It’s a cool shell, I use it as a daily driver (though I’m keeping a close eye on elvish which syntactically is even further away from classic shell), but the comments read like fish is basically zsh. And while zsh is pretty close to bash, fish isn’t.

Be aware that fish isn’t a POSIX-compatible shell enough, so you have to adjust syntax.

You can make up numbers all you want, at one point, someone has to foot the bill. This isn’t something like Tesla stock where people pay insane money for paper expecting it to just become worth more in the future, this is about physical goods that need to be purchased and operated. You can’t just hold it like stock or a fund. It deprecates and needs to turn a profit.

While operating at a real profit is already difficult enough, the issue sometimes is that they can’t be operated at all, me it because construction gets no permission or the infrastructure just isn’t there.

Which trolling is

There are plenty nowadays from what I remember.

1. They save on the ARM licensing fees. I’m not sure about the details, but I believe it’s both a flat fee and cost per chip produced
2. They can freely add proprietary vendor extensions, which I’m not sure ARM allows
3. They’re less restricted in general chip design (I think ARM has restricted options in the last years, Apple has some special privileges as a founding member)

Nobody loses it, people are just mocking companies out of touch with reality.

A game that I can’t play releases? Who gives a fuck? I have hundreds of other games to play

There’s a few documents we haven’t seen yet.

A few here means 99%, according to the latest fillings, no? Also the released documents were texted

pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.

Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity

I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…

Then why do they vary by hotel?

This is just silly. I recently saw Las Vegas hotels doing something similar though to a much lesser extent where it’s called “resort fees”. Should be illegal but it doesn’t affect me since I’m not traveling to the US

Motherboards have risen in price over the years as well, you could have a very decent board at 150€ five years ago but today it feels like you need to pay at least 200 to get anything mid tier. I remember when I checked the price of my board that I bought early 2020 around 2023 or so, the price had gone up. But yeah, if you can’t put memory in your already expensive board, maybe you don’t need to buy a board on the first place.

I’m in the lucky position that my machine is still adequate (3900X / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD) with only the GPU being weak (5500XT 8GB), but it doesn’t matter for the games I play. So I can sit out another two or three years.

We’ll see how it turns out - I don’t expect the current generative AI investors to make an RoI anytime soon. If at all.

It was cable select, my bad but I’m leaving it as is

I don’t remember it ever working reliable, regardless of cable

Good rant, though it could use some more caps lock. 7/10

Right, it was cable select… Yeah SATA was a blessing. IDE / PATA really sucked

I had one of these used (think the board had 5 dip switches) but never really used it, am under 40

MASTER SLAVE AUTO (auto never works)

But yeah fuck flat IDE cables. I don’t miss old computers a single bit

Honey bees aren’t at risk of extinction

Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…

There’s also https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/ nowadays, which aims to build on the FHS.
