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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    lemmitors

    Did you forgot that lemmings are an actual animal?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    You're both close. Combine the two and add a chocolate and coconut flakes coat. Everyone loves Lemmingtons.

    Kbimbos

    Or Kbinbows for those who want to evoke the same obscure Japanese-language pun as Michaelsoft Binbows

    Took me a while but I eventually realised I had to SSH from a other machine and initiate a reboot. It becomes second nature after a while.

    Either that or ":wq" if you actually want to write things. These are the only commands one really needs to use VIM in a most basic sense. I don't get how it's so hard to remember or whatever

    :x if you want to save a keystroke ;)

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    True that! For me it's just mostly muscle memory now, 'x' makes me think execute which is why I'll never be able to use it without hesitating.

    There's so much non-info ingrained in my memory by nothing but my own logic which is why ^.

    But using ZZ to tuck that file into bed is the only way I can do it now

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

    I like lemming instead of lemmitor

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Run vimtutor. Everyone should.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    sure, I did but I didn't remember squat.

    Some former coworkers and I created a random number generator that worked by opening an insurance of vim and instructing someone who isn't familiar with vim to close the program. By recording the keystrokes we could get a string of random characters or numbers.

    The results weren't very random but that shit delighted or immature asses

    Yeah, who would want to leave Vim? Reddit on the other hand... :-P

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

    Yeah. Reddit still comes up in search results when I am troubleshooting. So they get my click once in a while but otherwise I avoid Reddit like a plague.

    give micro a try if you don’t like vim!
