What helps people get comfortable on the command line?
  • Maybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it's not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.

    I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.

  • 21F... am I crazy over jealousy?
  • Or looking for asexual men! Not all asexual men are aromantic, which sounds to me like what you're looking for - someone who wants a romantic relationship but not sex. Or maybe someone demisexual - interested in sex, but only with someone they already have romantic feelings with.

  • Anon tries to download videos from youtube
  • The average person learns how to drive a car, which is akin to operating it. The average person does not know how to muck about in the engine of their car, and should not, because if they do the wrong thing they could break it. For that matter, I wouldn't even recommend someone OPERATES the car without training.

    The terminal is considered for advanced users for the same reason. Learning to copy/paste into the terminal without understanding how to use it could mean I say "oh yeah the fix for that issue is doing rm -rf / --no-preserve-root.

  • The Pebble smartwatch is making a comeback. Google has open-sourced the Pebble software, which means anyone — including Pebble’s founder — can make one.
  • None, he gave up after Apple blocked them once.

    There were actually a couple attempts, but it's kinda in Apple's hands... I think he was hoping he could generate enough public outcry to force them to not block it. You can also still access it now, if you have your own mac.

    Further, Beeper is just a re-skinned Matrix client with the Beeper company hosting the open source bridges between services

    It's their own client, not just reskinned, and it has a bunch of new features designed to make cross-service nice and simple. Also, the bridges ARE open-source, but the beeper company wrote a few of them and decided to open source them.

    Don't let Migicovsky take your money and mismanage it again.

    He refunded everyone who bought a subscription when Apple blocked it. Beeper main is also free.

  • So apparently you can just, type the word eject into bash and it will pop open your disk drive
  • You could've made music out of ejecting/retracting those all at different times!

    Would've actually been fantastic distributed systems practice, synchronizing all of those to tight tolerances of music across a network connection...

  • Anon gives a piracy history lesson
  • Yeah, but what's the relative quality of responses? I feel like the bar for "tech savvy" or "competent at programming" has dropped precipitously. And unfortunately, the number of people confidently asserting a wrong answer online is high in my experience, including on programming forums.

    [BUG] Comment number doesn't show on collapsed last comment

    Until I trigger the collapse mechanism, the last comment in a post doesn't have the number of subcomments when it hides subcomments by default. See the below pictures for an example with a specific post, but I've noticed this on every post I've seen recently.

    If I reload by pulling down, it again hides the comment number.

    Without the comment number after loading the post: !Without the comment number

    After tapping to collapse the comment, comment count shows: !After tapping

    Instance upgrade (sh.itjust.works)

    My instance has just upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.3 yesterday, but I don't see any of the new features (scaled sort etc). I tried logging out and back in (had to anyway as the subscriptions weren't showing). Switching to a different instance on 0.19.3 shows the correct features, but when I switch back, nothing.

    Does anyone know anything about Solid pods?

    I heard about this project years ago. Cool concept: standardized, interchangeable storage + identity that can be plugged into arbitrary apps. The idea is that your identity is tied to your data, and your data can be hosted anywhere so you can retain control over your data or use a simple provider. It was also created by Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the web.

    However, it doesn't seem to be gaining traction anywhere, even in the already-niche self-hosting community. From the GitHub (which was hard to find on the website!) I could see that it's being actively developed, including a new website redesign, but everything else seems stagnant. Their newsletter has no updates since 2021. There are only a small handful of apps listed on the site and most of them haven't been maintained since 2019 or earlier, and a lot are just things like "solid pod explorer" or "demo app".

    Anyone had any experience with it? Or know more about the situation? I would love to see this become more widely used.
