      Just use your DE’s default default. Like Kate in KDE.

      NotepadQQ if you like Notepad++

        I was expecting an eMacs vs vi flame war but somehow you’ve managed to piss off both camps by using a GUI. Well done.

            Oh I don’t really mind what anyone uses, vim is just a lot better than vi in my experience and typically gets aliased to vi when it gets installed. I’d hate for anyone to get vanilla vi with their distro and wonder why so many people like vi not realising most are probably using vim.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
