When I’m working on some code or whatever this Syntax comes naturally in vim, but I was thinking in non-sw-dev context and thought those are a list of substitutes and got majorly confused until I saw the next comments
well, especially since se also works as a domain, so I originally was expecting, to use related syntax for fun se|li (or plain old se/li) and had to go back and reread. At first read it as se/org/li as in, “se OR org OR li” work and I thought, “no, they just said org doesn’t work.” Then I reread and recognized the sed pattern.
s/org/li isn’t being cryptic. That’s a common way to write “substitute org with li”
TIL 😅
I use that syntax during work and still needed a hint to mentally parse the comment this way
Yeah, press x to doubt
I used these expressions too and when you see them, you know what it is
I’m just having problems switching contexts.

Sometimes the mind is just in another place
Not sure what’s so hard to believe about that

Well, common in certain circles. Definitely cryptic for everybody else, though.
Common within a very small niche. I got it, but still assumed you were trying to circumvent some kind of censorship
Aye. Bookmarking this thread to remind people when I see complaints Lemmy isn’t taking off enough except for super technical topics.
I’d wager a lot of people from that small niche are registered on the Fediverse, though.
I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about. Thank you.
A “common way”? It’s sed syntax. Non-technical people will not get it.
I am technical and it was not clicking
