Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I’m not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it’s good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it’s no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
Just credit the reddit user, that’s all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of “Repost from [username] on [insert website]” would do fine." Good comment!
I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.
If you are actually interested in learning, it’s not too hard, you’ll be slow for a little bit but it pays off in the end.
First, understanding there are actions and objects and quantifiers. Actions are what you do to objects, so when you want to (d) delete, that is the action, then you’d want to specify a object. ($) being the end of the line, (^) start, (w) is word, (j), (g) is top of file and so on, these are already the words you’ll use to move along as well.
Then, for many of these we can add quantifiers, i.e. repeat x number of times.
So 3dw is delete three words and 3dj is three lines down and so on. If you want to select, it’s just swap v for d and off to the races.
Once you learn the basic concept, you really only need a few actions and a few objects to be functional.
Print/find/make a cheat sheet and put it up by your monitor or keyboard and give yourself a week.
Also, checkout the vimtudor or vim golf and play the game for a few minutes.
