essentially a terminal modal editor (like vim), but instead of specifying the action to perform then what to perform the action on (like “yank 3 lines”), in helix you select first, then perform actions on the selection (like “these 3 lines, i want them yanked”). it’s slightly better (according to others) because you get to see what you’re going to change in the file so you don’t accidentally delete 5 lines instead of deleting 4.

on top of that many features are builtin, like tree-sitter and lsp support, so you don’t have to spend 5 hours looking for cool plugins and configuring everything to get started (my config file is only 50 lines of toml).

the downside is that there isn’t support for plugins (yet), but there’s already things like a file picker, more than 100 themes etc.

is there not a single other person who uses helix?

i was here for systemd round 2

yeah that makes sense. i was thinking maybe youtube had servers to decide what chunks clients would get, maybe by looking at whether or not they are premium users first. but anyway youtube still needs a way to differentiate between ad chunks and video chunks, otherwise we would just be able to skip 10 seconds through all the ads. surely that can be exploited somehow.

does this mean stuff like yt-dlp will download videos with ads in thrm as well?

my face when i signed up for lemmy.ml 2 months ago for fun and now they’re being called 5 different political terms

(their sign up verification test was “what is two plus two” back then)

I forgot too. I use Wayland now anyway

good enough, musk?

edit: wait the actual logo looks basically the same as this but without the orange ring

alright now we’re gonna have quite a big discussion as to what “x server” means. x11? twitter?

“guys x servers are down!”
“have you checked your .xinitrc? did you start x?”
“whats an x innit racecar? the x servers are down!”
“how do you use x without knowing what an .xinitrc is… oh”

meanwhile reddit gonna rename themselves to “wayland”
