essentially a terminal modal editor (like vim), but instead of specifying the action to perform then what to perform the action on (like "yank 3 lines"), in helix you select first, then perform actions on the selection (like "these 3 lines, i want them yanked"). it's slightly better (according to others) because you get to see what you're going to change in the file so you don't accidentally delete 5 lines instead of deleting 4.

on top of that many features are builtin, like tree-sitter and lsp support, so you don't have to spend 5 hours looking for cool plugins and configuring everything to get started (my config file is only 50 lines of toml).

the downside is that there isn't support for plugins (yet), but there's already things like a file picker, more than 100 themes etc.

is there not a single other person who uses helix?

for me its 1/10, i can see the orange but can barely tell what it is. unless i circled every orange dot there was no way i was gonna figure it out. i thought it was a diagram

there's a crux linux?

roughly translates to Linux operating system's core analysis

wasn't 19 june like 2 days ago? what happened?

yeah that makes sense. i was thinking maybe youtube had servers to decide what chunks clients would get, maybe by looking at whether or not they are premium users first. but anyway youtube still needs a way to differentiate between ad chunks and video chunks, otherwise we would just be able to skip 10 seconds through all the ads. surely that can be exploited somehow.

does this mean stuff like yt-dlp will download videos with ads in thrm as well?

huh, so i'm one of the first lemm.ee users (my cake day seems to be tomorrow, might be wrong because timezone stuff)

i remember back then wanting to join an instance but hearing lemmy.ml was overloaded and i should join lemmy.world instead. then over in the comments i saw you say that you made an instance and i decided to just join it. in hindsight i don't know why i expected some instance hosted by some random guy who made a short comment to last longer than 2 weeks but i'm super glad it did (it was extra stable too). well done hosting your instance and helping us all out.

google "session stealer". your partner probably clicked on the malicious link and provided hackers full access to the account. not sure if signing out of all devices helps, but do it anyway.

first of all i dont use instagram so i cannot guarantee what i have said. however i do have a fair bit of roblox experience and account stealing kinda happens all the time there.

the website sent out could steal session details. most sites have a "remember me" feature so that you dont have to login every time you visit it. the server does this by giving your computer a unique identifier after you log in, so now that identifier can be used instead of a username and password. the website could steal that identifier and thus impersonate you, without getting your username and password.

after doing this basically anything could happen, but most likely the account will be controlled by a bot to spread the ad further, eventually amassing some sort of botnet.

in theory stopping the bot from accessing your account could be as simple as logging out of all devices the moment you fall for it, but im not too sure what would happen if you do it any later than that.

i dont think a proxy actually exists. to pretend to be someone else you either make an account that has similar characteristics as the target or just steal the target's account directly. is it literally every one of the followers that are targeted, 100%, or is it just most of them? it could be some sort of website like what i said spreading through the network of followers.
