Lol this is hilarious. This paragraph is my fave:

We identified that color is a way to connect with people across all divides (and we have research that people respond positively to it) — it is a universal language that transcends the boundaries of our diverse verbal languages. And we chose “Colorways” rather than “themes” to show we are branching out from our language of “browser” to speak the language of everyday life and everyday users. This is about more than just installing a new “theme,” which really doesn’t have much meaning to most people.

On a completely unrelated note (your username), I just started reading a couple Asimov novels! Any recommendation for which ones I should pick up next? I’ve already done I, Robot and Caves of Steel. Thinking maybe I start Foundation soon (but just started the TV show).

The last language I learned was Rust, I did a mix of the two. I read through the canonical Rust book and then got to coding because I learn more deeply when I can apply what I’ve learned. It’s still a tricky language to keep a conceptual model of in your head though.

I have the same but it’s called “please”

No, it only has an integrated html previewer. They removed the full integrated browser because it was unnecessary and an actual browser did the trick

Are you telling me that no compiler optimizes this? Why?

There is much meaningful difference - gold has widespread practical use, while paper currency does not

Nothing you’ve said is wrong, but (at least in the screenshot) the OP didn’t say anything about it being used in anything official. It’s a relatively common term in everyday language thanks to medical dramas which use coding a lot, and it’s even in the Merriam-Webster medical dictionary.

Not to invalidate what you’ve said! Just pointing out that it not being used in official contexts doesn’t make it nonsense to use elsewhere, like on some forum.

Maybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it’s not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.

I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.

A little off topic, but do you know of a kink community on Lemmy? Not porn, more just to talk about it/share resources, etc.

Oh hey, you’re totally right, that’s crazy. I use Beeper (hosted matrix setup) to aggregate my chats and I guess I’ve always been using that to search across all servers without realizing. Fully thought the DM search would also search across servers.

DMs are definitely also another case though - you can’t easily DM people on another server if that requires you to log into another server.

That’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.

The average person learns how to drive a car, which is akin to operating it. The average person does not know how to muck about in the engine of their car, and should not, because if they do the wrong thing they could break it. For that matter, I wouldn’t even recommend someone OPERATES the car without training.

The terminal is considered for advanced users for the same reason. Learning to copy/paste into the terminal without understanding how to use it could mean I say "oh yeah the fix for that issue is doing rm -rf / --no-preserve-root.

But here’s the thing - I didn’t enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win

None, he gave up after Apple blocked them once.

There were actually a couple attempts, but it’s kinda in Apple’s hands… I think he was hoping he could generate enough public outcry to force them to not block it. You can also still access it now, if you have your own mac.

Further, Beeper is just a re-skinned Matrix client with the Beeper company hosting the open source bridges between services

It’s their own client, not just reskinned, and it has a bunch of new features designed to make cross-service nice and simple. Also, the bridges ARE open-source, but the beeper company wrote a few of them and decided to open source them.

Don’t let Migicovsky take your money and mismanage it again.

He refunded everyone who bought a subscription when Apple blocked it. Beeper main is also free.

You could’ve made music out of ejecting/retracting those all at different times!

Would’ve actually been fantastic distributed systems practice, synchronizing all of those to tight tolerances of music across a network connection…

I don’t understand why you’d buy this over the first party Steam Deck

Yeah, but what’s the relative quality of responses? I feel like the bar for “tech savvy” or “competent at programming” has dropped precipitously. And unfortunately, the number of people confidently asserting a wrong answer online is high in my experience, including on programming forums.

Another really helpful tool is to use the fish shell instead of bash. It has tons of useful features, but my favorite is by far the autocomplete. It parses man pages to provide suggestions for flags, subcommands, even passed arguments, and each item in the results list has a description, and it’s all searchable by hitting shift+tab.

That’s what leveled up my cli game from 0-100. It’s a massive difference in usability and discoverability. And unlike things like nushell, it’s close enough to bash that you won’t feel confused if you have to use bash instead.

I had that on a physical machine! It broke hardcore lol I had to reinstall the OS after trying to update
