There are dozens of us!

May I recommend Helix? It’s a modal editor like vim, but has a better out of the box experience, better discoverability for commands, and uses an easier to understand select->command syntax.

How do you not? A text editor and a browser are the two programs that I use the most, both for work and at home. And while most browsers have pretty similar UXs nowadays, the different editors are vastly different. Helix, EMacs, vim, StyledEdit, Notepad++, Kate, etc all have radically different approaches to basically everything.

I would also add that the presidents party almost always loses votes in the midterms. This is particularly true for republicans since 2016 because a lot of trump’s supporters only care about him and won’t bother to fill out a ballot without him on it.

I remember my copy had Buddy Holly by Weezer, and I think something called Good Times. What was the third?

Take your pick: oil, trumps feeling were hurt by the Peace Prize committee, oil, trump trying to shore up support, oil, trump seeing just how much he can get away with, trumps ego, and maybe oil.

Anyone else reading this in 2037?

Oh! Planet Money just did a really good episode on this exact topic.

It’s complicated and I recommend a full listen to the episode, but the big two reasons are:

1. The cost of building out all the new infrastructure is partially paid for by the data centers, but the majority is paid by all customers.
2. The demand for electricity is growing much faster than supply can be built.

Those two, combined with the deregulation in most markets, has meant that the price for everyone is going up.

Huh, I had never considered deaf slang before. Is there somewhere to read up on this?

Just install Mint. Honestly, “gamer” Linux is a pretty silly concept. You can install Steam and Lutris on any distro which gets you access to basically all modern PC gaming. Even something as slow to embrace change as Debian has recent enough drivers and kernels available.

It has all of the typical YT influencer bullshit. “Wait 'till then end”, slightly faster than normal speech, reaction memes, overly long descriptions of things in order to pad in more time for ads, flat out ads in the middle, etc.

My old person trait is that I’d rather spend five minutes reading an article than 15 minutes watching a video.

I’m curious, what AI features do you use and why? I can’t even figure out what one is supposed to do.

Yeah, no. Most members of most militaries haven’t directly killed anyone, even during wartime.

My ex-brother-in-law killed a family of four while DUI. The cops really screwed up the investigation so he was able to get the charges down to a minor moving violation. He never saw the inside of a jail.

When I was in high school a friend of a friend that I knew and had hung out with at a couple of times was a serial killer/rapist. He was one of the last people executed by that state.

Edit: My grandfather killed some Nazis in WW2. Several former coworkers killed people in the line of duty as soldiers. And, I worked as a records clerk at a nursing home, so I knew several doctors and nurses that had taken people off life support.

To be fair, he was almost certainly using Arabic numerals.

/s, obvs

My version is definitely wordier, but I like it.

add-alias() {
  if [[ -z "$1"  ||  -z "$2" ]]; then
    echo "Useage: add-alias <alias_name> \"<command_to_alias>\""
    return 1
  fi
  echo "alias $1='$2'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
  source ~/.bash_aliases
  echo "Alias '$1' for command '$2' added and sourced."
  
}

And, of course, the first thing I test it with is $ add-alias alias-add add-alias.

My 13 year old Thinkpad runs Linux great ‘cos Linux…

• Any 4X - Civ/Master of Orion/Endless Space
• BATTLETECH (2016)
• Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Kingmaker
• Shadowrun: Dragonslayer Dragonfall and Hong Kong

Well, except that without a pocket computer kids, and everyone really, will spend much less time on social media, getting notifications, seeing ads, and all of the other things that most phones push at their users.

Really, I think that headline applies to anyone, not just kids.
