it's really fucking annoying when the brainrot hits the maintainers of the tools you're using for more than 30 years.

it's really fucking annoying when the brainrot hits the maintainers of the tools you're using for more than 30 years.

[mawhrin@circumstances.run]

i mean, i'm not again twenty, i have better things to do then to retrain fucking decades of muscle memory, and with no guarantee that the authors of the next tool won't get hit by another type of brainrot five years from now

[mawhrin@circumstances.run]

yes, fucking vim and neovim maintainers, i'm looking at you and despair

[lyda@mastodon.ie]

@mawhrin What don't I want to know?

[mawhrin@circumstances.run]

@lyda that depends. do you want to know that the primary vim maintainer seems to have close enough personal relationship with claude-the-confabulation-machine (and war planner) to give it a male pronoun?

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@lyda @mawhrin the current vim maintainer is stressed out by the job and has gone full slop, whole bug comment chains that are two bots talking

looking forward to a future pinned to vim 9.0

[mawhrin@circumstances.run]

@lyda …both projects (vim and neovim) allow autoconfabulator-assisted contributions, and there's a number of conversations in vim issue tracker where it's clear everything is output of the autoplag pasted verbatim.

[malte@anticapitalist.party]

@mawhrin there are good muscle-memory-friendly configs for helix!

[mawhrin@circumstances.run]

@malte unfortunately I have also incorporated in my workflow a number of plugins.

(i'm not saying i won't look, i think i'm just kind of grieving now, as irrational as it sounds.)

[malte@anticapitalist.party]

@mawhrin no, it's very understandable. especially with kind of old-school tools like (neo)vi(m) where a love for the craft and learning things is kind of implied the shock hits a bit harder.

[vatine@mendeddrum.org]

@mawhrin @malte Unfortunately, I do not think that viper-mode supports any vim plugins, but (as someone who prefers old-style vi/nvi to vim, nvi is #1, viper-mode is #2, and vim is the third-best vi, for me and my muscle memory, formed in the late 80s).

[quatermasstools@infosec.exchange]

@mawhrin yup, looks like i’m pinning at 9.0 and recompiling at major os updates.

As a fossil my requirements are minimal, and it will at least give me the chance to kill that god-forsaken command history window.

[art_codesmith@toot.cafe]

@mawhrin @malte "Unix is my IDE..." I weep as I remake all my workflow in Helix and sed.

[resuna@ohai.social]

@davidgerard @lyda @mawhrin

Time to switch to nvi.

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@resuna @lyda @mawhrin retvrn to teco

[resuna@ohai.social]

@davidgerard @lyda @mawhrin

vi is basically ed with teco command structure.

@malte @mawhrin do tell
