Vim is the original escape room
(discuss.tchncs.de)
I need this as a poster on my wall
Yes but have you tried quitting vim's "easy mode"?
:q! Before you save any other nonsense
Nah, ikea is the original escape room.
SCP-3008
That's Sweden
I see you haven't used ed.
Yeah, I don't get why the meme is about vim instead of ed. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html
I think escaping ed is easier than vi, although using it is completely different.
I've been using Linux as a desktop for over a decade and have never heard of ed before. I'm assuming that its general lack of popularity is why no one talks about it
ed is much older than Linux. I'm surprised you haven't at least heard of it. I found about about it though the old AT&T Unix tapes
That would imply that there is a way out with out using the power reset button...

Impossible
What about ed? Or TECO?
