None of these are accurate. The only shell trick that genuinely saves your sanity is fish. (/jk)

Also, these are genuinely very basic tips. It’s much more useful to learn about tmux, plugins (e.g., atuin), and useful commands like sed, grep, fd, awk, etc. Pretty much everything this article mentions becomes second nature in fish, leaving you to focus on more important things. Like learning neovim or emacs!

I came here looking for this. Thank you.

In my defense, this is because I had to zoom out as far as alacritty would allow to get everything on screen, so the res of the text got significantly reduced. Is there a way to take lossless screenshots of a terminal emulator, though? This was the only way I could think of doing it, zoom out really far and then capture with grim

Don’t worry, the update doesn’t bother me in the slightest; I think it only took about five minutes anyway. I just thought it was kinda funny, the sheer volume of updates. In my seven years of daily driving Linux, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many updates come at once. The closest was a Arch laptop I hadn’t opened for two months, but I don’t even think that was over two thousand, lol

I love typst! I have also been using it for about a year now, though only for personal stuff, because the math and more advanced formatting is not quite on par with latex yet. But it’s getting close and it’s so much nicer to use!

I agree, but that’s kinda like saying that too many people read Doctor Seuss and that they should read Ulysses instead. Le Guin is far superior to Rowling, not just in ethics, but in literary ability, and thus also difficulty. But I do think everyone should read everything she’s written. In particular The Dispossessed, given that this is lemmy.

Great examples include making people wait until adulthood to smoke nicotine or cannabis, or to drink alcohol.

I mean, I agree with you, but highschool is a thing… these laws are basically useless to my knowledge. I think about 50% of my grade had smoked weed by tenth grade, and half again were addicted to nicotine by 12th. The only reason I didn’t fall victim to those (as many of my friends did), is because I was educated, by my parents, from an early age, about addiction and these substances. I never even tried them, because I knew better, thus never got addicted.

I meet all those criteria except that I’m an eight year-old dog. But nobody knows that…

Not sure if that one counts… here’s a non-cat photo

The beginning of the article is pretty weak, especially Masnick kinda defending addictive design:

Here’s a thought experiment: imagine Instagram, but every single post is a video of paint drying. Same infinite scroll. Same autoplay. Same algorithmic recommendations. Same notification systems. Is anyone addicted? Is anyone harmed? Is anyone suing?

Of course not. Because infinite scroll is not inherently harmful. Autoplay is not inherently harmful. Algorithmic recommendations are not inherently harmful. These features only matter because of the content they deliver. The “addictive design” does nothing without the underlying user-generated content that makes people want to keep scrolling.

But I gotta say, it does seem like this could set a dangerous precedent. If it becomes easy to file cases for design decisions on the platfor

Interesting, the OED adds this:

Compare post-classical Latin defenestratio (1620 or earlier, although the author claims to be coining the word). Compare also Middle French, French défenestrer to throw out of a window (1564), and German Fenstersturz (1626 or earlier in this sense; lit. ‘act of throwing from a window’; also more fully Prager Fenstersturz), the usual German name for the 1618 event.

The article was fun to read, so I fully accept that explanation! ;P

Small correction:

I just played Doom 2016 yesterday. I can’t believe that’s ten years old now… both because damn, time flies, but also it has great graphics, better than most games today imho

Also the first Equalizer movie with Denzel Washington: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0455944/ Denzel is just really good in this

And the Bagdad Cafe and Diva are also great!
