When I was programming around 1990, we used VI, not VIM, and there was this rivalry with the emacs people. It was like one of those "Windows vs Mac", "iOS vs Android" things but with UNIX text editors. Glad to see, 30+ years later, VI(M) people and emacs people are able to reconcile their differences :)
Now I feel bad to have moved to other editors over the years, nowadays VSCode :P
You can do 3D modeling with OpenSCAD, which uses plaintext files as source code for 3D models. So yes, you can edit these .scad files with vim. If you then want to compile and preview your model, you can just open the official OpenSCAD editor and close the text pane. It'll automatically watch the file you're editing for changes, compile it, and give you a preview of the model that you can rotate and move around.
The other software mentioned in the last panel is cadquery. It's a Python library for creating 3d models. But it's much slower and buggier than OpenSCAD, and, in my opinion, less intuitive.
Yes it kinda sucks that they're closed source, but it's just so neat and works so well across devices. And the community plugins makes it super versitale.
What lets me sleep at night is that even if something ever happened to the company behind it, the AppImages aren't going away and all my files are plaintext I can read with whatever I please. I'm also not relieant on their sync service so nothing would change for me despite not getting updates.
I absolutely love vim. It pairs well if you know a variety of other shell style tooling. BUT I also think that's it's biggest weakness. Not everyone want to learn an entire system of really nitpicky specific tools just feel confident when they print hello world
Wtf is there a reddit like banner at the bottom? Is this really a thing we gonna do? There is barely such thing as orginal content these days. when it comes to memes and "ownership" it is a ridiculous concept Considering there is nothing to "profit" off of. Karma on Reddit was meaningless and it doesn't even exist here.
And the last point that is maybe valid is it brings attention to the specific community and lemmy. But i can promise you ppl will be more interested organically than they ever will be by an eyesore of a banner. Shit just linking to the original post is better for getting someone to the site and potentially getting them to sign up.
And the banner just straight up on the post. Shit is stupid and i hope i dont see it more places on lemmy.
If you see someone using a completely generic insult and your brain immediately goes to "yeah, they must be attacking differently-abled people", then I'm pretty sure that makes you the ableist one?
You don't have to be insulting a disabled person with an ableist slur to be ableist. Just like if you call everyone of every race the n-word, you're still a racist.
How to use vim in 2 simple steps:
1- Pretend to use vim
2- Use nano like a normal person
ESC ESC ESC :q
Am I a bad person for using Visual Studio Code?
You are just normal and sane
I upvoted because yes, you are bad and you should feel bad.
You obviously didn't get the memo that you are supposed to only work in a text shell.
I tried nano, but none of the standard key combination would let me save or quit.
you can always edit /etc/nanorc if you don't like the stock keyboard shortcuts
Like, with vim?
That's why it's so nice that nano helpfully displays the keyboard shortcuts on the screen.
No indeed they wouldn't, but it's still not as bad as vim.
Or Micro, if you're a filthy casual like me
Jesus, how much more basic can you really get than nano?
Ed or just sed
Micro?
Who cares about labels, Micro is the bomb
Nano is life.
I know how to use Vim, but then I switched to Colemak, and now I don't know how to use Vim.
Transcription:
[you go to jail meme template]
Panel 1: You want to write a program? Use vim.
Panel 2: [logos of matplotlib, pandas, and R] Need to process scientific data? Also vim.
Panel 3: [LaTeX logo] Writing a report about that data? Vim.
Panel 4: [OpenSCAD, CadQuery logos] 3D modeling? Believe it or not, straight to vim.
I did a few transcriptions over at the other place, appreciate the effort on this one.
and when something isn't available in vim, just use the built-in terminal to access it
"What are you trying to tell me? What I can quit vim?"
"No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to."
Was this image coded in vim pixel by pixel? If not, I’m disappointed.
Imo Thats more of an emacs stereotype.
I mean, there is a openSCAD preview plugin https://github.com/zk-phi/scad-preview
As an Emacs user, I support this meme.

Bold of you to assume that the VIM emacs wars have ended
Both sides of the debate: WE Will win this fight! ... Eventually.
One hundred years later.....
I ask interviewees what they use as a text editor. If they answer emacs, job interview over.
I enjoyed this meme.
Funnily enough, I have had the same experience recently, but with VSCode
I dunno, sed, awk and echo do just fine without layering on the bloat with Vim
Real people only use

🤓 ed is the original editor
Based meme :wq

"Doing your mum?"
"That's me with vim."
Vscode is the way to go. I know how to use vim, I just find it a hassle. Been using Linux for over 20 years by now, man, time flies...
guess what, VS Code has a vim mode
I prefer to stay away from torture.
That's what I though, but a few weeks in I also switched Obsidian to vim mode and I'm loving it
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, there are groups you can go to and talk about it with others.
Jk I'm glad you're enjoying yourself haha
If obsidian was open source...

It's not bad but I always find a few things that don't work how I want to with vim mode.

You joke, but this is how the typing system of BASH works
Also, upvote for Nanachi 🐰
Bashing the kernel with some strings pratically
Also, thanks for giving the fluffy bun doll updoots, have some from me too
"Keeping a diary of your life? vim. Managing AI data? vim. Doing simple edits on programs? IDK, nano I guess."
I still haven't discovered an itch that R couldn't scratch.

It's a meme
The ableism is uncalled for, buddy
