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 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It should be VIM

    No one comes back from VIM.

    Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

    ...or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.

    When I use Emacs, it's with Evil.

    I use emacs as my lemmy client

    i always end up just going back to vscodium.
    liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while

    Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great

    ... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

    official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

    vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.

    @vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

    A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

    Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It's a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it's as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

    I successfully moved to NeoVim

    No one comes back from VIM.

    5x ESC (for good measure), then type :q!

    Good god do I love VIM. For work I wish my regular windows notepad was vim...

    Layers upon layers of vimception!
