What's the first rule of Vim fan club?

You must know at least 5 different ways to exit Vim. But you'll still somehow manage to get stuck. 😂

You don't talk about... nano or vscode.

Definitely not lazy, but I am a lazy #Linux or #Unix user ( ⊙‿⊙). Thanks https://www.commitstrip.com/en/2017/02/28/definitely-not-lazy/

Remember to share links to independent art, text, videos, tutorials, and news articles from reputable sources that you trust on your federated social network. This will help support these original creators and ensure they receive beneficial traffic, rather than directing it to big tech platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram, Reddit, and others. In the age of generative AI, these platforms often fail to give credit to creators.

Large language models reduce public knowledge sharing on online Q&A platforms https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/3/9/pgae400/7754871 GenAI companies all take and do not give back to anyone. So why would anyone contribute back? People contributed on forums or wikis, hoping the knowledge base would be helpful to fellow humans. Still, they are used by AI companies, ignoring all licenses and not giving any credit to anyone.

Just a friendly heads-up! While there might be Debian-related Discord servers out there (it is unofficial server), the Debian Project doesn't officially endorse any of them. For official support, you can connect with the community through the forums, IRC, newsgroups, or mailing lists. You can find the details on their website:

TL;DR: There is no official Discord server for Debian Linux.

In the past few weeks, Apple canceled the following:

a) A multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI

b) Apple officially cancels autonomous driving permit (Apple already scrapped its self-driving electric car project after ten years of research)

c) Apple engineers confirmed that AIs don't understand reasoning and stuff like that.

While the whole tech industry is going AI-first, Apple is more cautious and isn't buying AI buzz. What do you think this indicates?

This is how I feel when I ssh using my mobile phone.
