🚀 might surprise you by allowing writes to "unwritable" because, apparently, rules are just friendly suggestions in the world. 🙃 It's like the of operating systems, sticking it to restrictions just to impress niche projects like Julia and rr. 😎

#MissKittyWide How do you get somebody to stop? Stop the mind. I'm going to research that. I will need some #Jedi #mind #tricks to try and get people to get quiet mentally when I speak so that they can hear me. I am sure there are tactics for it. People's #minds are #too #loud. They can't hear.

Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts and System Settings indicator – The Robservatory

Although I have to have a machine running macOS Tahoe to support our customers, I personally don't like the look of Liquid Glass, nor do I like some of the functional changes Apple has made in macOS Tahoe.

So I have macOS Tahoe on my laptop, but I'm keeping my desktop Mac on macOS Sequoia for now. Which means I have the joy of seeing things like this wonderful notification on a regular basis.

Or I did, until I found a way to block them, at least in 90 day chunks. Now when I open System Settings → General → Software Update, I see this:

The secret? Using device management profiles, which let you enforce policies on Macs in your organization, even if that "organization" is one Mac on your desk. One of the available policies is the ability to block activities related to major macOS updates for up to 90 days at a time (the max the policy allows), which seems like exactly what I needed.

Manually updating font list
This is not needed if you use high-level facilities, but in case of manual, low level manipulation of fonts repositories in your machine just issue fc-cache -f -v to update the available font lists.

I looked for it far too many times; taken askubuntu.com/questions/3697/h

Thank you for your reaction. We both love the choice we have in the flavour of Vim we can run.

When I started with BBS debugging and management many, many decades ago, I felt blessed that with the Waffle BBS port to dos a port of vi was also included. It did not help me on the Amiga 500 I {still} have, but of course there was a vi implementation on the Amiga too. I did not know that Bram (had written / was writing VIM already).
The POTS phone lines were horrific in my country (SR / SA) so vi was the only usuable editor to work on the BBS back and front end, since I only had a 2400BPS modem on that machine.
In the beginning I mostly used `:i` entered my text in config files and <ESC> as fast as possible to make sure crappy characters did not get into my files, then did `:wq` to exit

When I later learned about Bram Molenaar's awsome creation of VIM I was hooked.
IMHO everyone should learn VIM / vi basic editing since vi will always be installed on a Open Source OS.

I can understand why you love neoVIM. What's important is that you have choice and a smooth workflow covering decades

Have fun!

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnífico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.

The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.

History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"

Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!

There are people who love EMACS. To them I say

<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>

Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2

Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.

Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration

The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:

Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]

I wonder why they have LLM support?

Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktop

If this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file
