Yet more #annoyances:
If you're going to have me editing files, at least have me do it with #vi/#vim and not freaking #nano.
#wtf
Does anyone know of a #museum of sorts where you can experience #UNIX machines from the 70s/80s hands-on?
I'd love to one day experience the way our predecessors did everyday tasks such as using a shell on a #teletype or writing a simple C program in #vi / #emacs on a hardware #terminal half a century ago.
Bonus points if it's near #Germany.

So I’ve been using vi for over three decades now, and vim was often the flavor of vi being used.
I just noticed that when editing a compressed file in vim (e.g. vim foo.gz), the implicit decompression step is entered into the undo log. You can hit u right after file load and get the compressed binary data.
Huh.

@GossiTheDog Oh that won’t do it. I used to have recurring nightmares of armed gangs hunting me. Now? #vi
Always coming back. Never tiring. Never dying.
Bit like that guy from the #Sisu film actually. I’m guessing that’s where the #Finnish swear word ‘vittu’ comes from. A vi that opened from a teletype. It would just sit there, undead, following you, patiently, until your last breath.
Right, am I the only one who wants to main #Bim instead of #Vim or #NeoVim despite it being archived since 2024 and not changed in #ToaruOS since 2023?

@elpuntavui em comprometo a augmentar el meu consum de #vi #català en un 200% mentre durin els aranzels i m'aguant-hi d'empeus.
Ara mateix vaig a comprar-ne un altre #porró per si de cas.
I have a local buddy headed to Japan for two weeks. I have a #Fuji #x100F sitting on the shelf so I sent it with him. It is easily my favorite camera platform, Without a second thought.
I would have loved to have sent him with a #VI (there were just SO many great improvements) but it's my daily driver. I'm really excited to see what he comes back with.
