        Just head down to the basement, find the circuit breakers for your building and flip them all to off for 10 seconds. That usually gets you out of Vi.

        You know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I’m all for it. Personally though, I haven’t seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.

        The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.

        I mean uh… Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you’ll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.

    On foss category KDE connect. I use my phone as keyboard and mouse to navigate my laptop/PC while sleeping on my beanbag. You could use wireless mouse or keyboard but i find KDE more convenient. Also i can control the media from there

    For non foss believe it or not it was google lenses, i used to use Accessibility Button setting floating bubble just for lense easy access from google assistant. They removed it and change it to “Gemini AI” now you need to screenshot and open the separate app.

    Before that you just open it from accessibility and just search the screen. Translate, searching products from your screen, copy paste text from image you can do it from there no need for screenshot.

    Edit : Just found out that you can change the default assistant function from the assistant app. I can use the lens with accessibility setting again *Horay

    LiGNUx, VLC, Firefox w/Ublock, KDE Connect, Dolphin, Kate, KDE. Vim, i3wm, Keepasses, yt-dlp, deluge, freecad, librecad, slic3r/cura. Some of these are clearly redundant or overlap. My use cases vary

    Non-foss: Steam library.

    I wouldn’t spend so much time on the PC if I had to pay a premium for every little thing much like I’ve experienced with my arts-related hobbies.

    Linux, seriously, it’s in my phone, my router, my desktop, my ISP and nearly the entire infrastructure of the internet upon which I rely uses it.
