Not our fault everyone blows past the kind offer of : vimtutor on startup! (I kid. The default editor shouldn’t require a class.)
You’re 100% correct. Nano is a perfectly reasonable default.
That said, it is 2026. It also wouldn’t kill us to default to an interactive one-time prompt that defaults to nano, but offers one or two others, and removes itself after setting the user’s choice.
Like it cannot print invisible characters.
I was looking at an option to display invisible characters in Kate like last week. So it got better, I guess.
haha!
Sometimes I feel like my side of the holy war isn’t engaging in completely good faith.
I might switch sides to emacs if my fingers were long enough to reach the key combinations.
Maybe I’ll go try it, anyway!
…
What was the command to exit vi, again…?
But but but…vimtutor is right there on startup - so it’s an easily obtained diploma…
I’ll see myself out.
kate is fantastic, all around.
Ctrl+Alt+V makes the key bindings tolerable. (Vi mode)
Yes. Lack of :r! is what keeps me from using most editors that aren’t vim.
There’s so many things I don’t remember well enough to type accurately from memory, but I know the command to fetch quickly.

When I have had something previously working to not working with no known changes, it has usually been failing hardware, for me.
Keep an eye on your heat - both in the PC itself, and in the charging cord (if a laptop).
Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).
Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.
Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.
Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.
About fucking time.
Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.
If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.
Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.
Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.
Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.
Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.
Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.
Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.
Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.
Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(
Let’s be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.
Company is - you guessed it - Flock. (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed in a correction.)
Apparently he makes bank.
Epic!
I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn’t think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.
Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.
But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.
One pushback - there’s still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.
Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.
Sacrilege!
