@bram@gamedev.lgbt this is good ux. Frankly I think most users would benefit from a similar popup warning of the dangers of using a computer every time they power it on

@bram@gamedev.lgbt I knew this already. It's great design, and very funny too. Of course, I'd like more vim features in Obsidian, the stuff they offer is pretty barebones. But I will gladly take any #vim over no vim at all

@bram@gamedev.lgbt This reminds of how I discovered that the ed substitute command works in Discord. My brother @philipbrewer@wandering.shop teases me for making typos, so in Signal, when I make a typo, I'll send a followup message "s/typo/fixed" to prevent him from teasing me. But when I did that in Discord IT JUST WORKED!

@bram@gamedev.lgbt Word Perfect had no such message! I fired it up once to see what it was like - blank screen with just a cursor, no menu, F1 didn't provide any help. How to get out of it? Power cycle worked, and I went back to WordStar (menu defaulted on, you could turn it off when you no longer needed it).
