Vi or Vim
  • Vi is a very old piece of software. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't even have syntax highlighting. Vim is "vi improved" and supports all kinds of stuff, including extensions. Neovim is vim that uses Lua as an extension language, instead of vimscript. That allows for easier creation of powerful extensions.

    Nano is a simpler text editor that is not as "powerful" as the vim family. Emacs is a state of mind.

    In general, all of these are good tools and get the job done.

  • Why don't you...
  • I agree that just watching a random sport or 2 random teams can be boring. It becomes interesting when you feel a connection to the team or athlete. If you go and watch live, it also becomes a community thing.

    Personally, I used to train football (soccer) in my local team in a small town and everyone basically knew all the players.

    Football becomes more interesting when you throw a beer can at a player, who also works at a pizzeria, and he takes a sip and throws it back.

  • Windows vs Linux
  • ProtonDB only lists Steam games

  • I'm enjoying Plasma 6
  • I am pretty sure Plasma 5 didn't have it by default. There might have been a 3rd-party extension, though.

  • Philosophy
  • And so on and so on...

  • They will never learn
  • Judging by the lack of a comma, the father's name might be Jews Christian.

  • The good old days
  • A relatively small city in Bulgaria. The situation might have been different in larger cities.

  • The good old days
  • I am 18 and have owned 2 such phones. Where I grew up, it was kind of a luxury to own a smartphone in the early 2010s, so I've never really thought of these as some kind of ancient technology.

  • Rule for Beginners
  • It's a workout for your CPU. It will make it grow big and strong.

  • I have played several games in my Steam library for more hours than it takes to become a police officer.
  • That's what I did with Far Cry 3, but couldn't get the stupid launcher to work on linux, so ended up pirating it again.Great work Ubisoft!

  • Former RT Host Anton Krasovsky Poisoned, Ukrainian Intel Says
  • In 2013, he came out as gay, criticized an "Anti-homosexual propaganda" law and wrote an article for The Guardian, denouncing homophobia in Russia. In the last few years, he has supported laws banning LGBT propaganda and has had to apologize numerous times for sayng things that are so unhinged, that even the Russian media has called them "disgusting". Anyone interested can take a look at the "2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine" section of his Wikipedia page. It contains gems, such as " drown the children" and "final solution"

  • Selecting the New Face of openSUSE is Underway
  • I am a bit late but this is the description: Represents the redesign of the SUSE logo to combine it with Colombian styles from the 70s and 80s

  • Russian anti-war TV protest journalist given 8+ years in prison
  • I've been lucky enough to visit other Slavic countries like Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. After realizing that we are in the same shithole, I can't not sympathize with my brothers.

    The more I think about it, the more I wonder why so many of us look at the world from some primal lense. Everything must to be turned into an "us vs them"

    In the case of Bulgaria, we have been slaves for 700 out of the 1300 years we've been around. The fact that we are still here and call ourselves "bulgarians" is, in my opinion, miraculous. I guess it is in part, thanks to this self-preservation mechanism.

  • Russian anti-war TV protest journalist given 8+ years in prison
  • Very good question. I am from Bulgaria and here the amount of putinophiles is mind-boggling. Some people say that they are our Slavic "brothers", so we must help each other out. Others say that they keep traditional/orthodox values alive (i fucking hate that one). Many say that we should be thankful that they liberated us 150 years ago (although it was not from the kindness of their hearts).

  • What do you think about Lemmy, so far?
  • For now, I find it kind of boring. On reddit, I used to spend more time in comment sections than regularly scrolling. Now I don't really do that, because there are either no comments or the comments are the same.

    When I started using lemmy with the default sorting option ('active' i think?), I would see the same posts for days, now I use top 6 hours and that problem is fixed, but lemmy now feels like a news site with comments. Also I am European, but it feels like 50% of content is some local American politics. I don't care about my own town's politics, so I don't care about that guy from Minnesota either.

    A post from asklemmy hasn't shown up in my feed in a long time and I kind of forgot it existed, but looking into it, looks like one of the only interesting places here, so I guess, I have visit it more often.
