I work with a lot of people whose names are always flagged by spell check. It seems like a missed opportunity to me, how simple would it be to add all unique names from AD/LDAP to a workstation's spell check dictionary as part of provisioning? Or at least everyone I talk to on Teams. #inclusion

It's nice that people are just now noticing terrible alt text but I promise you, it's not a new phenomenon.

There's a reason I've been putting so much effort into explaining how to do it properly and pushing back on "any alt text is better than none" on here for *checks notes* two years.

Don't insult my intelligence, Google. A company your size was unable to keep up with a list of human cultural events? That's like one Wikipedia article. This is cowardice.
Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’
Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

Advanced #vim tip: Copying every match of a multiline regex at once

If every match is only one line, you can do
`qaq` then `:g/re/y "A`
where re is your regex. But if the regex match spans more than one line, :g will only act on the first line. So you have to do:
`:g/re/norm gnV"Ay`

Advanced #vim tip: Using a recursive macro to wrap long lists. [Yes, there's also `gq`, but this is more fun]

`qqq` - Clear q
`qq` - Start recording
`/\%>80c81|F,a==@q` - Break long line at comma
`@q` - Run macro

What's your favorite use for recursive macros?
