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 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    When will the EU force Vim to let users out?

    [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    Hit Esc then type "q!" <- how hard was that? Don't listen to the vimxit liars

    [–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Don't forget the ':' before the q!, when you type ':' you enter command mode, the q command quits the file and putting an exclamation mark after the q doesn't save the file and forces the file to be closed

    [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    Or if you want to text edit in hardcore mode, only use :x to exit. For after you've gotten used to vim and want to bring back some of the challenge.

    [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Ok, I may have forgotten about the ":" but I stand by the rest, if you can't remember how to do a qw, then you can't be trusted to write to a file.

    [–] Thaurin@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    So you can’t be trusted to write a file.

    [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    No, I'm not trust worthy

    [–] Thaurin@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

    Thanks for being honest. I’ll ask someone else when I need to write a file.

    [–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

    In the end linux is about choice, if you don't want to remember the commands to edit with vim, there are text editors like nano or some kind of notepad program from your DE

    [–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Open a new terminal and type sudo killall vim

    [–] msage@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    reboot to assert dominance

    [–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Reject modernity, return to having a single 120v power switch on the front of the computer!

    [–] msage@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

    There was a post about custom PC starting switches, and one built a gong starter. Now that would be a boss reboot.

    [–] badbytes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You must still be trapped

    [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

    I'm very close to just editing that comment
