also vim or neovim
<
nikolar>
oh boy, guess i'm never updating vim again
<
mcrod>
even 15 years ago, you'd be laughed out of existence for this
<
mcrod>
wonder what happened
<
nikolar>
15 years ago?
<
nikolar>
try 3 years ago
<
Ermine>
i'll move to helix i think
<
nikolar>
hey does everyone want to use my vim fork, it's basically just vim, but stuck at the last commit before ai
<
zid>
going to need gentoo to keep that ebuild around for a while lol
foxdrodd has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<
heat>
DO NOT USE LINUX
<
bobbin>
does vim need updates?
<
heat>
absofuckinglutely
Lucretia has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<
heat>
and they release them in the worst way possible: patchlevels
<
bobbin>
ai in my text editor? it's more likely than you think...
<
nikolar>
why does vim
*need* updates
<
nikolar>
i've had exactly one crash since i've started using it
<
bobbin>
maybe syntax highlighting
<
bobbin>
that's the extent of it
<
zid>
I would have thought that pluggable
<
nikolar>
zid: it's basically all in files that describe how to do it and you can write your own
<
nikolar>
they just ship a bunch by default
<
zid>
that's what pluggable means yes
<
bobbin>
I tried doing the plugin stuff but it just made it insanely slow
<
nikolar>
erm what?
<
bobbin>
linter server
<
bobbin>
that's what gets you
<
bobbin>
vim can't do it asynchronously (or at least I don't know how to make it so)
<
nikolar>
what's a linter server
<
nikolar>
so say lsp server then
<
zid>
language server protocol server?
<
zid>
yea that's a no from me dawg
<
nikolar>
zid: complain to microsoft
<
nikolar>
they named it
<
bobbin>
ew it uses jsonrpc
<
heat>
it's not lsp server
<
heat>
it's a language server
<
heat>
implementing the language server protocol
<
Ermine>
better than smb as far as naming is concerned
<
nikolar>
heat: still not a linter server
<
bobbin>
linterpreter

> why does vim
*need* updates
<
heat>
you can go through the 100+
<
heat>
patches that fix small bugs in 9.2
<
heat>
or the features, your choice
<
zid>
As someone who hasn't used a feature beyond what was added in 1992
<
zid>
I'm fine without updates
<
nikolar>
heat: ok, apply all those patches and freeze vim
<
nikolar>
why does vim need updates
<
heat>
why should you freeze vim
<
nikolar>
no, the question was "does vim need updates anyway"
<
Ermine>
existence of fixes implies existence of bugs
<
heat>
because bugs, and because new features
<
Ermine>
meaning someone stumbles upon them
<
nikolar>
bugs, sure
<
nikolar>
does vim need new features
<
zid>
As someone who hasn't used a feature beyond what was added in 1992, no
<
Ermine>
not sure about new features
<
heat>
ah ok, you two don't need new features, cancel the project guys
<
heat>
pack everything up
<
zid>
I mean, fine by me?
<
mcrod>
what the fuck?
<
zid>
we're literally discussing doing just that
<
zid>
freezing it at 9.2 or whatever
<
mcrod>
why does irc have “heat is typing”
<
heat>
ircv3 and libera now implements it
<
Ermine>
somehow my experince in vim 7.4 and vim now is the same
<
zid>
your third party layer does
<
heat>
discordpilled
<
heat>
no, it's ircv3
<
zid>
matrix or whatever the fuck it is
<
zid>
no, it's nothing to do with irc
<
mcrod>
i am on irccloud
<
bobbin>
should I switch my client to weechat to get the typing
<
heat>
yes it does, we went over this a few days ago
<
nikolar>
zid: there's a new version of rfc protocol that piled on a bunch of things on top of normal irc
<
nikolar>
it's not matrix or whatever else
<
zid>
nikolar: and?
<
heat>
anyway, re: freezing vim, yeah that's just a stable distro, have fun
<
heat>
you'll love the backports
<
nikolar>
so it's not matrix, it's ircv3?
<
zid>
that's not what I said
<
nikolar>
heat: no?
<
bobbin>
my nvidia driver is frozen :D
<
nikolar>
next version of the stable distro will include a new version of vim
<
Ermine>
surely atrix would do that
<
mcrod>
linux has been hijacked by AI morons
<
nikolar>
freezing vim will never include a new version of vim
<
mcrod>
i can’t wait for that to explode
<
heat>
sure, you can freeze it forever
<
nikolar>
Ermine: artix would do what
<
Ermine>
nikolar: freeze vim
<
heat>
manually, you'll love it, it's fine
<
heat>
it's like maintaining your own fork
<
Ermine>
i mean idk but i wouldn't be surprised
<
nikolar>
i mean, i maintain it
<
heat>
alright. get to backporting!
<
mcrod>
oh by the way
<
bobbin>
are those ur cats
<
mcrod>
heat witnessed basically every distro on my machine explode
<
mcrod>
bobbin: yeah
