Every computer has a built-in "exit vim" button, conveniently located on the chassis, usually next to the power cord. Flick it to 0, then back to 1, and you'll find vim has been successfully exited. :)
What if my PC boots straight into Vim? It's not like I need anything else, can do everything in Vim
Jokes aside, vim as PID 1 is just a bad idea.
Emacs on the other hand: https://github.com/emacs-os/el-init
That's a great idea from GitHub user el-sloppo and Claude.
Did you read the retrospective.md
AI;DR
Then you obviously didn't read it.
Yes. That's literally what I said.
If they couldn't be bothered to write it, I see no reason I should be bothered to read it.
That settles it. Emacs is better than Vim
I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol

Zombo.com

Can vim be pid-1? No? emacs can B)

mmmkay.
You simply need to set up a MCP server which controls the smart plug and give the AI access to it.
I don't even know what a MCP server is and I feel like I've somewhat dodged a bullet there. Ignorance is bliss. :)
