Him being naked is completely unnecessary but enhances everything.

[–] DrSanta@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's completely necessary.

How else does one click hotkeys while standing?

Its so rough watching non vimmers use vim

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At my job I wrote a lengthy document on how to use vim, like the core concepts of the hot keys (each key has a meaning behind it, text objects and such). I feel like everyone was happy about it but no one used it at all. It's painful as hell to see them fumble on vi and vim.

You can share it at !vim@sopuli.xyz I'm sure people (me included) would love to use it

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

I'd love to but it's in French, don't know if that's a deal breaker or not ahah

a pro vim user watching a vim noob using arrow keys.

  • Using “cmd+f” to search terminal buffers instead of /
  • Using :wqa! and then reopening the editor instead of just using :w
  • Deleting an entire line by hitting x repeatedly
  • Adding to the end of a like by pressing i and then the right arrow key until they're at the end of a line

SMH = Shaking My Head

It's an Internet initialism.

Oh. Sorry about that. Text is not a good medium for tone. xD

The millennials are in the absolute worst position tech literacy wise. They had the boomers on one end and the zoomers on the other.

My niece struggled with using a mouse when she was in middle school -- her experience with UI was exclusively touch screens prior to that.

The verge had an interesting article on this phenomenon

I'll add "it's not their fault". In the race to make technology intuitive and idiot proof we've removed the need to actually learn how technology works past a superficial level.

[–] max@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Very interesting! It’s something I just cannot fathom as a 20-something year old. Granted, I’m a software engineer, but I’m very much like the professors in the article. It’s just so intuitive to me.

Yup the first person i thought of when seeing this meme is my apprentice, he is 19 and has only ever had an iPhone and cheap Chromebook. Even at school and everyone he knows is the same. We work in controls and all the technician side programs are all interfaces straight out of the 90s, I let him use my laptop the one day and he can barely use the menus, cant use any office program, had no idea what an IP address is and if the default com port doesn't work there is no way he was going to end up at the device manager page. Not that most people wouldn't have a bit of a learning curve.

Its the "apps" and web-apps its just one more layer of abstraction to turn your computer from a tool into an appliance.

He'll be fine eventually, he's going to buy himself a real laptop and start playing with it he said and there's the internet to learn anything he could need eventually. (Well not always where we work but hell manage). But I'd have almost the same difficulty teaching a young man who'd never seen a computer before as I would him.

Comic good. Post title bad.

thats literally my job (web development teacher)

[–] coloredgrayscale@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You poor soul.

clicks scrollbar with mouse and drags it, instead of using the scroll wheel

[–] maiskanzler@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Mouse? OG experts fumble with the touchpad and touchpad buttons to drag the scrollbar down inch by inch.
