Hate to be that guy but does anyone have a similar compilation for vim?

  Funny you should ask. I think this link to Emacs buttons came up on Reddit in the comments in response to a post about Vim buttons. IDK what the original is, but here are some: https://www.vim.org/buttons.php https://www.vim.org/buttons.php

  I do not understand what "hate to be that guy" means.

    "Hate to be the guy who brings up vim an an emacs thread (and trigger another round of the editor wars)" I assume.

    They’re evoking the Vim vs. Emacs rivalry; like these stickers, another defunct 90’s meme.

    > I do not understand what "hate to be that guy" means. There’s usually a guy that brings up something that’s off-topic and only tangentially related to what’s being discussed, causing many people to roll their eyes. And the thing “that guy” brings up is often something he doesn’t quite understand and why it might be annoying and derail a good conversation/thread. That’s what being “that guy” means.

      Honestly didn’t mean anything by it but I appreciate the heads up!

Do they all have to look like they're circa 1993? Can we possibly get a modern looking EMACS badge?
- gpderetta 3y ago
  The vast majority of these of these were probably designed in the '90s.

  There is Built with Spacemacs tho : https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs#supporting-spacemacs https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs#supporting-spacemacs I'm +1 to add a made with Doom Emacs button to my site :D

  Not a badge, but a modern icon https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

Nice to see some more buttons. I've been adding fun ones to my site, and while I don't use Emacs, I might start so I can sport some of these, lol.
- opan 3y ago
  One fun use of emacs even if it isn't your main editor is to use M-x describe-char to see what a character is. Can detect and describe obscure unicode, emoji, math symbols, zero width spaces, right to left text symbols, etc. I often use it if some text looks a bit off and I suspect something is hiding in it, or if someone posts an emoji in IRC and I can't tell what it's supposed to be (in part due to small size). There is also M-x insert-char to search up a character by name and then write it. I learned of this by watching a Xah Lee stream once where he used it. There is a similar thing with the vim-characterize plugin, but I like that the emacs way is built-in and works everywhere.

Anyone know of some nice SVG versions?

  Modern raster -> vector using ML techniques isn't horrible. I'm on a bus, on a phone, traveling abroad so sorry for not getting into more detail but look into it. The manual fixing is pretty minimal and tolerable these days. This is like, within the past 2 years it's gotten decent

When I paste my writings from Emacs into a textarea I don’t get this I get a captcha instead.

There seems to be a timeless design aesthetic of "that emacs person". Someone should write a guide to make say YouTube look like it.

I dearly miss the days back before software programs had consistent branding. On this page, I see a hundred different buttons, but rendered with a hundred different typefaces, a hundred different color schemes, a hundred different arrangements, all according to whatever the designer thought looked attractive to them at the time. These days, the fact that most programs include some sort of graphical branding means these knick-knacks are a lot more homogeneous. Which isn't a bad thing, I just miss the old days :)
