  • We’re not facing a problem, we’re in a predicament.

    We always have, we always will

    That’s a statement of religious faith. We have barely ever even existed so it’s plainly nonsense, and there is no rule of the universe that we must continue to exist or that we cannot unfixably destroy our planet’s ability to support us. You’re just baselessly asserting “they’ll think of something”.

    it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the “just missing a good editor” joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.

    (personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had ctrl next to a.)

    You do? Because I don’t. There is nothing racist about the concept of master. Is a masterpiece racist? Are master tapes, Are post-graduate degrees racist? We may as well declare “work” insensitive because slaves had to work.

    Don’t get me wrong, there are many terms we should adjust. I just can’t see how “master” is one of them.
