@vaporeon_ it is not lost on me that floragatO evolves into meowscaradA

@vaporeon_ nowhere in the vi* UI is “press escape to enter commands” explained, and discoverability of the available commands if you press escape is rather weak. furthermore, the editor catches signals like interrupt, and fur whatever reason people don’t usually learn about the job control functionalities of shells, so even the alternative of c-z-ing out is something most new users won’t likely even remotely consider trying

if you’re very new to the unix purrogramming environment, or just specifically vi, it makes complete sense to me that vi could be baffling. but it’s easy enough to learn your way around

@vaporeon_ neat

@vaporeon_ Grand Theft Æro

@vaporeon_ @onfy typically its usage is adjectival so it’s not weird to hear things like “auto mechanic”. but fur whatever reason, just calling a car an “auto” would be very abnormal

@vaporeon_ @onfy it is attested to use ”auto” as short fur “automobile”, which i understand to be a bit dated, but still survives in terms like “auto loan” (loan fur a car), or, well, you know

@vaporeon_ do holly, amy & co. form a macro/micro system

@wallhackio @Lady sadness

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ yes

@vaporeon_ i believe the diffurence comes down to extensions being run in a sandboxed environment, whereas plugins lacked such restrictions and thus could be catastrophic if broken

@vaporeon_ yeah flash was a plugin

@vaporeon_ as i understand it, web browser plugins (diffurent concept from extensions) were such a reliable source of exploits that they got phased out

@clarfonthey @packbat that was my thought also

@wallhackio i have one of those aspirin/acetaminophen/caffeine pills sold as migraine medication and they can be very helpful

@wallhackio maybe tylenol in moderation, too

@wallhackio sorry to hear that, clodboy
