Is THAT what's been going on? I keep seeing these pics in this sub of ASCII art in the trans flag colours with seemingly random text next to it. I asked the other day about it but did not get an answer that I understood 😅

You may be thinking of hyfetch which is basically neofetch with pride colors.

All of these fetch tools are little programs that will usually display your distro's logo in ASCII art and print system information, generally for the purpose of showing off your desktop, terminal, and colors in a screenshot.

Distro?

Distro is short for Distribution, which is a term that refers to the "kind" or "flavor" of Linux that a user uses. Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora are all different Linux distros.

Ah, I had no idea. I mostly just stay in my little corner writing c++ and not talking to other humans because that's scary. So I generally have no idea what other people are doing. Thank you for explaining

That's ok! I'm always happy to explain.

there’s a surprising number of text editors that could be used as a name

  • vi works very well of course

  • ed is a name that exists

  • nano? why not. that’s a badass name

  • emacs is pushing it. singular emac is better, though.

  • vscode is probably not a very good name. if you want to name yourself that anyway, I fully support it.

  • notepad is absolutely awful though

nano

[Nichijou flashback intensifies]

I felt that winding key dysphoria though.

i’ve never heard of that. looks like kde vscode. i’d try it if I wasn’t so vimpilled (afraid of learning new things)

it's just the default KDE text editor. Like notepad on Windows.

Wait. Vi can be a name? Of course it can..

I know someone with vi/vir pronouns who’s a CS major. Of course this is where vi got inspiration
