Ah sorry, I meant using Vim in a GUI program. I wanted something with the flexibility of a mouse (quick navigation, context menu actions, etc.) without using a mouse. Using just the arrow keys, shift highlighting, etc. is just too slow when writing lots of text, and it doesn't follow the natural position of typing.

I dunno, I feel like anyone drawn to Lemmy for that reason will find lemmy.ml nearly as easily. If world suffers because of bad practices, well, that's the way it goes. At least the fediverse lives on.

I mean, "bad" in this case is completely subjective. There are large trans communities on other instances (blahaj being the most obvious one) and they have their reasons for defederating from Hexbear.

Meh, that's kind of the point, no? Seems like it would be more jarring to only federate at the community level, as you either a) still have to interact with people from the unwanted instance or b) deal with randomly hidden comments from that instance. If the community dies because it's on an unpopular instance, well, that's the way it goes. Can always start up/join a community on another instance that's federated with yours.

I actually use VIM bindings in PyCharm, slightly cursed but actually works really well and meshes fairly nicely with the other IDE shortcuts. Being able to use it in any terminal is a nice bonus.

I honestly learned it just because I hated having to change hand position to use a mouse.

Oh wow, haven't watched Beer and Board Games in a while!

Yeah, if someone at the table wants certain attributes for their character, the DM should not allow others to mess with that without very good reason. This guy being a dick about it? He can find another table.

I avoided it for a while because it felt so clunky, but it has really improved in the last decade.

Lol as if these generations are doing anything different than they were doing before. Kids have always lied about their age to do adult things. Not saying it's healthy, just like it wasn't healthy for kids to get their older brother to buy cigs, but it's not a unique problem and these generations are far from a "lost cause".

As unenforcable as they've always been, and honestly I prefer it that way. Really don't want to give my ID to random websites.

It's insane to me that they would try to pull this shit and then try to sell us on the evils of piracy.
