The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI's fsn file manager running on IRIX.

IRIX is a discontinued operating system developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) to run on the company's proprietary MIPS workstations and servers. It is based on UNIX System V with BSD extensions.

Close enough I'd say. After all, she didn't say "this is UNIX", she said "this is a UNIX system".

Looks more like a Linux. Unixers have a greater sense of cleanness.

Helix and Vim/NeoVim? Muscle memory is overrated anyways.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He installed Helix last year and will try it out soon. Any day now...

[–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He'll try it right after he's done tweaking his NeoVim config so he can finally start doing some meaningful work in it.

This is the equivalent of a woodworker building jigs and other tools with their thousands-of-dollars of equipment.

Source: me. I do this. 😬

[–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, the feeling of "just needing that one perfect tool before I can do this" seems terribly common and I feel like it's being enabled quite a bit in our society. If I just had the right editor/keyboard/notepad/fountain pen/jig etc, then I'll be able to work on this other thing...

Legit thought it was just going to be a wall of text editors and nothing else

But, but over 3 billion devices run Java!

stackoverflow: the one to bind them all

I don’t know they were even around still. That’s cute, good for them.

You don't need this many editors x) Neovim for all your terminal needs, emacs evil mode when you need some actual UI in there like a notebook or R markdown !

Besides that, Java is never the right tool. It's always close enough but never quite right ; just like you can technically replace every single tool with a knife... But you shouldn't. (Except a knife does have a proper use, Java does not)

Why does it start with Men? Did you mean to put "man" there, or do you think only dudes collect tools?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 5 hours ago

Because my english no good :(

Fixed it, thanks.
