The Quuuuuill

yeah you’ll have to install some helper scripts or switch to either fish or zsh. bash is nicer than bourne shell, but it is VERY basic in features by modern standards

(originally debuted in the mid aughts)

sometimes lemmy doesn’t mark messages you’ve read and replied to as read, so voyager continues to show as red. the real question isn’t “do i have the notification number” it’s “has the notification number changed”

for me, inbox zero will remain 105 until i decide to empty the whole thing

GPU accelerated terminal emulators first came about in the mid aughts, though the modern ones that are good, the ones like gostty, really first showed up around 2015. the value for them is that rendering text can be a bottleneck in long-running operations on the terminal in a display environment (as opposed to a raw shell). i only know of one shell with ai features, warp, but i avoid proprietary tools that run system breaking actions so i can’t speak to how bullshit is

wait till you find out companies that operated in South Korea had to support Internet Explorer until 2020

or… you could buy used or third party refurbished. there’s so much equipment out there for the having that’s totally usable for most people. which is consistent with what i said before. if you absolutely must buy new, yeah, make appraisal of the ethical contributions to the world of what’s available, but yeah. all these companies are evil so buying pre-owned equipment limits how much they can exploit us, which is why i said that before

buy used or third party refurbished. just because all the big tech companies are evil is no reason to excuse evil in small tech

framework, the hardware company, gave money to nazis who use open source to promote and normalize their divisive ideologies of hatred. of particular note they donated to the development of omarchy, a wildly unprofessional linux “distribution” put together by the fascist creator of ruby on rails

options:

• i just want my shit to work: mint
• i just don’t want to deal with all of windows’ nonsense changes: zorin
• i just want my shit to work and i have ideological problems with microsoft: linux mint debian edition
• i want an ideologically pure os (mostly): debian
• i want a truly ideologically pure os: pureos
• i just want my shit to work and i have an old-ish computer: mx linux
• i just want my shit to work and i have a considerably old computer: antix

Large… Mob Machine

🤷 it’s kind of just a function of thah activity pub is loosy goosy about how and what to do with it. end of the day it’s the threadiverse that’s weird and we need to just kind of accept these lumps until lemmy/piefed/mbin devs and mastodon/misskey/whatever devs all get on an issue and decide how best to do this

they’re not on the threadiverse, they’re on mastodon where the threading works differently. their software is doing that automatically

hypertext transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol secure. it’s the basic network protocol of the modern internet. hypertext can be thought of as being html (hypertext markup language) though other hypertext specifications do exist. hypertext just means documents with links to other documents.

you know how when you copy a url (universal resource location) from your web browser it always has http or https at the start of it? that’s because your web browser is connecting to an external server somewhere via the hypertext transfer protocol.

cURL can connext to nearly any server via nearly any standard protocol. it’s commonly used for validating connection information and downloading files

Wait Kotatsu is shut down? Shit…

it’s a multipart series. i was able to find the title but not a feed or a link. it’s titled The Butterfly Effect

i’ll have to find it, but there’s a fascinating journalistic podcast about how pornhub’s position as the tech giant of the porn industry happened effectively the same as every tech giant: not as a labor of love to advance something, but as a cold blooded disruption of a market to establish a new oligarchic overlord of a market sector. pornhub’s position as an invasive species in the sex work ecosystem has made sex work far less humane than it was before. moreover, sex workers, given their complete lack of societal protection given our legal criminalization of their profession, are more vulnerable to the whims of a modern robber baron

it’s a healthy sign of a community when dad jokes enter the cultural milieu as something that’s passed from generation to generation. we inherited these jokes, handed them down, and someday they’ll be handed down again

oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?

And as we’re crossing border after border we realize the difference is none

i prefer Felon Stank
