Restart the computer ;)

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

It's pretty simple:

  • Spam the escape key a bit
  • Then do shift + ;
  • when you're in command mode, do the following
  • q! to forcibly quit
  • wq! to forcibly write your changes and quit

Simple!-ish

Not to be pedantic, but it's not shift+; it's :, which may be somewhere else depending on your keyboard. For example on (german?) Quertz that's shift+.

Why would you want to do that? Vim is efficiency. Without vim, you're wasting your life.

[-] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

A surprised emoticon with a cigar hanging out of its mouth isn't particularly helpful.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

All vim commands are emoticons

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

You just discarded all of your changes.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, because it all got trashed from the previous keyboard mashing.

[-] SneakyThunder@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Press 'Esc', and then 'ZZ'

Simply spend a couple hours configuring vim

When he logs out the NPCs around him only then realise they might be NPCs and start freaking out, hoping that they too can log out. Because if they can't then they're not real...

That's why in Star Trek the holographic NPCs were programmed to not find this odd. Same when the program took place on Earth in the 20th century, they saw alien species like Klingons as humans.

Fairhaven started to notice. Almost burnt Harry and Tom at the stake.

Send help.

I'm surprised no one has said "use linux instead" already.

Did you kill lsass.exe? I did that and it took away power options. It did restart after a minute.

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago

Sasser taught me that killing lsass causes reboots.

Watching that go around a room full of computers was a blast.

Is the joke that the universe is a simulation and we are like users or something like that? Or at least the guy that managed to log out from the universe.

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 122 points 1 year ago

He was the only player, the rest of them are NPCs.

[-] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

They became sentient after he logged out

This is the explanation for why you save before exiting, you can roll back the existential dread for your next game session

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 144 points 1 year ago

Imagine you're walking along and someone near you says what the dude in panel one says, then disappears. Pretty sure you'd have doubts about your own reality.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago

Plus, finally a chance to exit the crapsack timeline we're living in? Pretty tempting.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What do you think why he spends his time here? His reality is worse!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Same reason for all disaster tourism.

The people in panel 2,3,4 fear they might not be real and just NPCs.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

I feel like having the capacity to question your own nature of existence sort of proves the existence to begin with. So if the fear is genuine, they too are genuine. Whether they are in a simulation is still debatable

If I had the superpower of teleportation, I would do this all day. Watching the ensuing chaos from a rooftop chuckling to myself.

This is why my big boy been running since I plugged it in. Can't let all my programs realize they live in a simulated reality, otherwise they'll start degrading.

[-] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

What does "log out" mean? Aren't we all born here inside Lemmy? Well some other people hail from other instances but still
