Ha, I missed that part. Subtle.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don't.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

And those who weren't expecting a ternary joke.

I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don't know how to quit it.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 32 points 2 months ago

Asking someone that doesn't know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.

[-] Notserious@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

It’s my band name but all the members quit when I told them.

[-] kittenzrulz123 11 points 2 months ago

You can always close vim but you can never quit >:3

"We are programmed to receive."

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 2 months ago

My brain is too smooth for modal environments. I require one mode or fewer.

"Theres also a emacs plugin"

Truly heresy against the lord Linus Torvalds, Vim is the only correct option all else is unholy.

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago
[-] kittenzrulz123 7 points 2 months ago

Well obviously neovim is also a correct option, does that really even need to be said?

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

My dad probably takes the cake as he used the OG VI back in the day.

[-] wanderingwizard@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Linus uses emacs. Not GNU emacs, but still emacs.

Nano is for people posing at using Linux

You have to commit to a side in the war

I have to be honest I thought OP was being 100% serious until the last line.

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

That last line is why I shared it with others who have no idea what half the things it's referencing are.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

This is true because NetBSD runs on the actual Mastodon.

[-] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

Jokes aside, is Mastodon still tech nerd dominated in 2025? This was from 2022.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 months ago

I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.

But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Why can't we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?

[-] desktop_user 3 points 2 months ago

we would board containers and find the tun/tap.

[-] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

As long as tech nerds can learn to be decent human beings, platforms can be awesome with them on it.

[-] ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

There are dozens of us!

Hey! I know some of those words!

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago

This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.

[-] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

...jokes that everyone could understand.

I'm sorry, but most people have never heard of BSD, VIM, or emacs.

[-] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 47 points 2 months ago
[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What who doesn't use emacs? I'll could send you my dotfiles...I just need to fix them.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 months ago

This is most likely a joke akin to xkcd 2501

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Linux community in a nutshell and also way too many developers

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago
[-] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

It's a type of sausage that's famous in the Netherlands

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

It's the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he's internet famous for whatever reason

Well I do use Linux on various devices and on my Raspberry Pi, it's just that my laptop is Windows. No, don't throw rocks at me, I use WSL too.

Also, I've somehow yet to post on Mastodon from Emacs. The existence of such Emacs addon didn't surprise me, because I've posted to identica and twitter from Emacs. You know, back in the day.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Rock throwing intensifies 😾
