    @neil That sounds like the linguistic distinction between using much free software and using free software much.

      @neil

      What about email?

      I use Mutt, with vim as the editor.

          Neil: There's a wealth of amazing Free software out there! I use loads of it.

          Them: What do you use to write documents?

          Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (typst + pandoc)

          Them: What about presentations?

          Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (revealjs)

          Them: Your website? Blog?

          Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (mkdocs / bssg)

          Them: So what about keeping notes?

          Me: Oddly enough, I use vim. I write in Markdown... (vimwiki)

                    @freshstart I do use Gnu IMP, but unsurprisingly I don't refer to it by the offensive ableist name 🙂

                      @neil I'm glad I'm not the only one. My VS Code-wielding brothers-in-LLM are looking funny at me when I compile and debug binaries in vim 😛

                                  @roadskater Markdown has only been around for 22ish years, so give it some time to settle down, I guess. No point rushing to adopt such things.

                                    Them: So what about keeping notes?

                                    Me: Oddly enough, I use vim. I write in Markdown... (vimwiki)

                                      @neil Seen on a bumper sticker recently:

                                      :w! saves

                                      I was driving, so couldn't get a photo ...

                                        @neil Every time I've tried to install pandoc I've got into some sort of dependency hell. I'm writing a book, so I guess it will soon be time to try again.
