After hours of playing and learning some details of vimscript, I have improved the autocomplete in vim almost to where I like it. I’ve made it work more like some GUI editors, eg Sublime and Atom, where it pops open automatically as I type and I can tab to apply the selected choice or otherwise type on and ignore it, and otherwise clean up the experience. The main thing I would like to add is fuzzy matching. I’d also like it to match more in-document words and work for more unknown file-types in a generic way.

git: MacOS default branch now “main”?
At some point recently, git init on my Mac has started to default to the branch name “main”. It did this for a repo I created today, but not for one created August 29th, so maybe Apple made a change in an update sometime between then and now. I haven’t been able to find anything about the change on the web though.
I finally failed to get my first Wordle word a couple weeks back. I had missed one in August just by time because I forgot about it, but still got the word after midnight. This time I took six guesses and didn’t get “PARER”. Apparently, it’s another name for a paring knife, but I have never heard it referred to that way. I don’t care as much though since I no longer had a streak going.

I have been loving that so many apps and sites have been moving to supporting dark modes. I find it easier on my eyes, especially in the evening / night. One place that I frequently visit that I’m disappointed doesn’t support dark mode yet is WordPress’s admin area.
There is a Dark Mode plugin that can add this, but it is primarily for the front-end of the site, which in my case already has a dark mode and I didn’t want to touch. Plus it’s a lot of third party code for something that should be built in and probably will be at some point. I decided it was time to look into if I could just inject a quick and dirty stylesheet to change some colors and improve the situation for now.

Yay, Facebook Messenger Lite (on Android) has finally got a dark mode. One of the last few apps that hadn’t had it that I use somewhat frequently. I find dark mode to be easier on my eyes in that I can look at it for longer.
