that’s nice, but the whole reason recapcha and other ai training capchas exist is that it costs money to host and maintain those services and they’re able to recoup those costs by harvesting and monetizing user data.
capchas literally do have to be boring dystopian bullshit because no one will pay for the alternative.
My comment really applies more to vi than vim but everyone’s using them interchangeably nowadays. When implementing systems where internet connection or excess install size aren’t possible or recommended, you gotta be able to work with the tools at hand.
Of course, the comparison is custom cabinetry to ikea. Your local meth head needs to understand how to use hand tools because he or she may need to use them for myriad reasons ranging from “I don’t have the power version of this” to “it’s faster” to “the cut is cleaner” to “they pay me more to use this”. The person designing hudfł needs to be concerned first and foremost with how to shave a sixteenth off every panel so his accounting department doesn’t have to pay to reforest an extra hundred acres this year.
Perhaps someone working entirely in programming has good reason to not know vim, but I still cling to the antiquated notion that the person designing furniture out of manufactured materials ought to be able to build a box you’d feel comfortable with company seeing.
What are you actually gonna be doing? Not 10 virtual machines or whatever you said, what actual services are you gonna be running?
