Can any neovim experts tell me how to change the ':set spell" colors?

Typos have a bright pink/red background and punctuation errors have a bright green background, and they're both pretty hard to read with my terminal color scheme.

I tried all of the colors schemes that come with neovim, and none of them changed the spelling highlight colors.

I'm on NVIM v0.7.2 on Debian Bookworm

@hyde

I'm a total vim noob (24 years and counting, lol)

I have no idea where that is set.

Yes, KDE Plasma Discover, thank you so much for notifying me that I have updates ready the second after I run `apt update` and the second before I run `apt upgrade`.

Your vigilance is appreciated. 😄

Some appliances make assumptions of what is hot and what is neutral.

And especially when there's no grounding plug, you might have hot AC on the outside of a metal appliance. Especially old toasters.

Utilities throwing dotfiles/dotdirs under ~ are the 2020s *niX equivalent to 1990s/2000s DOS/Windows programs putting directories directly under C:\

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

20 years ago, I was blown away with the smoothness and stability of Linux while doing intensive tasks.
Today, on fairly recent hardware, my bluetooth mouse stutters while performing a backup (with nice +19 and ionice -c3).

Umm... what happened?

P.S. The bluetooth adapter and USB HDD are not on the same USB bus. I just checked ;)

My furson used to do this 😭😿🐈😻😺

I don't have a problem with furries, but I'm not one. ;)

I *was* a very proud cat-dad, though. 😿

Watching Abram Engle's videos is both healing and painful, because his Kurt is so similar to my Hobbes.

@tek_dmn

I like furry animals, but becoming one doesn't really appeal to me.

@jonyoder

Ha, thanks man!

Top right is `watch` and this guy: https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/cputoggle
(which in this mode just runs `lscpu -e` and uses awk to remove some unneeded columns)

The first use of JS I saw and liked was chat websites that no longer needed you to refresh to view new messages.

Also, Google Maps was initially a fantastic use case for AJAX.

Oh, just trying to compile a simple rust utility on an inexpensive ARM laptop with 4 GB RAM. 🤣

Them: #Mastodon really needs feature XYZ like #Twitter!!

Me: *ahem*
Bruv, I used Twitter when it had:
* No quote tweets
* No threads!
* No retweets!! (You had to copy the text, reply, prepend "RT: " and paste in the text of their tweet, and hope it didn't go over 144c)
* No hashtags (that was only on hashtags.org!)
* No search
* No pictures!!!! (You posted a link to TwitPic or Posterous!!)

So maybe just chill out and enjoy mastodon for what it is today, mmkay? ;)

I seem to recall soneone designed a single-instruction architecture at some point.

The single instruction was some kind of crazy conditionally-branching subtraction.

I don't say this enough, but man, I'm just so honored to be here among all you amazing weirdos.

It's 2024.

You go to compile a CLI chat utility.

It sucks down 600 dependencies, eats gigabytes of RAM while compiling, and pegs your CPUs.

Done compiling; you run it, it's perfect, does everything you need.

Memory footprint: 86 MiB.

This is fine?!?!?!?!????

*scratches head*

Aye. Various deep-dives on why it was the way it was in the thread if you're curious. :)
