Also if the normal invocation of your program produces more than 3k lines of stdout, sanitize it and default to a file.

Only if your fifteen minute comment recorded during the morning commute is transcribed by the most limited speech to text system possible and put as alt text.

Lockdown mode stops it.

Weepy alcoholic is coded tragically cognoscent in America.

may we meet again when im able to parse complex western jokes, epic sexist edgelord.

Why didn’t you spell the name you wanted right either? Is “fusty” a slur that gets filtered out on your instance?

You’re welcome to join hexbear, where this federation decision was voted on and we tried to make a space for people who are tired of the fediverse too.

I’m not gonna engage with you about Trotsky but holy fucking shit you’re the mythical “state capitalist” sayer who actually is a self aware cliffite.

It’s a pleasure to meet you!

E:

Trotsky was Lenin’s pick

I see what you did there!

Then why didn’t you spell it right?

Just chiming in to thank mr clay for making that thread so engaging and fun and to second his recommendation that you read it.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll leave cursing the great satan, amerikkka!

Never had the fall. Heard the noise though…

You’re welcome to join hexbear. We had a big ol vote about this and are trying to create communities for the people that want a respite from federated posts and content!

It’s incredibly entertaining fr

Find the lie

No it’s bad.

Couple hundred gigs. Everything else is on the server.

Because those laptops suck.

Thinkpads are good and cheap. If someone has a bunch of money to spend on a computer they buy a Mac.

Eh, none of this is really addressing the fundamentals of getting comfortable figuring out how to do what you wanna do, which is what in my experience leads to people seeing command line use as magic incantations.

Like, if you’re on windows you know how to figure out how to do what you wanna do, right click a file, look for entries in the context menu, look at the properties, open with, etc.

This works because people fundamentally understand the metaphor behind the operating system.

If you’re in bash and don’t know how to do what you wanna do you don’t need any of this fancy zoomer shit, just use “which”, “man”, whatever your package manager offers and the other commands that had big oriley books written about em.

People need to develop the command line equivalent of the “click around and see if you learn anything” skills.

E: I gave the linked article another read and it really is about setting up a production environment in the command line and not about getting people comfortable with the command line at all.

Like, if someone needs to cut down a tree in their front yard they don’t need to know how to operate a felller-buncher, they need to know how to use an axe handle to judge where the tree will fall and what it will fall on.
