Vim absolutely chews through anything you throw at it. Lots of times we need data formated or lots of SQL queries and I’m the go to guy because I understand vim macros.

Especially if you have any form of RSI.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a user accessable way to expose similar power to the common user.

Those features aren’t enabled nor integrated. They’re added to Vim at its extensibility points.

And that has to be just about one of the pettiest to distinctions known to man.

It’s still built to write code. Yes text is code, but vim is not a text editor in general,. It’s made for programmers, nobody else is crazy enough to learn such obtuse syntax or want to have a developer with a scripting language built into it.

The features are in the editor. They are integrated with the editor. Yes, it’s through plugins, but they’re still part of the editor instead of part of some different program.

The word integrated literally just means you don’t go into some other program to run your build.

It’s an integrated environment for development.

It’s an IDE!

It has debuggers.

It has syntax highlighting

It has compiling.

Even if you have to install them as plugins, it’s designed to be doing all of those things.

Vim isn’t designed to facilitate the use of vimscript, vimscript is just an extensibility feature of Vim.

Vim is designed to edit code, by the people who were doing it back in the 70s and all of its features are there to enable better, faster, and more efficient editing.

It has scripts for the sake of those scripts enabling integrated developer features. Because they’re part of vim they’re in the environment and the program is used predominantly for development.

In that case every IDE is “just a text editor” because basically every IDE is built around modularity in this same way. This is just nitpicking over what is preinstalled.

“You see here my car has positions for all the parts of a boat so it’s easily made into a boat and it’s already waterproof but it’s just a normal car”

You’re not a normal text editor if you have a built in scripting language.

Not really, or that doesn’t feel right to my. Word and notepad basically still do the same thing except for that word lets you add style.

Like a manual vs an automatic car, maybe?

It literally has a built in scripting language.

Vim really is an IDE, not a text editor. It’s usable as an editor but overkill.

Nano serves a difference purpose. It’s like telling someone on a bike that a mustang is better.

Why would you move to a red hat product?

I have used smartphones with half the processing power of 778, and they all work fine.

And that’s fine, but I don’t want the chip from 5 years ago, I want to chip with modern performance that can do any modern task you can throw at it like driving a high refreshed screen when playing random video games.

I’m not, that’s my point

Shit cpu

a Motorola

Chinese brand is a no go

99 percent of phones can’t be unlocked nowadays

And an unlockable bootloader.

Decent CPU and RAM.

High rate screen

Unlockable bootloader

SD card

Removable battery.

Such a phone would be an instant buy for me, but nobody wants to make them

Build a proper router with PF sense. I can do everything that pie hole can do, and more, and you get to have fully custom eternally upgradable router software in general that you can use to do things like network scanning and all sorts of other fun stuff.

I briefly used the raspberry pi for that purpose, but honestly I’m much happier having built a full router.

Proud to be one of them. I tried to disable the job that runs windows update, they said I don’t have permission, so I switched to Ubuntu on every single computer except the one that runs VR games.

As a bonus, as an enthusiast for artificial intelligence stuff, more programs run on Linux than they do on Windows

The problem is that when you compress before you encrypt, the file size becomes a source of data about the contents. If an attacker has control of part of the data - say - a query string, they can use that to repeatedly add things to your data and see how the size changes as a result.

If all you do is take without contributing you’re literally worthless to the platform any every other system you join. Your life will be a series of jumping to the next free platform that eventually crumbles to nothing.

Don’t want ads? Pay for premium. Want no ads and no payment? Why should anyone worry about your views? Your existence and use of a product then is a liability and not an asset

We’ve been spoiled hard by free money in the tech space. It’s going to bite and there won’t be a place to run eventually except community spaces like this that will never quite be sustainable long term.
