@FediFollows @purism Or the phones are super expensive; last I checked their laptops and desktops aren't super expensive

@jrfjr I thought that that was a C. S. Lewis quote. Huh

Just learned this morning that Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, passed away recently at 62. I’ve been a user of Vim since my 20s, so even though I’ve never met Bram his work has been an important part of my life.

@FediFollows I think @purism might be worth mentioning as well. Super expensive, but they help with Open Source development.

@IslandUsurper I don't think I have. I'll give some of its tracks a listen then!

Mega Man music is the best. OK, just behind music in my opinion.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to start your posts with "I don't know who needs to hear this" when dunking on someone else's hypocrisy.

The fantastic dead leaf mimicry of the Uropyia meticulodina moth lets it hide in plain sight.

For todays #ThrowbackThursday, here’s #MarioKart DS, the first game in the series with online play.

Great game with some amazing tracks (Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Delfino Square, Luigi’s Mansion), and probably the best single player content in the series too.

@CM30 This was a nice little part of my childhood :)

@cjwatson @qurlyjoe Deuteronomy 15:1-11 was directed at the Israelites, yes. The Old Testament law was just the law of the ancient Israelites, but due to who Christians believe created the Bible, when there's something universal in the Old Testament, we'll continue to follow it.

@cjwatson @qurlyjoe Matthew 6:12: "and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." (translation: ESV).
This is part of the well-known example prayer by Jesus, "the Lord's prayer". On giving it a read (again) I think it is pretty clear that it is in no way talking about money owed.
