As long as it isn’t github.

Publish that puppy. It can’t hurt.

Don’t do it in github, though. Sourcehut is better; or if you crave that cluttered, JS-heavy feel, Gitlab.

Agent Smith wasn’t wrong. Most villains have a weak motivation; Smith’s was strong, because it is true.

Do you think I’m promoting voluntary extinction? I don’t think anyone has to do that - not only would it not make a dent in the race to doomsday, but it’s unnecessary since we’ve probably already passed the point at which we’re capable of halting the runaway ecological collapse we’ve engineered - even if there was any indication of willingness on the part of the biggest polluters to draw down, which there isn’t.

What I find funny is those people who are still making more people, as if they’re not dooming them to live through a true apocalypse: global societal and ecological collapse, technological regression, famine, and the resurgence of self-perpetuating oligarchies. A dark ages, but one we’ll never come out of.

Yup! Of the things we could be, we’re most like a virus, but parasite might work. Most parasites don’t kill their hosts, and if they do it’s a secondary action - it usually isn’t the parasite itself that kills the host, but some virus or bacteria the parasite transmits. There are some really nasty parasitic worms that will kill you, or make you wish you were dead.

We’re definitely not symbiotic, like most macro and many micro organisms are.

If we consider the the ecosystem as the host, we’re killing it; and individually, we’re micro-sized to the Earth, so I think virus is the most accurate model.

Maybe! How is it better than keeping a README?

If it’s just a command, I put it in a readme. If it’s a series of commands, I put it in a shell script. What would your tool bring to the party, and if I’m going to turn to a third party solution, why shouldn’t I use Salt or Puppet instead?

The same applies to the human race.

Alligator. Venison. Duck. Butterfish. Trout. Mussels.

Brendan Fraser is really young in this photo.

You only see it that way because of your age. Old people have mostly aged out of those behaviors, but believe me, people have been doing all of those things you list for as long as the technology to do them has.

New headcanon.

Except that one is automatically versioned and would have saved you this pain, and the other relies on you actively remembering to reflexively commit, and then do extra work to clean up your history before sharing, and once you push, it’s harder to change history and make a clean version to share.

These days, there’s little excuse to not use COW with automated snapshots in addition to your normal, manual, VCS activities.

Harder to encrypt though, so I question “more secure.”

Become homeless, I suppose.

Can’t get into my bank? Work won’t let me in because they don’t recognize me? Nobody’s going to hire me without ID or a background check. So I guess I’m a bum now.

Folks here hoping to reclaim their identity: how, exactly? No birth certificate, no drivers license, no passport… how, exactly, are you going to prove you’re you?

People seem to love grapefruit. I can’t stand it; that bitterness tastes like vomit.

I love coffee, but despite the bitterness, not because of it. I go to lengths to brew coffee with minimum bitterness, and then usually add milk just to flatten out the remaining bitterness. I can’t tell it I just have oversensitive bitterness receptors, or what, but your comment about high IBU IPAs struck home. Can’t stand those beers, myself.

We started with plain text. Then everything got more complicated, and everything came with its own incrutable DB. Now we’ve come full circle: todo.txt, calendar.txt, plain text markup documents^[1].

Some things don’t need to be more complex than they are.

Minneapolis. Continental US.

Most of Canada live in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver BC; Minneapolis is father north than where the bulk of the population of Canada lives.

Edit: Figured you might want a source. 70% of Canadians live South of the 49th parallel.. Minneapolis lies near the 45th parallel.

The most popular Linux distros are binary based. Gentoo upgrades build all new software from source. If you don’t want long install times, don’t usr one of these compile-everything-from-source distros.

There’s no option to install Windows from source, and it doesn’t really come with anything more than the OS, anyway, so it’s apples yto oranges. Windows might not even be compilable on consumer hardware.

Yeah, I wasn’t saying it was bad; I meant only that Linux didn’t have to worry about device drivers for it, because the fob handles reading the fingerprint chip.

I dunno. I have a fair number of packages installed from AUR, and the Rust ones take forever to compile. CPUs may have gotten faster, but some popular languages have gotten much slower to compile.
