  • yes and no.

    I work as an it support in a small software company, so i do lots of stuff:
    data integration / migration, fixes in our legacy products & websites, and of course fixing printers.

    thats way to complicated explain in detail,
    but just saying IT support doesn’t do it justice (people just think im the guy that tells people to “turn it of and on again” if i leave it at that)

    Instead of telling people directly what i do,
    i just tell them i work in IT, this is what my company does, and i work on these products.

    i just use vim plugins in the other editors i use.

    kate has a vim mode,
    vs code has a vim plugin.
    intellij has a vim plugin.
    obsidian has a vim mode.
    a lot of editors have vim modes.

    if you have a current non vim markdown editor,
    try looking for a vim mode.

    if you dont, obsidian is all about markdown,
    and vs code has a markdown preview plugin.




  • 😂😂😂 the wonders of unicode / utf-8

    it the reason why you can post in any imaginable writing system from ancient sumerian complaints in cuneiform 𒂍𒀀 𒈾𒍢𒅕 to the goddamn seraphim o “серафими многоꙮ҄читїи҄” that was used exactly once in a single 15century manuscript.

    its also the reason you can post emojis nearly anywhere.








  • afiak the prase “i use arch btw” is mostly sarcasm,
    instead of genuine appreciation.

    its mocking the stereotype of arch users that constantly bring it up to sound smart or feel supperior.

    think of arch like “vintage car culture” with a touch of minimalism.
    its restricting and breaks all the time,
    but thats kinda the point because fixing it becomes a part of your lifestyle.




  • smartphones are pretty damn impressive.

    they downright make scifi gizmos like dataslates, or comunicators seem outdated.

    gps navigation arround the world,
    even without cellula reception if you have offline data.
    and automatic navigation / route planning

    a vast array of communication services be it text sound, or video,
    one on one, as a group, or in a public forum.

    a vast sea of information on every topic immaginable.

    ever improving camera & sensor tech.

    and smartphones do it all in one device small enough to fit in your pocket.

    and didn’t even mention the computing power & storage that oveshadows some room sized supercomputers of the past
