The invention isn’t yo sell ads, it’s to offer a service to manipulate the mass. Making them buy things is just to extract a bit of money, making them vote a certain way, making them want to look a certain way, donate a certain way, hate a certain people, defend a certain way of life. All that is really what’s making them rich with their innovation.

Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint…

Definitely happy I learned it. But I think it also helped I was introduced to it when I just started on Linux.

Most people that use Linux already has editor of choice, and emacs in windows doesn’t feel the same. I’ve had friends show interest in emacs because of how I use it, but it’s always such a hassle to set things up in windows.

Good luck with everything. Go at your own pace, hosting is just leaving a computer on. Add more things as you need and that’s all there is in my opinion. But of course you’ll learn security, backups, and other things as you need.

It is really good when I’m already using something, so I contribute to it because there’s something I wanna fix or add.

But when I’m feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can’t help because I don’t wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.

Emacs is hard to refer to new users (unless they have the passion and time for these things), but I feel lucky I learned it while I had free time.

I feel like projects like these are the only ones that won’t betray us.

Could be fuck ups from AI, i saw several openings from them about integrated AI

Did you not get the memo? In the US of A, your parents’ house is not your house. Some people literally evict their children because they’re not legally required to care for them anymore after 18.

I recommend you gnu parallel. It does similar things, but runs the commands in parallel. And it’s way easier to pipe than xargs. If you really need it to run one command at a time you can give number of cores to 1. And it also has progress bars, colors to differentiate stdout fo different commands, etc.

Basic example: to echo each line

parallel echo < somefile.txt

To download all links, number of jobs 4, show progress

parallel -j 4 --bar ''curl -O" < links.txt

You can do lot more stuffs with inputs, like placing them wherever with {}, numbers ({1} is first) that allow multiple unique arguments, transformers like remove extension, remove parent path, etc. worth learning

Starting to look like that honestly

Edit: and they probably like the AI is flooding the open source market with shitty code and PR that can make it hard to know which projects/PR actually is actually done through human efforts for the betterment of the society

During Superbowl I was talking with a software guy working for a big shopping ( data) company, he was telling us how every interaction on their website is recorded for data analysis, and his own wife was shocked. It came up after I prompted for that conversation, talking about the license plate tracking in parking lots (which she didn’t know about).

I just explain but starting how you can email gmail from Outlook and such ( familiar concept). Then tell them you could email a Facebook account using username@facebook.com (this shows they were open to it at some point), that it was a default state of things because they wanted you connected. But then they realized they can make you sign up to their own website and make more money, so now we need account for everything. But imagine you didn’t, you could access different contents in the UI/format you want. You don’t need to share screenshots of different social media (shows why it’s useful), you could just follow different people from different websites.

So far this explanation has worked. I haven’t converted anyone, but they understand. Sometimes they try to install and see, then say “the things I want are not here” because we don’t have all the niche

We have a good system for Superbowl with my friends, we gather in a place and whoever is there for game enjoys the game, while others do chores (prep food and such), and those that are there for halftime shows and things enjoy those, and the game guys do chores and help around during that time.

I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.

It is to ward off mammals. Their goal is to be eaten by birds, birds can’t taste capsaicin, so it’s just normal food. And birds distribute the seeds.

Sure, if we can share config like that it could work for many people. I still want to see something that dynamically downloads the shared libraries/dlls for tools you add, but that requires complete rewrite. Maybe we can do it with imagemagick scripts

Now I’m thinking why don’t we make an image editor that we can customize the simple UI. Like users choose which sliders and tools to put on the ui, it’ll be simple UI with like just 5-10 buttons/sliders/tools, but you van customize it to have basically anything. That way you can simply drag drop tools make new UI and then use it for specific use cases.

Maybe already existing tools have that options. Or maybe we need to make a new one, in that case, it’d be nice if we could just add all different tools in dlls or sth, so that you can only download/keep the tools you use.

So basically,

I want other people to work hard, get in trouble, and all that, so that I can just enjoy my own life not having to worry about those stuffs.

Works great, until everyone starts thinking the same, and then noone works towards making your life better. It just gets worse and worse, because only people focusing on politics are doing it for their benefits. And then you start blaming anyone and everyone except yourself for making it worse for you.

In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that’ll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script
