Restart the computer ;)

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.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

All vim commands are emoticons

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

You just discarded all of your changes.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

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

[-] SneakyThunder 11 points 10 months 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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 120 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

They became sentient after he logged out

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.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Sasser taught me that killing lsass causes reboots.

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

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

[-] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago
[-] [email protected] 143 points 10 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 75 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Same reason for all disaster tourism.

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months 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.

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