1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    How to use vim in 2 simple steps:

    1- Pretend to use vim

    2- Use nano like a normal person

    [–] kernelle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    ESC ESC ESC :q

    [–] Kalkaline@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Am I a bad person for using Visual Studio Code?

    [–] cool@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

    You are just normal and sane

    [–] beigegull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I tried nano, but none of the standard key combination would let me save or quit.

    [–] demonsword@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    you can always edit /etc/nanorc if you don't like the stock keyboard shortcuts

    [–] Temetra@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Or Micro, if you're a filthy casual like me

    [–] rackmountrambo@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Jesus, how much more basic can you really get than nano?

    [–] nicman24@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

    Ed or just sed

    [–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 8 points 2 years ago

    and when something isn't available in vim, just use the built-in terminal to access it

    "What are you trying to tell me? What I can quit vim?"
    "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to."

    Transcription:

    [you go to jail meme template]

    Panel 1: You want to write a program? Use vim.

    Panel 2: [logos of matplotlib, pandas, and R] Need to process scientific data? Also vim.

    Panel 3: [LaTeX logo] Writing a report about that data? Vim.

    Panel 4: [OpenSCAD, CadQuery logos] 3D modeling? Believe it or not, straight to vim.

    As an Emacs user, I support this meme.

    [–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    When I was programming around 1990, we used VI, not VIM, and there was this rivalry with the emacs people. It was like one of those "Windows vs Mac", "iOS vs Android" things but with UNIX text editors. Glad to see, 30+ years later, VI(M) people and emacs people are able to reconcile their differences :)

    Now I feel bad to have moved to other editors over the years, nowadays VSCode :P

    [–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Bold of you to assume that the VIM emacs wars have ended

    Both sides of the debate: WE Will win this fight! ... Eventually.

    One hundred years later.....

    [–] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

    I ask interviewees what they use as a text editor. If they answer emacs, job interview over.

    [–] jcup@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

    Based meme :wq

    [–] pacology@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Was this image coded in vim pixel by pixel? If not, I’m disappointed.

    [–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    Imo Thats more of an emacs stereotype.

    I mean, there is a openSCAD preview plugin https://github.com/zk-phi/scad-preview

    [–] Nomecks@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I dunno, sed, awk and echo do just fine without layering on the bloat with Vim

    [–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

    πŸ€“ ed is the original editor

    [–] Seven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    "Keeping a diary of your life? vim. Managing AI data? vim. Doing simple edits on programs? IDK, nano I guess."

    [–] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    Wtf is there a reddit like banner at the bottom? Is this really a thing we gonna do? There is barely such thing as orginal content these days. when it comes to memes and "ownership" it is a ridiculous concept Considering there is nothing to "profit" off of. Karma on Reddit was meaningless and it doesn't even exist here.

    And the last point that is maybe valid is it brings attention to the specific community and lemmy. But i can promise you ppl will be more interested organically than they ever will be by an eyesore of a banner. Shit just linking to the original post is better for getting someone to the site and potentially getting them to sign up.

    And the banner just straight up on the post. Shit is stupid and i hope i dont see it more places on lemmy.

    [–] utopianfiat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    It's a meme

    [–] Evoke3626@lemmy.fmhy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

    R u retarded

    [–] sebastian_m@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

    Funnily enough, I have had the same experience recently, but with VSCode

    [–] Kutsuya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Vscode is the way to go. I know how to use vim, I just find it a hassle. Been using Linux for over 20 years by now, man, time flies...

    [–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    guess what, VS Code has a vim mode

    [–] Kutsuya@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I prefer to stay away from torture.

    [–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    That's what I though, but a few weeks in I also switched Obsidian to vim mode and I'm loving it

    [–] MinekPo1@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

    Wait you can do modeling in vim? OMG I need to try

    [–] TheMuffinMan@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

    I still haven't discovered an itch that R couldn't scratch.

    [–] andrewfeeney@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

    I enjoyed this meme.

    You joke, but this is how the typing system of BASH works

    Also, upvote for Nanachi 🐰

    [–] Seven@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago
