  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.

I've been using vim for years. Because I can't figure out how to exit it

:wq! to save and quit or :q! to just quit

zz will also quit it. Zz when vim is sleepy

Or x, which does the same thing, with the same number of keystrokes. But the ZZ keys are closer together
