Will do, thanks

Brilliant, thank you!

Brilliant, thank you

Will check it out, thanks

Thanks, subscribed to both of 'em now

Thanks for the reassurance that it exists. I can sleep well now

Yeah, but gterminal or konsole?

edit: apparently people didn’t realise this was a really obvious joke

Oh sorry, my current car is a Honda and I misremembered

It was a 1 litre 4 cylinder V-Tec Toyota engine, I presume it had four cylinder heads but I will admit I’m not 100% sure now… Damn good first car though. Would definitely recommend it

My first car was a 2001 Yaris. Lovely car until the timing chain broke and destroyed all four cylinder heads at once!

Bit tired (had to get up too early today) but otherwise okay, thanks. How’s your face? Blended to a fine paste yet?

No, no, and also no. Try again? Or cram your face into a blender? Either is good with me

That would indeed be great but completely unrelated to what I said so I suspect you may have answered the wrong person

Oh you’re a luddite, you’re also a hater and about as intractable and strupid as a trump supporter. You can be many crappy things at once!

Hopefully this means the haters will shut up and we can get on with using it for useful stuff

It’s more powerful than nano, sure, but it’s also needlessly more complex a ui. Your use case is legit and that you know vi is a reason to continue using it, but it absolutely should not ever be the default for anything any more!

If I am forced to use an editor in the terminal, nano generally. But I very rarely need to because I have a functioning modern computer from within the last 25 years and therefore have a gui I can rely on. If I somehow manage to break the gui in a way that requires me to edit a text file (itself very very rare) I can fix it with nano.

Now, why would you voluntarily use an editor with a ui that’s needlessly confusing and convoluted, an arse to learn, and notoriously difficult to even save a file and close without checking help files if you haven’t already memorised completely random key combinations? I would say we’d love to know, but we already do. It’s because you’re an arrogant dickwad - at least that’s what your last comment makes you look like

Literally anything up to and including poking yourself in the eyes and trying to develop laser vision to manually modify bits on the disk platter

Because you’re used to it. No other reason
