    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)

        @neil Maybe the real free software was the editors we made along the way?

            @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 yeah, but the rest of the world is slowly catching up these days. by slowly discovering that code is a liability

                            @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 😛

                                  @neil Well, obviously the more superior way would be to use emacs

                                    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)

                                          @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.
