Restart the computer ;)

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's pretty simple:

  • Spam the escape key a bit
  • Then do shift + ;
  • when you're in command mode, do the following
  • q! to forcibly quit
  • wq! to forcibly write your changes and quit

Simple!-ish

[–] p_consti@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not to be pedantic, but it's not shift+; it's :, which may be somewhere else depending on your keyboard. For example on (german?) Quertz that's shift+.

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This is true, but since I already used ":" to indicate an upcoming list, I wanted to be deliberately clear that I was referring to the key, and not suggesting another list.

Why would you want to do that? Vim is efficiency. Without vim, you're wasting your life.

[–] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

A surprised emoticon with a cigar hanging out of its mouth isn't particularly helpful.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

All vim commands are emoticons

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You just discarded all of your changes.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah, because it all got trashed from the previous keyboard mashing.

opening vim is like entering purgatory

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the longest time I thought that answer was Ctrl-Z

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Same here in the beginning I used

Ctrl-z

kill %1

When he logs out the NPCs around him only then realise they might be NPCs and start freaking out, hoping that they too can log out. Because if they can't then they're not real...

That's why in Star Trek the holographic NPCs were programmed to not find this odd. Same when the program took place on Earth in the 20th century, they saw alien species like Klingons as humans.

Fairhaven started to notice. Almost burnt Harry and Tom at the stake.

Btw, i broke Windows yesterday and shutdown doesn't work anymore.

Send help.

I'm surprised no one has said "use linux instead" already.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do. But i got a Gaming PC for the TV and finally want to play the games who never worked with proton.

[–] Moshpirit@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was just joking, use whatever you want haha

Did you kill lsass.exe? I did that and it took away power options. It did restart after a minute.

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 14 points 2 years ago

Sasser taught me that killing lsass causes reboots.

Watching that go around a room full of computers was a blast.

This is the explanation for why you save before exiting, you can roll back the existential dread for your next game session

Imagine you're walking along and someone near you says what the dude in panel one says, then disappears. Pretty sure you'd have doubts about your own reality.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 67 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Plus, finally a chance to exit the crapsack timeline we're living in? Pretty tempting.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

What do you think why he spends his time here? His reality is worse!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Same reason for all disaster tourism.

The people in panel 2,3,4 fear they might not be real and just NPCs.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like having the capacity to question your own nature of existence sort of proves the existence to begin with. So if the fear is genuine, they too are genuine. Whether they are in a simulation is still debatable

If I had the superpower of teleportation, I would do this all day. Watching the ensuing chaos from a rooftop chuckling to myself.

This is why my big boy been running since I plugged it in. Can't let all my programs realize they live in a simulated reality, otherwise they'll start degrading.

[–] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago

What does "log out" mean? Aren't we all born here inside Lemmy? Well some other people hail from other instances but still
