Tabs vs spaces has always been a controversial topic. Thankfully, #vim isn't biased in any way.

To convert spaces to tabs, use `:set noexpandtab`, then `:retab!`.

Convert tabs to spaces with:

:set expandtab
:set tabstop=4
:set shiftwidth=4
:retab

After the "fun" I had in the Neovim Github tracker this week, I poured a ton of love back into my old vimrc.

I also updated my website theme to pair up with the new vim colorscheme I'm enjoying.

And lastly, I redirected my financial support for Neovim back into Vim.. I even own some of the official merch. I'll drop it off at a donation center the next time I go to the dump.

Life goes on, man.

Best long term viable vim replacement?

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay vim (and not vim classic, different projects!) still has a permissive ai policy :\

there is EVi, a fork of vim with an anti-ai policy. We'll probably be using that

God, what a fucking asshole.

Anyways, I've already spent some time removing #neovim from about half of my build/development containers. For now I'm going back to #vim, but once vim-classic or #evi is packaged in #debian, I'll switch to one of those.

A github comment by justinmk, posted 1h ago: "You all have embarrassed and shamed yourselves. Most of you aren't Neovim users, but a drive-by mob, swirling from one mindless vomit-party to another, like the pacific garbage patch."

It was only just added to the ports tree a fortnight ago.

Looking for a replacement to Neovim since it became fascist/white supremacist friendly after featuring DHH and refusing to remove his quote/endorsement from their site?

Come try out EVi, a fork of VIm 9.1.0 made by me and a few other maintainers on Codeberg.

We don't have Lua stuff like Neovim but it's still a good alternative if you want a non-AI, pro-antifa, modern Vim experience.

In this meme we see an elderly veteran in a dress uniform looking emotional and on the verge of tears, with the text that reads: "Me, having fought in the Vim–Emacs wars, seeing juniors vibe-code in Cursor”.

After reading @rl_dane's post, I wanted to share how I manage my #bookmarks, and add some quick #notes using #neovim.

Although familiarity with usual vim still comes in handy on the school computer 😅
