Fun fact: If you see someone at a nerd event wearing a vim-themed shirt, it's because they put it on in 2003 and couldn't figure out how to take it off
If you see someone in an emacs-themed shirt, that will be the only thing they're wearing - they don't have any other clothes b/c emacs does everything they need
@kaye but why do they wear pants then though?
@kura @kaye I think the implication is that they do not wear pants. Or underpants.
@http_error_418
M-x legs-coverage takes care of that...
@kura @kaye
@kaye I will wear my millennium XEmacs tee-shirt with pride
@kaye 💠 it's true, i actually used emacs to weave the shirt
@kaye
I've heard Emacs is a great OS - Me, a Vim user
@kaye Dear gods do *not* make me think of RMS sans pants, it is too early here for that shit.
@kaye If you see someone wearing nothing at all, that's actually their ed-themed shirt - ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
@kaye so true! I have a browser, terminal, and emacs open.
Next week I'll try to move the terminal into emacs.
@kaye You take off the vim shirt by putting it in your mouth. Because your mouth is the beginning of the colon queue.
@xorn @kaye ... and there it is. I was thinking there would be a "colon" joke somewhere but the only ones I could come up with were really shitty.
@forrcaho @xorn @kaye
Think yourself lucky! I’m trapped forever with only a semi-colon!

@kaye I now wonder if vi t-shirts exists.

@LapTop006

@lin @kaye @LapTop006 They should brand them "Vi-Shirts".
@farbenstau @lin @kaye @LapTop006 or for Emacs, M-x shirt
@sleepyfox @lin @kaye @LapTop006 The superiority of vi is obvious as even emacs now includes a vi mode, but not vice versa.
@farbenstau @lin @kaye @LapTop006 That's because Emacs people are inclusive live and let live people, while Vi supporters are extremist isolationists.
@sleepyfox @lin @kaye @LapTop006 [reporting this to your instance as hate speech] /kidding
@farbenstau @lin @kaye @LapTop006 I've used vi since early SunOS, it was necessary because it was there only editor (other than ed) that was included on the installation media.
@sleepyfox @lin @kaye @LapTop006 I'm using vi since 1998 - still trying to figure out how to quit! 🤪
@kaye I feel attacked, but I can't argue with this
@kaye Thanks - that's my giggle-of-the-day

@kaye

You have to contort your body into a "q" shape, say "open source" three time fast, and then it slides right off.

@kaye I can quit whenever I want!

I just don't want to!

@kaye you can always put a shirt on top of it though 🤔
@kaye ... which explains the smell
@kaye fun fact, first time I started vim, I had to reboot the computer
@kaye Although, as someone who's been *paid* to be a pedant (that's my excuse for being boring), I've never quite been sure why `:q` is seen as harder than `C-x C-c` - I mean, that's actual control codes there!

@kaye Vim? Where’d that ‘m’ come from, anyway? I use ‘vi’, or sometimes ‘ex’. If I I want to get all fancy I have ‘nroff.’

Works great on my 6th Edition/Programmers Workbench system.

@kaye I’ll ask them about the manufacturer of such a strong piece of fabric 🥹
@kaye I think you have to type Ctrl-X Ctrl-C or something like that.
@kaye I was the same about emacs for a long time. I used to sign into my Well account, edit some files with emacs and then hit ^Z and log out. I always felt so bad about it. Eventually I learned about ^X^C.
@kaye I guess that also explains the smell. 🙃
@kaye This made me laugh out loud, thank you
