• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: over 1 year ago

• is there a way to make highlighted text persistent after quit when using something like [match Search /\%'.line('.').'l/] ?

  I've not used vimwiki locally (tho I'm old enough to remember the Vim wiki on vim.org :), but I think what you are wanting to do is extend vimwiki's syntax file. I presume it installs one at $VIMRUNTIM/syntax or or ~/.vim/syntax. If this sounds right, then create a ~/.vim/after/syntax/vimwiki.vim file and place your match command in there. Then everytime you open a vimwiki file it should apply your... Source: over 1 year ago

• vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

  Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence. It's a valuable tool, fine, but a complete disregard for anyone who doesn't love a crappy website and would like to navigate a website like a normal human is not something to be defended. Maybe...

• What is YOUR process of writing ?

  I write in Vim with some customizations in my vimrc to gear it more towards prose writing than code editing. It's not pretty, but Normal Mode and Ex commands are the most powerful text editing tools out there, so that means I spend less time on making corrections and other edits. Source: over 2 years ago

• English to Latin translation requests go here!

  These words come from Lorem Ipsum, dummy text used by graphic designers to showcase a font or typeset, rather than distract the reader with the text itself. It looks like Latin because it comes from De Finis Bonorum Et Malorum ("on the limits of good and evil"), one of Cicero's most lengthy works of Latin literature. Some of the words may be true to the original Latin, but it is designed to say nothing as many of... Source: about 1 year ago

• First Afghan and Halal bakery opens in Henrietta

  I bet it was lost in translation. Looks like a copypasta from https://lipsum.com/. The reference to not just PageMaker, but Aldus PageMaker is a clue to how long it's been around. The site has a number of other issues, too, but it's still better than third-party sites which exist only to drive traffic to delivery services or their POS. Source: about 1 year ago

• document I found that seems puzzling to me. Lots of repeated words and seems encoded

  Yeah it's dummy/greeking text. You can read all about it here: https://lipsum.com/ it has a fascinating history. Source: about 1 year ago

• I booted up mobile discord only to be met with a latin text about the costumer and pregnancy.

  Also fun fact, you can generate it on sites like this. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gave my two weeks notice and boss wants me to take on additional work

  I think that the OP should write the manual, interspersed with actual content but mostly filled with lorem ipsum that appears to be written text but would actually require it to be read rather than flipped through. It's what books/newspapers used as props have when it's not a means of communicating anything to the audience. Wasting time doing the useless manual will take away time from productive activities.
