Imagine what London would be like with the majority of the lines in the centre being on elevated tracks instead of underground
The first thing that sprang to mind was the movie Metropolis.

> An underground train network is the pinnacle of public transport—right now, in New York and Chicago... people are being whisked through a network of tunnels, deep below the bustling city
Chicago is almost entirely above ground. Very little of the network is below the city.
Out of 224.1 miles of track, only 11.4 are underground (5%).[1] Only two out of the eight lines run that 11.4 miles and the majority of their time is spent on elevated tracks above street level.
That said, a ring around the city would be great. The hub and spoke layout dramatically limits Chicagoans ability to get around.
Despite its name, only 45% of London Underground is underground. As I recall only 3 or 4 lines are entirely subterranean, most run on the surface once they are out of the centre.

I wish all my todo items had 2-3 words. This looks fine with the examples but I bet it’s not so clean with realistic data.
Once ever. The default search returned results from Amazon and local files potentially leaking your search intended to find local files to Ubuntu who in turn claimed that it was ok because potentially intensely personal info that could be inferred from queries weren't personally attributable to you.
This was obviously not ok and it never happened again this was if I recall correctly around 2012.
Ah thanks. I did a quick search before posting and this article was listed as from 2019, but that was when it was last updated - it did just happen once in 2012.

I do this too, but with a text file per day.
I have my 3 favourite bindings from vimwiki in my config and have used this 'system' for years without any problems.
<leader>ww = go to diary home
<leader>w<leader>w = go to today
<leader>w<leader>d = go to list of days
If you'd have told me a couple of years ago that DHH and PewDiePie would be vocal Linux evangelists in 2025, I'd have thought you were nuts.

I believe rather my own eyes over a long career than these surveys. It's certainly well below 10% if you don't count being just used for the lack of any alternative (aka sshing)
The group of devs makes all the difference.
In my current role (contracting at a gov dept in a part that uses Rails and PostgreSQL) it's about 30% using vim or neovim.
In the rest of the department where it's .net and Microsoft all the way, the devs likely have never heard of vim.

My dots are open to anyone who cares to view my GitHub. I do tend to keep employer specific aliases/stuff in an `.employer.zsh` file that is sourced by my main `.zshrc`. But my NeoVim config is completely open for inspection. I'm not doing anything all that extraordinary though. I don't share my dots on Reddit simply because I don't feel like using my real identity on that platform.
When it comes to consuming the dots of others, I just switched to AxOS for Linux... and am auditioning Celestia (https://github.com/caelestia-dots/shell). This means that in 3 months, my desktop will likely look like everyone else's. I probably won't even commit any of this as it's not really my stuff.
Similarly, I have two sets of dotfiles, a public one and a private one (hosted on my own server).
Somehow, 11 people have starred my public ones on GitHub.
Apparently they "retired the expansion" of the initialism in 2009: https://dot.kde.org/2009/11/24/repositioning-kde-brand/
Totally missed that - makes sense, thanks! I assumed Plasma was a rebranding so was surprised to see KDE making a comeback.
