Ha, I missed that part. Subtle.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don't.

I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don't know how to quit it.
Asking someone that doesn't know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.
It’s my band name but all the members quit when I told them.
"What's this machine do?"
"It is a dedicated word processor."
I know you are not joking because it was only a week ago really good tech journalism site The Register did a walk through on making a dedicated Word 5.0 bootable USB

"Ah sweet that's some sick retro tech!"
"Haha yea...retro..."
Now I understand what they use all those ThinkPads for
You can always close vim but you can never quit >:3
"We are programmed to receive."
My brain is too smooth for modal environments. I require one mode or fewer.

"Theres also a emacs plugin"
Truly heresy against the lord Linus Torvalds, Vim is the only correct option all else is unholy.
NeoVim says hi.
Well obviously neovim is also a correct option, does that really even need to be said?
My dad probably takes the cake as he used the OG VI back in the day.
Sonny, we wrote it Vi back in the day. Capital V, lower case i. Now get off my lawn! Isn't it cold? Policemen look younger and younger every year.
nano/Kate >>>
Nano is for people posing at using Linux
You have to commit to a side in the war

I have to be honest I thought OP was being 100% serious until the last line.
That last line is why I shared it with others who have no idea what half the things it's referencing are.
This is true because NetBSD runs on the actual Mastodon.
Jokes aside, is Mastodon still tech nerd dominated in 2025? This was from 2022.
I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.
But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.
Why can't we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?

Hey! I know some of those words!
This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.
My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.
This is most likely a joke akin to xkcd 2501
Linux community in a nutshell and also way too many developers
What's Linux?
It's a type of sausage that's famous in the Netherlands
It's the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he's internet famous for whatever reason
The concerns on using Mastodon and the likes is probably propaganda to dissuade people from using open source and defederated social media.
