jbzβοΈ Vim Classic 8.3 Debuts as an AI-Free Vim Fork https://linuxiac.com/vim-classic-8-3-debuts-as-an-ai-free-vim-fork/
Peter "Lackaffe" FrΓΆhlichOkay, that's a nice touch: vim-classic is in the OpenBSD 7.9 repos and just a pkg_add away.

Couldn't seem to get #VimClassic to compile on #FreeBSD.
But then I realized the only thing I used it for is sncli, because it does something funny with the terminal when it hands it off to nvi, such that the cursor becomes invisible. But then, it's just a !reset to fix it, so I might as well just stick with nvi. ;)
Geob-o-matic#vimclassic Looking for plugins repository that works on vim classic, is there any βawesomeβ page?
Guillaume-Jean HerbietI updated my notes on #Ansible integration with #Vim (also works with #VimClassic ): https://hackmd.io/@gjherbiet/ansible-vim
knoppixDrew DeVault released the first version of Vim Classic, a Vim 8.2-based fork created to preserve a traditional editing experience without generative AI involvement. β¨οΈ
The project backports selected security fixes and bug patches while remaining compatible with classic Vim workflows and charityware roots. π

And #btw, I now use #vimclassic, as I only rely on very few #vim plugins anyway (mostly some additional syntaxes + `vim-gitgutter`).

Some FosseryWeb updates:
In the announcement post of last week's major update I asked whether the original site should have rounded, slighly rounded, or edged corners, all three options received one vote, so I decided to go with the middleground, the slightly rounded corners. I also updated the Timeline page to include last week's major update and the design change, fixed metadata on the Min site's cheatsheet pages (where the title said FosseryWeb instead of FosseryWeb Min), updated the "tools I use" section on About page.

https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/
(The site is a bit slow at the moment, seems like Codeberg servers have some performance issues, probably a bit much load due to a bunch of FOSS projects leaving GitHub, the majority of them going to Codeberg. Luckily you can run the site(s) offline too, see instructions in README: https://codeberg.org/fosseryweb/pages)
Minor update to my Joplin config:
Joplin recently got an update where F11 got mapped to toggling fullscreen by default, which conflicted with my setting of toggling the note list, so I decided to modify toggling sidebar (notebook list) to F2 and toggling note list to F3, to ensure the two keys are next to each other, and don't conflict with any default setting.

LucasAnd since #VimClassic was released a couple of days ago, I'll use this as an opportunity to install and test-drive that as well.
