Or at least more or less. But less is more.

But anyway, I use TextMate and Emacs on Mac and Notepad++ on Windows. I also use Pulsar and Obsidian across Win, Mac and Linux.
I welcome Notepad++ to MacOS and will probably try it out, but for me, Notepad++ is a bit long in the tooth, even on Windows.
Or possibly with some of the executives who paid him homage at the inauguration.
I hear Tim Cook just became available.
I know several has mentioned Thunderbird already, but we just could not have a responsible thread about email failing on a rocketship without at least one subject referencing a favorite childhood TV show.
I always like a bit of cross-over between sci fi and fantasy. Much like in Star Wars original trilogy, the Hyperion series was fun to read because it had the mystic element present, despite being a sci fi. It tells you that despite having technology that seems like magic to us, there can still be events and beings that are _magical_ – that however much you think you have the advantage, you might still encounter that immovable barrier, that giant sandworm, that irresistible Shrike.
And the irony is that the AI generated more emissions preventing the bill than the bill would have saved if it was enacted. Net result, the campAIgn generated twice the emissions. (Loosely speaking and not based on fact, but with at least one tongue in the cheek)
Well, not _forever_
I will still trust a troll moderated Wikipedia over AI the drivel that is 95% truth and 5% complete Guillermo del Toro nightmare hallucinations. Even though I have stopped contributing to Wikipedia as it is impossible for me as an unmerited nobody to post anything without having it rolled back with a comment of "irrelevant", "wrong forum","lacking citation" (that was my fault) or "speculation" (yes I did speculate about a book cover being drawn in the same style as the Epic Adventure movie posters, like New Hope and National Lampoon's Vacation, but if you compare them you can't un-see it) - And yet, even if I'm being clobbered all the time, even on topics I think I can contribute, I believe this moderated mash is better than the artificial cud served by most LLMs. Not because the AI give the wrong answer, but because it is so vehemently pretending anything it presents is the truth. And I know all that nice fact is peppered with falsities and I have no way of telling how much until I try using that library (eg. SDL3) and find half the howto given by the AI is out of date (SDL2)
I've got a ton of Dell OptiPlex 3050 at work that I am repurposing for something Linuxy, since they can't run Windows 11. NVME support and 32GB RAM, but according to the WIN11 installer it has the wrong CPU.
By 2080 we can have banana farms in Seatle and vineyards in British Columbia.
It is there My last car was a Peugeot 5008, but when we switched for an electric, the 5008 had yet to go electric and we switched to a VW ID.4. You know, the vehicle brand previously known as the original swazticar
We do see a lot of Peugeot e2008 and e3008 around and I recently did look into the e5008, however after having driven the 300hp ID.4 GTX for a bit I could never swap that out for another 1-100 in 2 minutes car like the e5008. There are even some Citroens and Renault still on the road. But to answer your question, French car industry, like all European car manufacturers, feel the pressure from the Asian cars. Even some of the old European brands like Volvo are now essentially Chinese and more cheap brands are emerging every month.
This was never (only) about the pants. Carlsen is pissed at the committee (FIDE) after an attempt at arranging a world championship for a variety of fast chess and FIDE put a lot of effort in stopping that attempt. For Carlsen, the jeans (that looks better than most my formal pants) was just another FIDE greaseball and for FIDE this was just another attempt by Carlsen to demand some attention.
Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code. -- Dave Olson
