Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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.

    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."

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

    🤓 ed is the original editor

    Imo Thats more of an emacs stereotype.

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

    As an Emacs user, I support this meme.

    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

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

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

    How to use vim in 2 simple steps:

    1- Pretend to use vim

    2- Use nano like a normal person

    [–] beigegull@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

    Am I a bad person for using Visual Studio Code?

    [–] cool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    You are just normal and sane

    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.

    It's a meme
