Ask not how worthy an idol Linux is, but what you can do to give back to free software.

In a universe of enshitification, Linux is one of the few things that consistently gets better.

Try telling that to someone who had a spinning cube desktop on their 386 or 486.

since that was 10 hours ago, i presume you’ve already searched to discern tui means terminal user interface, … if that’s what your query was about.

mcedit came before your “MCEdit”.

same as bedrock linux came before bedrock version of minecraft for linux.

minecraft ((at least) twice) further confounded searches for the already obscure foss tools.

mc = midnight commander.

mcedit = midnight commander’s inbuilt text editor.

I often revisit the notion of making a linux distro with scant more than just mc (& mcedit).

Does kate have a tui mode?

… I may have to revisit it again, if it’s viable to use when simply ssh’d into another computer.

Hah. The text editor I wrote has that covered.

… ignore the bugs.

there’s an emacs mode for that

First time I tried to buy weed, I was sold mixed herbs, by the french exchange student. Cheeky git. I’m still pleased with my effort, as a 13 year old. First opportunity, taken. Pity it was bunk. Good lesson, learned early.

The groceries that come out of the plastic shopping bag?

They’re the family of the plastic shopping bag?

So when we’re in the shop, filling the bag, are we impregnating the bag, and the pregnancy lasts for the duration of the journey home, and a typical healthy birth involves removing the groceries from the bag, and putting them in the cupboard and fridge and freezer and fruit-bowl etc.

Then sometimes there’s a more difficult pregnancy and labour… like whatever’s going on there… up tree branches!? And still there are a family of groceries in there?

… I think I should stop over-thinking this.

It is an eccentric view, to entertain the invertedness of the mushroom, compared to e.g. mammals. The brain, and the digestive system is inside out! So it’s like we are all inside the mushroom’s digestive system. And inside it’s brain.

So instead of being left alone to survive a while, I’ll have cluster B personality types seeking to use me up as fast as possible?

I think I’d rather be treated like a bag of cheap weed, thnx.

I think you have the skill to take this further, and make it interactive, clickable, explorable, even wiki’fied (or at least git’ified) to allow others to contribute too.

I noticed some were missing.

• BedrockLinux
• CRUX
• SLAX
• Tin Hat
• Hannah Montana
• KISS
• Carbs
• Exherbo
• … Okay, I’ll not exhaust this list with dozens more. ;)

Well done for including as many as did already. Was joyous seeing Slitaz made the lislt. :) A fave of the small distros.

Which text editor do you use?

• Emacs mostly
• sometimes fin for configs and some other small file tweaks and when developing/testing fin,
• sometimes mcedit just because it’s an awesome under sung hero of easy tui text editors. … beats nano imo.
• sometimes leafpad, like when i need some intermediary between things that are being stubborn to paste between
• rare neovim, like when i’m trying to learn neovim, or trying something that only neovim has
• rare nano… there are probably still times…
• once kate to see what it was like, I liked it, then I added the features I liked to emacs.

It’s worse than the picture depicts. It’s not just the lovers, the elitists and the evangelists, it’s the sheer range of choice too, beyond the loudest.

Oh. I didn’t even notice the Dr Pepper. … Also… I did not know there was any correlation between Dr Pepper and gentoo. I stopped my Dr Pepper addiction 5 years before I used gentoo. … I was on 4L a day for months, and didn’t realise I had a problem until I drank 9L in 24hr.

+1 for “-1 for non Lenovo machine”. [… unless it’s like tuxedo or system76 or something like that or some pure custom job on a different architecture]

Removes [your first step to be able to remedy a problem] your awareness of what’s going on around you in the real world. [Many people feel very unnerved by it because of this aspect.]

… I was going to share a link here to whatever first video I found of any of the many videos of thieves sneaking into people’s homes while they’re oblivious on VR, but someone has created a VR game called thief sneak, where the wearer of VR can play a thief sneaking into people’s homes, making it too hard to find the videos of that really happening. The potential for irony now, seems obvious…

Anyhoo, beyond that flooding-the-zone, plenty else goes wrong, born of that aspect, and more. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=VR+fails

I wonder if it’s more like VR.

People don’t like losing control over their technology in reality.

People want to retain control over their technology, like it’s a tool.

Virtual reality removes awareness and agency in the real world.

Same as agents do.

and whatever it was before the cia

You feel like a dead murderer? ?

… How did you feel the prior 24 times?

What shall you feel like each of the =>26 times?
