Vim annoying message

Hi /prog/
Fag op has a problem here. I just installed vim in windows, and when I first open it (vim on cmd...) a message about donating money to uganda and shit like that wildly appears..
Someone knows how to remove it?

Fuck you, who uses VIM nowadays?

It's open source, nigger, can't you into source code?

>>2
Wow, you really belong to /prog/
>>3
can't find it, been looking for it for an hour now. I challenge you to find a way

By donating

Bram Moolenar will then send you a special build.

>>5
Fuck me! Are you serious bro?
I'm trying to destroy africa, i'm not willing to donate.

>>4
Sucker, you don't belong to /prog/
Be a good child and go back to 9gag

Did you try Googling "vim source"? Because it's the first result.

hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/

>>8
I could find its source code but i'm too stupid to edit it by myself. What I can't find is where to change that from the vim i have already installed.

>>1
It seems that many users are annoyed with the "give your money to niggers so that they reproduce even more" message.
We should make a fork of vim and call it "vim sans nigger".

>>9
Oh. grep -rl Uganda . | xargs sed -i '' 's/Uganda/Yo mama/g'

>>10
Someday..
>>11
It's windows, i don't have/wanttoinstall grep. So no.

>>12
Windows
Enjoy your Uganda spam.

Help poor children in Uganda! Donate bullets to break the cycle of suffering!

Typical Scandinavian liberal

back to /g/oy

30-second job with a hex editor.

I can't believe this thread went 17 posts without that.

fuck off kike

>>18
Faggot.

Why Uganda? I'm going to make a fork that asks users to donate to Israel. That's a much more worthwhile cause.

>>18
people like you are the worst...who'd jump in and make unmaintainable mess because they can't be bothered to learn the tools.

anyways, >>19 is correct.

>>23
if it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.

>>18
i'm curious now, did you patch in a thread exit call, or a jump? did you just use code copied from somewhere or did you make the patch yourself?

>>20
NO U

>>26
Don't do this, it erases your BIOS.

>>24

uh, wouldn't you just go in, search for "uganda" and replace the contents of the string with 0x20 or a null?

patching a binary will work untill the next release. it's almost always simpler and better to patch the source if it is available. not that it is needed in this case.

>>26
Is that another one of your illegal numbers?

Time to d-ban my disk again.

>>23
unmaintainable
people like you are the worst... who'd make claims about some abstract bullshite that doesn't matter one bit in practice.

>>24
I didn't do it because I don't use vim, but it'd obviously be a change to the string itself.

Pragmatism always wins. I bet the OP has better things to do than wade through tons of source code, and even *after* finding and editing, figure out how to get it to compile. If you're making huge changes to code then figuring out how to patch the binary is going to be harder than changing the source. If you're just wanting to change a few strings (which are literally the same bytes in the binary as the source), it's the opposite. Also, binary changes show up right away.

(Difficulty of building is what puts off many people from e.g. customising Firefox or any other open-source project to their liking. I wanted to patch out all the stupid shit they did to the UI/whatever else in 4+ but keep the rendering engine improvements, but their build process is so complicated and requires so many extra dependencies that I lost a lot of the motivation. The overly complicated source structure is another factor.)

>>29
Then another 30 seconds and you're done again. No need to go through getting another version of the source, finding and editing, and compiling again. How is that "simpler"?!?! Maybe if you also need to do a lot of other code changes at the same time.

(Why would you even need to. Does a 20+-year-old text editor still have bugs?)

Fuck off, Cudder.  Your worse-is-better bullshit is enraging.

>>31
Which text editor do u use?

>>32
No, you fuck off, Anonymous, with your categorical imperative bullshit. “Works better” does not mean “worse”, it means “better”. Nature, the universe and evolution agreed; don't bother them about it.

>>33
Mostly vi.
