i'm 22 so i wouldn't call myself a kid, but it depends on the point of view I guess

Ahh, the joke is that there is an event in Germany called "fisch sucht fahrrad" (short FSF) which is a big gathering of singles to find potential partners. A bit like Tinder, but before online dating was invented.

A gathering of FSF (free software foundation) People also consists of mostly single men.

i don't understand it either

maybe i'd understand it if i was born before 1993 (the year this joke was send to the gnu mailing list)

When I log into my Foonix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi and Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like, C-h for help'' and "foo" File is read only''. So I use the editor that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

Ed, man!

!man ed 

ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1) 

NAME
  ed - text editor 

SYNOPSIS
  ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ] 

DESCRIPTION 
  Ed is the standard text editor. 

Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed because it's ED!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed 
- -rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi 
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs 

Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem> ed 

? 
help 
? 
? 
? 
quit 
? 
exit 
? 
bye 
? 
hello? 
? 
eat flaming death 
? 
^C 
? 
^C 
? 
^D 
? 

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

i thought Geralt of Rivias horse

since yaml is just a superset of json, you can easily avoid all problems like this

yaml is like a less strict json for me

honestly i have no problem if zuck eats shit

They eat, shit and fall asleep

i install quite a lot of stuff through nix profile

once i decide that i use it often enough and i get around to do it, i eventually move them to my config

nix-inst 🤯

well tbf 'From America' actually fulfills the country in 2 words request because US Americans are the only Americans egocentric enough to claim the term 'America' for themselves
