Seeing microsd cards left out in the open around an animal gives me anxiety. You might accidentally install linux on your cat.

That's a good thing :3

He’s trying to cover up your shameful use of Nano

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Vim is hard to use. Would it be worth it to learn it?

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I don’t find it difficult, but I’m mostly joking. If Nano works for you, stick with that. I’m sure your cat will learn to accept and love you regardless 😉

The only real benefit of vim IIRC is that it's always included in an installation. The other text editors may need to be separately downloaded/installed on new or unfamiliar systems.

Like the other user said, if nano works for you, keep it. If you ever are forced to use vim however, a cheatsheet like this one should make it doable. (And yes, hitting esc a couple times before entering any command is a common practice to make sure you exited a mode)

But if you type the other command too fast after hitting Esc, it might be treated as Alt and do the wrong thing completely.

He's telling you its time to switch from Nano to Vim, and stop using your cursor so much.

I've heard people have strong beliefs about text editors but this is ridiculous!

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 4 points 1 year ago

Vim is quite hard to use @-@. I would have to learn using it and that is not easy. So far I'm satisfied with using VS code and nano.

Ah. Fellow KDE Plasma user. Always good to see.

Ah, the old game of cat and mouse

I know there's some kind of joke here about cats and computer mice... there has to be.

Off topic: Are there monitors with gorilla glass that can resist a cat scratch?

Like... is there such a thing? Curious...

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

You could probably put a sheet of glass in front of your monitor... Haven't seen any glass monitors I believe.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Capacitive touch monitors would be close, but they tend to be expensive and just ust regular glass. (still could resist a cat scratch as long as there isn't any grit/sand stuck in the claws)
