Nano! Nano!

Nano, please

Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Nano, Vim, KWrite, Libreoffice for all I care ๐Ÿ˜… They all get the job done with identical results.

Libreoffice does something weird to files. Not sure what it is, but I had to use it to fix my bash config at one point and then every time I launched my terminal after that I would get a "command not found:" line with no command, but the terminal still worked so I never bothered to figure it out lol

Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It probably added some metadata that gets interpreted as a command at launch but obviously fails to do anything. You need to configure how files are saved in order to prevent that.

JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, that was my guess too. I never got around to looking into it properly before I ended up having to wipe it for sale anyways

Nano here, maybe only because it's too easy to type in console for me..

I'm a beast, baby!

i also use a magnetized needle and a steady hand btw (thank god i use hdd and not ssd)

Terrified_Lone_Fox@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Huh? What are those?

dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y

hdd = hard disk drive (which is magnetic storage)

ssd = solid state drive (which isnt magnetic storage)

and the needle thing is a xkcd reference

Terrified_Lone_Fox@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Oh, hand of the hdd, I guess. But still don't understand what that has to do with vim. Sorry for being dense lol.

Used for what?

dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y

coding duh

Vim. I used to use emacs in the mid-90s, but I just found that vi was more universally supported. At this point, I am too old and stubborn to learn anything else. I am really efficient in vim.

dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

thats the exact same reason why i insist on doing things locally even if people nag me to use a webapp that does the same thing as the program. specifically, powerpoint/impress and canva (which is web-based). powerpoint if im on windows, impress if im on linux, and powerpoint has to be specifically the 2007 version.

collapse_already@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

My coworkers, especially the younger ones, are surprised when they watch me work in vi. Lots of "how did you do that so fast?"

dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 1y

thats my clasmates whenever i pull out either linux (not even bash) or cmd
