Alright does anyone know Sublime Text Magic?

The main thing that had been holding me back from upgrading Sublime Text 3->4 is that "New View into File", a feature I use on at least an hourly basis, was removed.

I hacked it back in with a custom menu item.

PROBLEM: Now if I open a second view into a file, and close *one*, it thinks I'm closing *the entire file* and asks if I want to save. It shouldn't do that. I'm not closing the file, just a duplicate tab.

What should I do? :(

Which brings me to a warning.

Tempting as it can be, under no circumstances should you use the instructions I’ve provided here to assemble your own personal arm of crows to carry out acts of unspeakable evil—or even to wage justified campaigns of retribution against your enemies.

Crows are wise birds, and they will catch own quickly. Once your crow army realizes that your seeming friendship is merely an instrumental ploy to harness their power to your own ends, may God help you—for I cannot.

What a lovely excerpt: #Pele

“We went up together to head a ball,” the Italian defender Giacinto Facchetti said after playing him. “I was taller, had a better leap. When I came back down, I looked up in astonishment. Pelé was still there, in the air, heading that ball. It was like he could stay suspended for as long as he wanted to.” Facchetti’s teammate Tarcisio Burgnich was more circumspect. “I told myself he’s made of skin and bones, like everyone else,” he said. “I was wrong.”

The Benfica goalkeeper Costa Pereira met Pelé in the 1962 Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup, a meeting between the European and South American champions. “I arrived hoping to stop a great man,” he said. “I went away convinced I had been undone by someone who was not born on the same planet as the rest of us.” nytimes.com/2022/12/29/sports/ (gift link)

I made a Chrome extension that adds a "Copy Alt Text" option to the right-click menu on images. A few kind folks have offered localizations, and now it's time to cut a release.

Before I do, I'd love to add other languages. I have Czech and Japanese, can you help with others?

Open a PR to github.com/alt-text-org/alt-te or translate:

- "Alt Text Copy"
- "Copy Image Alt Text By Right Clicking"
- "Copy Alt Text"

Please boost 💜

We've been showing my kid some Terry Pratchett and reading her some books, and she's now weirdly obsessed with Rincewind. I also got her a plush Luggage, which is great.

* Last person who was a known survivor from a slave ship died in 1940.
* The last survivor of slavery that I found was Sylvester Magee, who died in 1971.

This is not a comprehensive list of "all dates relevant to all issues in racial justice in the United States". What it is meant to make clear is that, despite all the black and white photography (which is intentional), you likely have parents and grandparents who carry living memory of these events.

So history, yes. "Ancient" history, no.

Detaching this because it feels weird to include it in the same thread, but I love that @AvengingFemme also uses the word "kerfuffle." I so rarely see it used, and it makes me happy.
