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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It should be VIM

    No one comes back from VIM.

    Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

    ...or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    When I use Emacs, it's with Evil.

    I use emacs as my lemmy client

    Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It's a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it's as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

    I successfully moved to NeoVim

    ... because official vscode binaries are proprietary and include tracking components

    [โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    @vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

    A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.
