FINAL EDIT: We've been making good progress with EVi! We've fully settled on version 9.1.0 with no AI code, we're on IRC @ #evi irc.oftc.net, we've gained a lots of popularity and we've been working on fixing tests and removing platforms that are deemed exotic with other cleanups. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this week!!!
hard-forked vim at release 9.1.0 (Jan 2024)

maybe we can get a group of people behind this??
Fuck AI.
Made an issue on how this should proceed.
In light of the events taking place on the upstream VIm repo, I hard-forked from release 9.1's code. Here's the plan I have including some options. The plan involves eventually renaming to CVI (Community's Vi IMproved), using year and month for releases instead of year, month and day. We'll...
Made a pull request to small-hack/open-slopware to add #VIm to the list.

The first commit by me to the EVi editor, a fork of VIm before the AI slop.

Introducing, the beginning of development on EVi 10.0. (Intended to leave behind VIm 9.1/9.2.)
I also aliased #Vi and #VIm to #EVi on my MacBook and HP laptops.
EVi will be my main terminal text editor from now on.
@lumi This one... honestly, I don't know what to say.
Fluxer is the only thing better than Discord by a long shot even if it was LLM written in a small way.
My opinions on this are skewed.
Like yes, involvement probably wasn't that heavy.
Yes, it might have been the only way for a single person to do something like this.
But still it's an LLM...
I'm so conflicted right now, I don't know what to do.
Using slopware is a tradeoff instead of having age verification forced on me...
@lumi i wanted to make my own chat platform once... i can't remember the specifics but it was like a twitter... fuckin discord... 4chan... idek hybrid with email, irc and skype in the mix
i don't know what the FUCK i was drinking but yeah.
IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good! here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening: - you don't need a bouncer (friggin *finally*) - there are moblie clients that work well - you can see backlog when joining a channel - you can browse chat history - you can connect from multiple devices with one account and nickname - if you disconnect, your nickname is still present in a channel you joined, marked as away - you can highlight or DM people who are away and they'll see your message when they join (without crutches like MemoServ) - there is a "last read message" marker and it is synchronized between multiple connections - messages have identifiers (and server timestamps) and replies can be tagged with the message you're replying to - messages can be redacted (for moderation) - you don't need to deal with fussy nonsense like NickServ authorization, ghosting, or such; connect with your username and password and that's it - there are typing notifiers, if you want them - there are message reactions, if you want them here's the things it does not offer: - image, video, or file uploads (actively worked on: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/562) - stickers - complex onboarding tools caveat: since IRCv3 is a true extension of IRCv2, the features listed above work if they're supported by both the server and the client. in my onboarding experience so far, people do not find it difficult to find a suitable client, but your mileage may vary. on the flipside, legacy clients will work just fine. unexpectly, i realized that IRCv3 can completely replace Matrix rooms for my own group chat purposes, and i'm probably not going to set up any Matrix homeservers again; it's just not worth it and frankly I should instead put that effort into coming up with a file upload IRCv3 extension or something
