…jokes that everyone could understand.
I’m sorry, but most people have never heard of BSD, VIM, or emacs.
What who doesn’t use emacs? I’ll could send you my dotfiles…I just need to fix them.

I don’t get it. What are you saying? Really dumb it down for me.
I have to be honest I thought OP was being 100% serious until the last line.
That last line is why I shared it with others who have no idea what half the things it’s referencing are.
“Theres also a emacs plugin”
Truly heresy against the lord Linus Torvalds, Vim is the only correct option all else is unholy.
NeoVim says hi.
Well obviously neovim is also a correct option, does that really even need to be said?
My dad probably takes the cake as he used the OG VI back in the day.
Sonny, we wrote it Vi back in the day. Capital V, lower case i. Now get off my lawn! Isn’t it cold? Policemen look younger and younger every year.
eww vim vi better
Grrrr >:c
Bro. We use ed around here.
Surely you must love VS Codium even more.
Linus uses emacs. Not GNU emacs, but still emacs.
However claims him, loses.

Whaddaya mean, not gnu emacs? xemacs and lucid emacs are long gone, are they not??
It’s a weird archaic emacs version that is no longer maintained except by him, iirc
He uses MicroEMACS
No shit? I used to used that in the 16-bit days. It’s not really any kind of emacs, it just borrows keybindings and the buffer concept iirc.
nano/Kate >>>
Nano is for people posing at using Linux
You have to commit to a side in the war
Micro because mouse (jk I just use nano like a scrub because I’m used to it’s hotkeys)
Absolutely bloated (kate) and nano isnt vim therefore it sucks
Vim ain’t intuitive like nano so it sucks. Doesn’t have advanced tools like Kate so it sucks.
The concerns on using Mastodon and the likes is probably propaganda to dissuade people from using open source and defederated social media.
This is true because NetBSD runs on the actual Mastodon.
Well I do use Linux on various devices and on my Raspberry Pi, it’s just that my laptop is Windows. No, don’t throw rocks at me, I use WSL too.
Also, I’ve somehow yet to post on Mastodon from Emacs. The existence of such Emacs addon didn’t surprise me, because I’ve posted to identica and twitter from Emacs. You know, back in the day.
my laptop is Windows. No, don’t throw rocks at me, I use WSL too.
Rock throwing intensifies 😾
I don’t even need to throw rocks, Microsoft will drive you out trying to force you into letting copilot think for you.
This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.
My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.
This is most likely a joke akin to xkcd 2501
Linux community in a nutshell and also way too many developers
100 myths. Perfect.

Is that 4 in binary, then? I’m not in the know
Yes. We normally count in ‘base 10’, which means each digit can go from 0 to 9 as we count up, then the digit to its left increases by one. The rightmost position is the units, the next the tens (because we use base 10), the next hundreds (or 10 times 10), and so on, with each position worth 10 times the one to its right. So the number 12 means you have 2 units plus 1 ten. 123 means 3 units, 2 tens, and 1 hundred.
Binary is ‘base 2’, so as we count up each digit can only go from 0 to 1 before incrementing the position to its left, and each position is worth 2 times the one to its right. So 1 still means one, but 10 is 0 units plus 1 two, and 100 is 0 units, 0 tens and 1 four, totalling 4.
Yep, and it’s easily memorable because if you learn to count in binary on your fingers 4 is 🖕.
Ha, I missed that part. Subtle.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don’t.
And those who weren’t expecting a ternary joke.
Hm I may be getting wooshed, but this is still binary? 4 in ternary would be 11.
(all numbers in ternary) There are 10 types of people in this world:
1: Those who know binary
2: Those who don’t
10: Those who weren’t expecting a ternary joke
Hope that explains it!
Ah gotcha I thought you were going off the original post. Thanks!
What client is this
web?
zshtcpsys
Is that an actual name
I actually asked what the mastodon client in the picture was.

Hey! I know some of those words!

I stopped reading at 100
Does that mean you only read the first 11 myths?
What myths?
booo
Rare goat tier toot
Is the train okay?
I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don’t know how to quit it.
My brain is too smooth for modal environments. I require one mode or fewer.
Asking someone that doesn’t know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.
It’s my band name but all the members quit when I told them.
The joke is long dead, long live vim
escape colon que bang
That’s disgusting! Stop telling us about the bangs that escape your colon.
i went boom boom 😎
“What’s this machine do?”
“It is a dedicated word processor.”
“Ah sweet that’s some sick retro tech!”
“Haha yea…retro…”
I know you are not joking because it was only a week ago really good tech journalism site The Register did a walk through on making a dedicated Word 5.0 bootable USB

Now I understand what they use all those ThinkPads for
You can always close vim but you can never quit >:3
