Exactly, it's wild! If anyone wants to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXBC85SGC0Q Correction, the driver is specifically for Apple Xserve front-panel
What is also wild is that the video has 2.5M views, very odd.
"The we family" :)

And he doesn’t use any config it seems. No syntax highlighting, no line numbers, plain white text on dark background.
he did however decide to use a font which gives off comic sans vibes, which is a very interesting choice for an otherwise very barebones setup :D
I’ve been a long time vim user, and I honestly never really bought into the efficiency claims. That gets repeated over and over, but If you’re a slow typer then no editor can really make much of a difference, and development in reality is a lot of reading code and thinking about code when it comes down to it. I’ve never used it because I thought it would make me some lightning fast super developer. I’ve always used i…
It’s funny how many forks aiming to keep it free from LLM-generated code. The luddites are present even in the most progressive parts of the population.
vi was never progressive, it was "the Ancients knew it better, the present sucks, these kids have terrible taste, return to the one true Past"

Little by little your movements become more complex and efficient, and the journey to figuring that out is fun and interesting.
It’s just fun, and I don’t think that gets talked about enough
vi definitely doesn't scratch that "itch" for everyone in the same way. But for me, it's as though I found a cheat code. Getting better at vi feels like getting better at a game - only practicing this game makes you better at any number of tasks that are relevant to your daily work.
(although if you also want to get better at typing speed, there are surprisingly fun roguelikes on Steam for just this purpose)
On graphical Vis, I liked Cream, which almost made Vim seamless.

Instead of GTK2/3, I prefer Athena Vim.

Simple tool? Visual text editor is probably the most complicated piece of software in coreutils.
there's a visual editor in coreutils? i didn't realize oh i guess there's GNU Readline, but that's not in coreutils i think
