Starting now and through at least the end of November, I’m setting aside 25% of omg.lol’s net proceeds to help any members who are unable to buy food due to the loss of SNAP funds. I’ll donate whatever isn’t needed to the Dare to Care food bank here in Louisville, KY.

Communities like ours can help each other out in tough times, and this is one simple way to do that.

If you rely on SNAP funds and need a hand, you can email help@omg.lol.

What'd I miss?

components know:
- user stuff
- device stuff
- app stuff
- design stuff
- what stuff is in them
- what stuff they're inside
- etc

It's amazing how much a component can know on the web, and I'm going to try and list it all out. Help me 🤓

Trick or treat candy is for everyone. Cute kid in an adorable costume? Candy. Teen not in a costume feeling self-conscious but hoping you'll give 'em candy anyway? Candy. Adults accompanying the trick-or-treating little kids so they don't run into traffic in a middle of a sugar high? Oh, you best believe they're getting candy. You, giving out the candy? Have a fun-size treat, babe, you deserve it. CANDY FOR EVERYONE, all the time and this year most of all.

Do you have apps that don’t seem to be syncing via iCloud properly? Turns out there’s a new iCloud terms and condition agreement you need to accept in IOS settings before syncing will work again.

My iPad alerted me to this but my iPhone did not and of course only accepting it on one device means syncing is still broken.

We’ve been getting a spate of users writing to complain that our apps have been having trouble with iCloud and now I think I know the root of the cause.

THANKS APPLE!

> Meanwhile, actual expertise continues to be devalued across the board. Intellectual curiosity that helps develop that expertise is steadily being devalued in favor of “productivity” hacks. And my absolute favorite, AI “solutions” to problems that were created by previous non-AI “solutions” that also didn’t understand the original problem they claimed to solve.

Vim has always been charityware. Any money that was donated to the project went to ICCF Holand, an organization that helps marginalized children in Uganda.

Sadly, 2 years after Bram's passing, this charity will be dissolved. Future donations will be sent to a different charity called Kuwasha: https://groups.google.com/g/vim%5Fannounce/c/pUNbNXBLbKw

Bram's work over the years has done much good for disadvantaged communities. Whether you use Vim or Neovim, consider following their original creator's example in whatever way you can.
