@fred I got into it late, when the switch port happened. I’d bounced off it a few years earlier.
The most effective way I've found to work on a neovim plugin is (unfortunately) load it into every neovim session you run, hit the bugs yourself directly, corrupt your actual data, and fix as you go.
I started out attempting clean-room neovim environment, unit tests, etc., and it's not impossible but it's certainly much harder than it should be.

@fred I normally play just the expeditions and nothing else. But it’s been a while since they had an Expedition!

New blog post: iPad Mini (2013)
https://jmtd.net/log/ipad_mini/
In or around 2014 I bought an iPad Mini (2), and following the normal
lifecycle of iOS devices, a major OS update eventually killed it as
a useful, general-purpose device: operating it was just too sluggish.
It remained useful as a streaming media player for a little while

@sxa in recent years, in Apple's cloud. There's a ~5 year period where I tried to sync to Google, and they're still there; older, I have ~138G sitting on my NAS. So a tremendous amount of de-duplicating is necessary.
one way that might work is: plan NOT to preserve the stream. Treat photos as ephemeral by default, so that they will disappear. And then treat photos to keep by exception.
