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.

    Everyone at work is using Cursor these days, except for me using neovim and my emacs loving coworker. When we present during pair programming our coworkers go nuts over watching our workflows and trying to figure out if they can do similar things in Cursor lol.

    tbh they probably can, it's just more ctrl involved

    Neovim and emacs are both incredibly heavy. I would rather just use something like VScodium.

    Nano and Vim are small and quick.

    I know this is supposed to be a joke. But, VI is awful, and i can't believe anybody would use that over a modern editor. But, I know some people who like it.

    I prefer vim, but vi is nice too. (I miss Vimperator for Firefox)

    It’s just so fast when you get it down. It works well with a cli-only work flow. Why use mouse when type very fast?

    There’s immense pleasure and honor in writing C the way our ancestors did.

    Vim actually has pretty good mouse support too if you turn it on!

    for Firefox there's now Vimium-c and Tridactyl. personally using Vimium and its been great

    it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. It's not awful though. Arcane, yes. very powerful? also yes.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

    Most people just use vim

    Nano is just better and I'll happily die on this hill

    VI is life

    If you don't have one to begin with, sure, I guess. For everyone else, there's Nano.
