Defaulting to nano without consent
This is the real crime
Okay. Proceed to set up ‘ed’ as default
I’m okay with that
My boy nano getting a drive by. He always there for me when I need to quickly edit a conf file
I was laughing out loud until I read the part on VS Code or Google Docs to “avoid ideological tensions”.
Clearly Herve Beraud is a closed source advocate, total rage bait! /s
LOL, I prefer nano.
You’re in luck, it’s a designated neutral editor
Hello, EU police?
You pervert!
There’s always a smaller editor: pico
Vim has long since won the war. I say that as an emacs user who is familiar with using vim because it’s installed by default on the vast majority of computers I interact with nowadays
ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR
You don’t need ed, emacs can emulate it.
nano for lyfe! what’s the fine for a “class c user experience violation”?
Banishment to Windows.
That’s torture and a human rights violation!
eww, ok, I’ll switch to vim
You can still use nano. Just don’t make it the default for your distro or you’ll lose your Linux license.
ok, officer. thank you, officer. Am I free to go?
If you can figure out how to exit, sure
<esc>:wq!
Off you go, have a nanice day!
steals your escape key
Now, try to exit vim.
I don’t use Arch btw.
Time to burn Europe. This injustice will not stand.
Awesome. And now…
- Step 2: Tabs or spaces.
More: Tabs or buffers.
Vertical or horizontal tabs?
Slazer here opening a new front in the tabs v space war
New?
This “neutrality” is like giving equal voice to doctors and tobacco companies. They need to take the initiative for public health and declare the correct, ergonomic editor as international standard.
It’s like giving equal voice to NASA, and to Barry who thinks the sky is a carpet painted by a god.
“This whole International Space Station idea is patently ridiculous, what’re they gonna do, hang it from the carpet?”
(with apologies to Dara O Briain)
Yes, but only if it’s the editor I use /s
Of course. Why would you use the wrong editor?
Ed is the standard and only option.
EDITOR=shredtoo if you’re brave or having a rough day.Remember to put
#!/bin/rmat the top of every file, to teach people not to execute files they shouldn’t.
No mention of ms edit? I feel this won’t last.
Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation
One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.
I’m glad a peace was found, but go vim!
