You are making prejudiced, generalized, assumptions and presenting them as facts.

You are at best naive if you think people use vim and a terminal instead of “better graphical alternatives” (which there are none of if you’ve really gotten into vim/emacs/whatever). And we don’t do it to seem hardcore (maybe we are, but that’s a side effect). Software in the terminal is often more simple to use, because it allows chaining together outputs and has often simpler user interfaces.

The second paragraph is word salad. Developers should name their shit properly regardless of editor and it’s quite simple to have a professional dev setup with ‘intellisense’ and auto complete in neovim. In fact, vim/neovim and I assume emacs too have much more features and flexibility of which users of IDEs or vscode wouldn’t so much as think of.

I assume your prejudice comes from the fact that vim is not a “one size fits all no configuration needed” integrated development environment (IDE) but rather enables the user to personalize it completely to their own wishes, a Personalized Development Environment. In that regard, using one of the “better graphical tools” is like a mass produced suit while vim is like a tailor made one.

Just let people use what they like. Diversity is a strength.

I agree with you. It’s a neat design idea to make things a bit more maintainable perhaps, but it’s just annoying to program with.

The something else is called kanji, and are very complicated characters stolen from China with many meanings and pronunciation. Learning Japanese is very 楽しい (it is really)

Rust is used more Ethan you think

I’m also German, and our beautiful language being compared to java feels like an insult to me.

Strength in diversity, I guess

Especially now that the border is being closed/controlled again.

There is no unlock origin for real life

Fron what I gather, visual studio is a horrible monolith that also contains C/C++/C++++ build stuff.

Peak editing with vim/neovim

Are you talking licenses or certificates? Because if certificates are not automated that’s not a problem with certificates but with administration.

At least we don’t have flying cars, that would be a nightmare

Yeah, I know, but I meant that that technically forces C on everyone.

It is. Do not worry

I mean aren’t they forcing everyone else to learn C/C++ otherwise? If we follow that logic, at least

I have a file with virtual storage for a Windows VM. It’s a malware lab.

1. Yeah I get it, it feels somewhat anonymous, but if you look, it’s really not. I use my usual Internet Pseudonym and if you search for it you can probably find my personal website quickly. As a German, I’ve had to put an impression there even. Reminds me, maybe using my Pseudonym everywhere is something I should avoid, but then again, I’ve grown attached to it. I follow ich_iel on here and also read comments there. It’s a small community and you just know the regulars after a while.

2. It’s not hard to use if you already know it, but I feel were forgetting the majority of the population that is absolutely not well versed in technology. I occasionally listen to a podcast that addresses the social media trends of the week, and in many episodes they addressed the fediverse once. And it was only mastodon for them, they didn’t even get the name right, and they didn’t really get federation too. I feel like it’s true that it’s not hard to use, but it seems like it’s still hard for the average person to get into the fediverse, presumingly caused by the network effect and the fact that corps can’t milk us dry and take all our data. The decentralized nature makes it hard to grasp for “normies”.

3. Yes I have great friends and love them very much. I don’t have a lot of English only friends. Someone in my family is married to a man from England, and I got to know a few of his friends, it was all great. True that even in the younger generation there are groups with low english skills, I feel like we’d need statistics on it to be sure.

I don’t we’re arguing or anything. Thanks for the conversation :)

I feel like having fax listed in a public institution is really not a great example of the general population, and especially not of the people that would use the fediverse. Besides that, just because you have a fax machine doesn’t mean you can’t be technical. My father has one and he knows his way about using tech stuff, for example.

Internet infrastructure is of course a decades old problem, but then again, you don’t need highspeed Internet to post on the fediverse.
