I kind of see mythology as people trying to make sense of the world and themselves. Our hopes and fears and why things happen. We don’t think of it in terms of gods anymore, but we’re still affected by the history of religion and philosophy. We can say we’ve abandoned all these lies about supernatural beings, but I wonder to what degree we’re still operating within the framework it provided.

Recently I decided to try ed for real and used it exclusively for a coding project. There is a certain joy in the simplicity, but ultimately I found myself printing lines and searching files more than I liked. And rewriting long lines instead of getting the substitutions wrong again.

Is edlin still around?

Maybe it can be translated into something else, like, “Documentation is like toilet paper, when it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s better than nothing”? Or, “Documentation is like clothes, even if they are bad it’s better than nothing”, or “Documentation is like having something you need, it’s better to have the thing you need even if is not good, than to not have the thing you need at all”?

It seems interesting! But like, it’s $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube

Now I want to know how different distros measure up in unix socks per 1000 users or something. I have a feeling that Debian has a higher total number, but NixOS a higher percentage, maybe?

How do you feel about other peoples Go code?

what does augmenting user retention mean in practice?

Isn’t a shopping list more like a data structure? A recipe would be an algorithm. I don’t know, I could be wrong.

If someone told me to use the fdisk app I’d be confused.

It will be introduced on the year of linux on the desktop.

That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, “we don’t want this… but we have no choice!” And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.

Is it not working well? What is it lacking?

If the money is freely given as a donation, then I’m with you. If lack of money is what is stopping someone from making things that others are willing to pay to see more of, then sure. But if the only way to do it is to have ads or selling our data etc, then I don’t want that.

I’d rather have one unix surrealism than a thousand influencers with lots of followers. These days, I want to be among people who interact as equals, who share ideas, who cooperate in a genuine way. If we try a shortcut to more users through money, what is the point?

It’s more that the position of the escape key changed. This was they layout of the keyboard vi was written on. Note the arrow keys too.
