Looking forward to it!
David Culley@pawelgrzybek Thanks for the heads-up. I might watch the video as I recently learned that neovim 0.12 will have a built-in package manager that can replace 'lazy', which sounds intriguing.
But what I also recently learned is that core maintainer MariaSolOs works at Palantir. Palantir is arguably the most evil tech company, and its CEO Alex Karp is definitely a fascist war monger and deranged psychopath who happily kills for money and wants every opponent of capitalism and/or the USA to be mortally afraid of Palantir and the fascist US regime.
I'm shocked not only that someone who works at such a company could land a position as core maintainer of Neovim but also that nobody in the Neovim community has any qualms whatsoever about platforming her (Maria Solano). Palantir, its associates Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Alex Karp, and every asshole that works at Palantir are enemies of democracy.
And don't anyone tell me, "Keep politics out of tech" or "Separate the science from the scientist".
@davidculley I read the whole post, including the last sentence. I'm afraid you must raise your political concerns about Neovim maintainers somewhere else, I have very little to do with it.
I'm also excited about new Neovim 0.12. And I'm also looking forward to remove bunch of the plugins from my setup and replace them with built-in features.
Have a good weekend David.
@pawelgrzybek Yes, my rant wasn't targeted towards you. I know you're neither part of the core maintainer team nor are you linkarzu who platforms her.
I just thought I'd share the information about Maria with you in case you aren't aware, and since you watch linkarzu.
I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't let nasty people who are enemies of humanity take full control over the tools we enjoy and need. And I dislike when people platform fascists (be they DHH, Maria Solano, or whoever) in order to become an influencer and/or increase their reputation within a community as linkarzu and many other YouTubers do.
I wish you a good weekend too.
smeikx@davidculley I also stumbled upon that when I was checking on how Neovim handles LLM usage. Felt like a punch in the gut, don’t know what to do.
