminate

You can read about the logistics from countless sources. For most boats, it's not a straight shot to the US, they often refuel from boats at sea or utilize refueling points in Central America; or perform a handoff in Puerto Rico or the

Sure, that could happen if anyone actually liked Maduro. What we are seeing instead is widespread celebration.

Grabbing illegals* off the streets, which is fine in my book. They also aren't being tortured or killed en masse, so comparing this to Maduro is hysteria at best. Any non-citizens grabbed (very few! shockingly low false-positive rate,

A nation is only ultimately responsible to its citizens. I care not about illegals being deported - in fact, I support it. The US certainly is not leading the scoreboard in the murder of my people; I regret to inform you that my own people

Any nuclear-empowered nation is obviously off limits, but any nation without nuclear and with active hostilities towards the US is certainly thinking twice.

Europe's defense newswires are full of interesting stuff supposedly happening, but until money is reallocated from welfare to defense, nothing is actually happening for all practical purposes. In other words: a bunch of hot air. An

Saying the government shouldn't carry out extrajudicial executions of terrorists without providing a trial in domestic court is just very sheltered/naive. It's simply not what the real world demands.

I don't see any case of US citizens being tortured, murdered, and disappeared at scale. Source please? Source on rigged elections? I didn't believe it when Trump cried wolf and I don't believe it when people think 2024 was ri

Sure, they can certainly try. Sovereignty is an illusion until it is tested.

As far as I'm concerned, it's on the same order of badness. "Temporarily freezing" until when? The whim of some government official? No practical difference from using debanking as a political weapon.

I do follow EU defense news and I have seen that things are heating up. But I'll believe it when I see it. This will require a significant shift of public funding allocation away from welfare, and the public will need to approve it. Wi

I am deeply skeptical of this statement. Soft power is great but actual power comes from the ability to project your military and economy. As such, the US's soft power will remain until the EU is willing to compromise on its welfare st

Incredibly bothersome that these executives can rise so high and get paid so much despite having such terrible decisionmaking skills. An injection to cure obesity is a small price to ask, as any person that has been obese will tell you. Th

I would have benefited so much from AI when learning concepts, needing things explained to me in just a slightly different way, or confirming my understanding of a phenomenon. As usual, it comes down to parenting. Bad parents will blame AI
