  • Good Lord... I thought I had seen some shit, but everything is a void*?

    Thank you for that horrible read that I've gotta share with some friends lol

    • For the second time in my life, I'm going to eat soap.😋

  • You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere, they won't make it home, but they really don't care...

    Could it be a Fastball reference...? Hmm...

    • This time it's really going to happen, I just know it!

  • I'll have you know I'm completely serious and not poking fun at myself when I mention I use Arch, BTW!

    I think the year of Linux memes are fun. :D

    • How it feels being a linux geek: (Why yes, I do run Mint, BTW.)

    Jump

  • That's illegal! Only us big brain Arch users are allowed to say BTW! /s

    In all seriousness, I'm just glad Linux is in such a good place nowadays and I was able to switch to it full time for the past few years. Much easier to get into than my first attempt in college a over decade ago.

    • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

  • Well I was mostly looking to learn vim and was trying to use Helix as a way to do that because it looked like vim, but with a commands window that popped up to help learn the commands. They're upfront about making some breaking changes from vim though, and while I may not need to jump into a bunch of different machines that often I do like the flexibility of being able to hop into vi, vim, nvim, or some GUI editors with vim bindings relatively comfortably. So I found that LazyVim was more what I was looking for personally and nearly as easy to work with out of the box.

    I am glad to see the project seems to be going strong. That was another minor concern of mine, there's little risk of vim going anywhere, but I remember being excited about the Atom editor a while back and that just kinda faded away. If it passes the test of time I'd be happy to try it again in the future. I figure it would be easier to go from vim -> helix than vice versa.

  • I took a look at Helix when I was trying to learn vim and found it very easy to get started with, but was concerned about missing out on learning more standard vim bindings and functionality.

    I found LazyVim + NeoVim got me pretty much the same experience without diverging as much from vim. Mostly I appreciate having access to a cheatsheet for commands.

    • The home page of my $1700 smart TV has a full page ad about watching ads

  • I'm trying to understand why this is marked as NSFW... I must be missing something?

    The intrusion of ads is annoying AF, I agree. I'll have to look into that link for DNS ad-blocking, thanks!

  • I loved those Eyewitness videos with the intro flying through a CG museum. Still get nostalgic for them sometimes when TierZoo uses that theme song XD
