AFAIK it started as a Discworld thing but has been adopted by Wiccans IRL

That’d be an editor thing rather than a language thing, I would have thought. It’s probably configurable in some

How do you… Oh sorry

But yeah that sounds unpleasant

You can set those things to be visible in many editors. Its ugly tho

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

Okay… because you refuse to actually look at whether there are better options than the absolute trash you are using because you are used to it

Because you want to get out of your Stockholm syndrome?

Ugh, I swear vi and it’s derivatives are the absolute worse text editors going. There may have been reasons thirty or forty years ago, but now it’s just complexity and a weird ui for the sake of it

Coroner??? As in the person who notes that people are dead??? That’s an elected position? What? Why? How can that even possibly be political? “This person has gone red but they should have gone blue instead. Make them get back up and start walking around until they do dying right!”; “Cause of death: Being a gorram <insult of choice>!”; “You’re not allowed to die, we’ve had too many deaths this week and I won’t get elected again if you do. Stop pretending to be cold and stiff!”. What?

Well he tried but he failed, so…

No other evidence except for pictures, videos, flight logs, statements…

I’ll have to go to Sainsburys and see if I can grab some of one of those two then. And you’re the second (third?) person to mention Guineess 0,0 so I’ll give that a go too - stout isn’t my favoruite but it’s far from the worst

I’ll take another look then. Thanks.

I tend to find nonalcoholic beers taste a bit… thin. I tend to go for a bitter (I’m British, there’s a load of really good traditional regional bitters about) rather than an IPA or wheatbeer, or anything else. Do you find that and just don’t mind or am I just drinking the wrong things?

(I’m not tee total, I just don’t drink much cos I’m usually driving)

Why did you go off on one about gender at all? It had nothing to do with anything and yet you filled your comment with transphobic dogwhistles. Of all the things you could have chosen you chose that?

the VP could literally be a trashcan

We tried that in the UK. He didn’t get elected, sadly

I am impressed that you were asked about bias and could have gone with anything and decided the best thing to do was out yourself as a transphobe with dogwhistles. Why did you do that?
