In order of approachability:

Man pages.

Also Arch Wiki.

Also excellent books by NoStarch Press.

… Or did I miss a joke? Hehe

If it’s really long, I use less , because it breaks it up into navigable pages instead of filling your entire buffer. :)

Never knew about just using < though! Cool!

I honestly appreciate your thoughtful reply to my really old comment. :D

It feels like largely Lemmy can be super ephemeral and nothing gets read after like a week lol.

The A-12 is ultra cool!!

Feels like maybe that represents SUSE but…not OpenSUSE. Tumbleweed is legit and the community is super chill and dope.

~yeah I feel personally attacked lmao~

(clears throat in Zypper install)

:p

Username… Hopefully doesn’t check out!?!? 🫪

Hehe yeah I guess that’s what I meant. Just making a statement on how software has become I guess, and maybe a bit about how highly permissive licenses might have unintended consequences.

The open source spirit is one of the shining jewels of the human race, but it really sucks that I don’t think any of those “You aren’t allowed to use my code to make the world a worse place” clauses would actually hold up. =\

Oh, I was holding it upside down!

(Lol yes you’re right XD)

Honestly bidets are super fancy but you could just go with a “bum gun.” Little gentle water sprayer you attach to your toilet line and voila. Got mine for like $20-$30 or something.

Quite incredible. So much that I’m miffed this isn’t a standard expected thing on toilets.

Heehee you can type words, like

:D

Now THAT I gotta see 😂

Oh that’s HORRIFYING and DISGUSTING! D:

“Look, I wrote this neat highly advanced machine vision thing to help people with accessibility needs communicate with loved ones! ❤️. MIT licensed I guess! Let’s make the world better!”

Raytheon, Northropp, Boeing, Microsoft, three-letter-agencies suddenly fork it as a base for their own “projects.”

😐

Still learning git but apparently there’s some “power features”, and, aside from that, it’s the same BS network effect that keeps everyone on all the abusive platforms.

Discoverability, it’s where all the other people already stashed their code, sunk cost, etc…

Siiiigh…

And even though I don’t have have a degree or any certifications…

You must be really good! That’s quite impressive, especially given how many jobs degree-gate just to filter applications so HR doesn’t have to work too hard.

My job is solving business problems.

Sometimes I wish I got dopamine for solving business problems. I’d probably find myself in a lot more situations where people are willing to hand me money. XD

But yeah, software engineering is totally a thing. Like you said, it’s just somebody (hopefully) carefully creating tools to solve particular problems.

Would be kinda cool if we could get People Who Know What They’re Doing™ to just…rebuild stuff from the ground up, untainted by slop. Haha a guy can dream.

Yeah, that’s what bothers me so much. It doesn’t get “smarter” or imagine novel solutions. It simply has access to everything that’s already existed.

I’m scared we’re gonna have already experiencing some kind of intellectual slump because handing everything to the machine built on existing knowledge…doesn’t yield any new ideas.

I’m sure they’re still banking on human brains having new ideas, so they can simply steal them and feed those new ideas to the machine. Then they’ll tell the ideator their brain is irrelevant thanks to the industrialized intellect-theft device.

you have to censor erogenous zones in porn

“Oo this must be one of those adult shows.”

(Every character is entirely a box of flickering pixels)

I love markdown and stuff but also I’m sad I can’t use “carat underscore carat” happy emoticons anymore because it mangles them lol.

No escapes:

^_

Slash escapes like that neat trick up there…

^_^

Not even code block can save it.

^_^

Code block saves shruggie though!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lenny is safe…

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) …for now
