Not anymore…

@petrescatraian@libranet.de Yes, one of these months surely it will come… eventually:-).

Absolutely. Plus the keyboard shortcuts are just outstanding - e.g. shift-M takes you to the middle of the screen - and you can even programmatically do things like make changes to every other line within the range 100-1000 but nowhere else, and even then restrict the changes to only those matching a pattern.

And it is installed on most every machine in the world - even Windows is putting bash onto things these days (I forget if that is still optional, admittedly I haven’t touched Windows in nearly a decade:-P) - and has been since virtually the dawn of computing, certainly long before the modern age. :-D I’ve used ssh on a fucking blackberry and edited files with vim before smartphones existed!

It is, however, notably hard to learn to use, I grant that:-).

I see nothing wrong with that plan.:-)

Damn, the last one might be the one!? :-P

Whenever I see this one, I cannot help but think of my favorite gif, which is not even a meme:

Okay but… obligatory “gVim offers the best of both worlds by offering use of a mouse if you want it”. There are also native ports for Mac OSX and Windows, etc.

Vim, in contrast, is a command-line program, suited for e.g. working with a text file on a remote server that may not even be running an X-windows interface, or maybe the user simply did not bother to connect to it:-).

Okay, we may now proceed with the humorous jesting:-).

Oh wow yeah, I did not think about it but… perhaps this meme was too hopefully optimistic even?! Wow. :-|

Well hacqtually most Reddit mod hats seem to have a smaller brim, like so:

So this person might just be in a disguise of some sort! 😜

Maybe in the future, these memes might start to mean that it’s safe to go outside in such heat (reduced from the northern summertime)!

Live with their parents. It’s doable to “survive”, it’s just that someone cannot “thrive”, i.e. live the American Dream, or have health insurance, thus getting back to your point about survival, although that’s generally considered a separate thing than income, bc e.g. someone could be on their spouse’s health plan.

And then there are all sorts of tricks to go below minimum wage too… including having more black people locked up and working in for-profit prisons than were ever used as slaves; or Waffle House’s trick where someone only gets a base wage of like $3.25 an hour and then while the minimum $7.25 per hour is guaranteed, in order to get more than that they have to make up the difference with tips (on what is <$10 meals).

But how do you help people when (a) things like the electoral college and gerrymandering exist, (b) preachers say from the actual, literal pulpit that God commands to vote Republican, and (c) those areas vote conservative not only for themselves but also apply that to the nation at large, e.g. keeping Mitch McConnell in power, and making abortion illegal in those states.

TLDR: it’s how they choose to live. And they might be about to fight an actual civil war to extend those “rights” further.

This post does not present the requisite context, which is that this community is a bit special in comparison to others. Read the sidebar text where it explains more how the mod wants people to use it differently. On Reddit there were some others like that, e.g. CMV, and had different-styled icons to help people realize that - before the days where people just expected every single sub to function identically so that they could bother not reading the sub rules before posting or commenting in it.

e.g.:

Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.

I suppose it depends on how bad it is. e.g. if it’s a community for “videos”, and someone submits one with unmoving text that is basically an audio file, you could downvote it then for not matching.

Some software - like PieFed and some Lemmy apps - have automated features that rely less on human moderator intervention and more community feedback, to either auto-collapse or even auto-hide replies with downvotes below user-set thresholds. You can ofc disable these, but if you want them… they are there for you. Also they are immediate, as opposed to waiting until a mod wakes up and finds time to render a decision on everything reported since the last time they checked in.

I believe so, though I cannot find great examples to prove it. e.g. !memes@reddthat.com exists but is empty. Then again, I saw similar occurrences with my old instance, Discuss.Online, when nobody had yet joined !justpost@lemmy.world. So I joined it, waited a day or two, and then all the posts showed up - this is the way that communities used to have be federated, before Blaze went around to virtually every instance and joined almost literally every community to make it already happen for people:-). Anyway, Blaze seems to not have done that for PieFed yet, so I will do it myself.:-)

PieFed allows you to block entire instances. All of the users, all of their posts, everything.

Otherwise as people have suggested, it is just dubvee.org or Lemmy.cafe.
