@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I think the idea is to minimise the spread from one customer to all customers, but also from a sick driver to you if the driver wears / changes gloves regularly and doesn’t handle the food too intimately.
Update on the contact-free delivery, the guy handed it to me personally and didn’t leave it outside my door.

@von@tilde.town once I read the manual and found out that the current line was the last line, all I needed to do was type «d\nw\nq\n». So glad I took the vim path instead of the emacs path.

While not disagreeing with your point, it is also worth noting that in some contexts developers are regarded as unemployable if they don’t have experience with whatever the latest technology is so it is hardly surprising that people use every opportunity they can to get exposure to the latest tools.
