I also just switched to KDE/plasma on my Pop!_OS machine after historically using either its built-in GNOME, or before that I would use I guess Unity on Ubuntu. I’ve tried KDE in passing in the past but I’ve never fully appreciated its delighfulness before. The widgets, the configurability, the clipboard history!
I migrated to fish recently and at first I was really annoyed that I had to decompose my ~/.bash_aliases into 67 different script files inside ~/.config/fish/functions/, but (a) I was really impressed with the tools that fish gave me to quickly craft those script files (-
~> function serg
sed -i -e "s/$1/$2/g" $(rg -l "$1")
end
~> funcsave serg
funcsave: wrote ~/.config/fish/functions/serg.fish
) - and (b) I realized it was something I ought to have done a while ago anyway.
Anyway, all this to say that fish ships with a lot of cool, sensible & interesting features, and one of those features is a built-in place for where your user scripts should live. (Mine is a symlink to ~/Dropbox/config/fish_functions so that I don’t need to migrate them across computers).
I’m guilty of using YouTube to communicate a lot but YouTube Shorts is a hilarious way of communicating this particular message
Yes, but if they regularly snore they probably have sleep apnea. If so, their life would likely be incredibly improved by a sleep study and maybe a CPAP machine.
What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.
On Windows, there used to be (possibly a third-party application) a desktop widget that had a “turtle”, and if you clicked on the widget it would drop a little pixel of food, and the turtle would slowly walk over to it and consume it. I thought that was really cool.
Currently considering Alien: Isolation at 75% off/ $10, Vampire Survivors at 25% off / $3.75…
They’re not the same thing, though. If you use infantilizing language with people of one sex until they’re 40, yeah, people are going to notice that and think it’s weird. I used to have a ton of unexamined behaviors like that before I worked on it a fair amount, and yeah, I was pretty lonely back when…
Okay, but “never have I ever understood why X” is just turning “never have I ever” into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.
Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.
I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.
You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There’s only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a “weirdness” perspective, and there’s not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.
I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they’re eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.
It’s all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child’s interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that’s dull to you is new to them (and everything that’s exciting to you, they’re often not ready for yet).
Don’t touch my garbage! 😾
I’ve read that comment a lot and it makes me feel like there’s something big that I might spoil if I ever Google about it. But like I’m a couple dozen hours in at this point… After how many hours of playtime would you say the “don’t look it up” advice expires?
How does this chrome add-on get installed in the first place?
That’s why tmux has synchronize-panes!
It’s fun to try to pick up some American Sign Language. The best resource I’m aware of is: https://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lessons.htm
