Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Can emacs really do all of this?

    [–] OpenStars@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Probably... so long as Emacs can be used to open up Vim. :-P

    [–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

    Lmao y'all are degenerates.

    It probably can somehow

    Theres an emacs map plugin, and a webkit browser, and org mode is basically notes + calendar, you can edit and copy remote files with tramp mode. Theres also an emacs plugin for launching steam games.

    Emacs comes with a plugin called "doctor" which is a rudimentary text ai from the 90s

    One time I wanted to edit a binary file and I found out emacs comes with a hex editor

    Man y'all really are trying to get me to try emacs.

    [–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word's definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email ... I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole "emacs is a great operating system" joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I'm worried I'm going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions ("do one thing and do it well"), but it's been a fun experiment so far

    [–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

    Huh.

    Well godamnit. I gotta check it out now. I'll be right back, I swear
