You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 211 points 6 days ago

Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one

The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 48 points 6 days ago

That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 42 points 6 days ago

oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 34 points 6 days ago

Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

I saw that reply and figured I'd just let the whippersnappers enjoy themselves ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 16 points 6 days ago

it's a healthy sign of a community when dad jokes enter the cultural milieu as something that's passed from generation to generation. we inherited these jokes, handed them down, and someday they'll be handed down again

Grandpa, will you tell me the story about the black and orange computer screens please?

[-] stinerman@midwest.social 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Next thing you know people aren't going to know that EMACS stands for Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping. Or why that's funny.

[-] hellmo_luciferrari@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

Today I learned

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well, seeing as I'm more than a decade younger than emacs... I guess so?

[-] exu@feditown.com 27 points 6 days ago

That's why evil-mode exists

How dare you. I'm sending the church of emacs after your ass.

Free software song starts playing

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 9 points 6 days ago

Surely someone has used the built-in Lisp interpreter to emulate a feature exact nano.

[-] msage@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Just open the file in Vim?

And the only thing preventing us mortals from having such power is the lack of a butterfly key on our keyboards

[-] moseschrute@piefed.social 16 points 6 days ago

Is it possible to downvote a comment twice?

M-x doctor

In emacs, ESC then x then type doctor, I remember this from 30 years ago

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Is it because you say โ€œI remember this from 30 years agoโ€ that emacs has a doctor?

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 8 points 6 days ago

I am a firm believer of (neo)vim being the pinnacle of editing. My workdays start with vim and end with vim. But vim is not the everything app, which the e in emacs probably stands for.

HOWEVER, there are vim plugins for almost everything, which is pretty cool. This point goes to you, emacs rivals. Let's keep it between us and not the vs code or IDE weirdos

Doom Emacs for those who have truly ascended.

[-] railwhale@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 days ago

Everyone should Doom themselves

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

I don't even agree with the meme and I hate this comment.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

It should be Neovim and Lua. Nobody should be subjected to the curse and torment of writing Elisp.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

How the fuck did you beat me to it and get so many up votes so fast

  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.

    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.
