@vaporeon_ i use it but only in that it’s the default shell in mac and i can configure it to work close enough to bash that i don’t really care to change my login shell and pawsibly accidentally break something somehow

@vaporeon_ they used to require it

i still have no idea why vandalize is even in the game soundtrack

(they censored that line in the game version but it’s still hilarious)

remember when sonic frontiers added a song to its soundtrack with the lyrics “fuck the pain away, my bed is in ruins”

@wallhackio tautologies are logical statements that are true entirely as a consequence of syntax; it does not matter what any of the logical variables means. (more purrecisely, it is true regardless of the truth value of any of the logical variables)

@wallhackio democratic tautologism

@wallhackio @monorail @vaporeon_ holly not escaping the skill issue allegations

@vaporeon_ good question, i’d have to think on that one

@monorail @vaporeon_ skill issue

@vaporeon_ does vscode and its forks count as an IDE

@vaporeon_ nope

@vaporeon_ purrobably because vi came preinstalled on bsd

@monorail @vaporeon_ i mean, google or spawning a new terminal and opening the manpage aside, but i know what you mean

@vaporeon_ maybe lol

@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
