  • i’ve been considering trying to start using vim recently, but now i don’t know really, are they too different to learn to use? i’d love to spend time on something i’ll end up using for years hopefully

    edit: i received a mod report from this post, i just now found out it’s a 3 year old post, sorry




  • i dont disagree, but if you don’t mention stuff like threat model to n00bs they end up thinking they need to only communicate telepathically in order to not get spied on. every attack is possible, just not for every threat model, for example a very sophisticated js attack wouldnt be used on the wild, but more likely targetted on a specific individual because once it’s known it’s fixed and you can’t use it. it’s worthy so you use it on a worthy individual.

    bro, vlc is still the same player visually from 10 years ago, you touched some configs. yes, it’s so good you can also do crazy shit with it if you want to. the always on top feature is completely unrelated to vlc, that’s handled by the de you’re using.


  • well, here on lemmy for example when it comes to moderation we try to not follow the western narrative/norm when it comes to certain topics. i ban people constantly for expressing views that express normalized support for us imperialism, whereas in reddit you’d get that force-fed into your cerebellum even if you dont want to, in every community, all the time. generally this isn’t so much an infrastructure issue, although it is, since us owned platforms push their view, they become mainstraim and the norm, and that way the Western Way is now the default. but rather how you engage as a community.
