    These people are a critical part of the computer ecosystem. Without them, no one would use any settings other than the default. We may not have yet discovered the dark theme.

    Good meme.

    I changed the font size in Mint once. Does that count?

    Now do the “purist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to “save memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

    This one hits scarily close to home

    I even use a non-POSIX shell (https://www.nushell.sh/), with my config synced with Syncthing

    What was her roleplay fantasy? Asking for a friend.

    I dunno really, something about tech support and no money

    I was having a hard time with the fursuit, and she just said "forget it" after the third time i mentioned GNU/Linux

    Lol, good one 😂😂😂.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    That shell reminds me a lot of PowerShell

    At some point we all need to move away from insecure bash scripts.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I personally do most of my heavy scripting in python

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

    Python is great for scripting, but the advantages of nu and powershell are the ease of interacting with system utilities and the availability of common commands like ls etc.

    of course, you can always do subprocess.run or os.listdir(), but that is not as simple as scripting in nu or powershell.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    This is true

    Although, i find this isn't as much an issue if you use python's STL as much as you can

    Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

    But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA


    Oh there's also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python

    postman hands him card reader, he instantly asks where the settings are

    This is awesome XD

    "Bro this screen is too bright, is there a dark mode?"

    every command he runs is an alias

    Okay thats me. I love my aliases, I store them in separate files in ~/.config/fish/conf.d

    postman hands him card reader

    I'm not getting it. I guess I don't interact with postmen enough, because I have no idea how a card reader is related to mail delivery.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    Me neither, I sometimes have to sign on a device

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

    Perhaps it's about payment-on-delivery.

    Pretty usual in Slovakia, though you'll be generally charged some extra for not paying in advance. Usually something like €1.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Idk, but it could be because the payment of the delivery is done 'via surname' to the postman when the package is handed over. So the bank can't track on what you spend your money on (in case you are afraid they do). This option exists at least in Germany. However, it costs an high extra fee.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I dont think we do that in germany, shipping is always paid in advance

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

    It's called "per Nachnahme", C.O.D. in English. You'd pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn't remember. Not used a lot any more these days.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    God I love cash on delivery

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Interesting, never had this

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

    In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it's 5 - 6€ extra, I don't know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago

    wait why are you leaving?!

    We haven't even gone over the varient rules yet!

    every command he runs is an alias

    rookie, most commands grow into functions because they become too complicated to stay as alias

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    So this is why alias in fish are literally functions...

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Then you make aliases of common arguments for those functions, duh

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    It's aliases all the way down

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

    Aliases are for the weak. Memorize and type out the whole one-liner, wuss.

    "I don't remember how to do that. Let me go check my .bashrc." Literal clowning, smh.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    "I don't remember how to do that. Let me go check my .bashrc."

    Literally never happens thanks to atuin

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    My .bashrc sources a functions and alias file, noob. With a function that parses functions!

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

    Hell, my docker compose alias is a function now because I can't be assed to cd to my compose folder before running compose, and wanted to be able to still choose if I -d and/or what containers I wanted to start/stop.
