I've been telling myself that for a while.

I guess it's time now.

I tried typing velocity in the terminal and got a velocity command not found.

I guess the command crew is out on vacation, so no terminal velocity 🤔

I'm 6 feet 2 inches. Would that be high enough?

Too late. Removed batteries, now car doesn't start ☹️

I've learned a few new commands now. :e dials an existing contact, and :w saves contact information.

:q! is super useful for hanging up on robo-callers

I think this thing could work... I dub it the vimphone!

Try it to find out!

• Install Termux from F-Droid
• Open Termux, and run pkg install gvim. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
• Launch vim
• You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave....

Home Manager is a BIG rabbithole of it's own for sure. Between nixos, nix, and home-manager, I've probably skimped on sleep for weeks.

At the moment, I primarily use 3 distributions ( OpenSuse Tumbleweed NixOS Ubuntu ), but each one of them uses a combination of chezmoi to sync dotfiles, and home-manager to manage command line packages - nice to be able to have the same command line utilities and tools available.

One thing I like about my current home-manager config is that it installs more packages on nixos than on other distributions, by separating the all_os vs. nix_only packages into two separate files, and sourcing them like so:

 json

    
  imports = [
    ./all_os.nix
  ] ++ lib.optional (builtins.pathExists /etc/nixos/configuration.nix)  ./nixos_only.nix;

  

Anyways, I digress :)

Good for you fellow adventurer!

• I spun my laptop up (wait for me sleep, I promise I won't be long...)
• updated my home-manager configuration to add starship above cowsay
• added the updated home-manager config, bashrc, config.fish to my chezmoi configuration
• promised myself I would go to sleep after this much, fingers crossed!

Proof it happened:

Chat Across Canada - sounds catchy!

this one never gets old... haven't found another one like it despite searching every 6 months or so 😂

Unlike real Apple devices, his contraption wasn’t programmed to collect any data from nearby iPhones, even if the person tapped and accepted the prompts. But, in theory, they could have collected some data, according to Bochs.

If you're asking about the colors in the screenshot.. That's from the lolcat command: if you pipe any text into it, you get the color gradient.

I created a QSystemTrayIcon python application just to trigger xcowsay to make a cow give me random quotes, we all have our rabbit-holes :')

Title: Comparative Analysis of Flatulence Incidents Involving Horses and Dogs: An Examination of Fart Exposure Rates

Abstract: This comprehensive study investigates the fascinating phenomenon of fart exposure rates among various animal species, focusing primarily on horses and dogs as the principal subjects of interest. Through meticulous data collection and analysis, we present compelling evidence that supports the assertion that horses experience a disproportionately higher frequency of fart exposure compared to other animals, including their closest competitors: dogs. Our findings shed light on the intricate interplay between anatomical factors, environmental conditions, and social dynamics that contribute to these variations in fart exposure rates.

Introduction: While the topic of flatulence has often been approached with humor, this study endeavors to provide a scientific lens through which to examine the prevalence of fart exposure among animals. Horses and dogs, due to their widespread domestication and close interaction with humans, emerge as ideal subjects for this investigation. By comparing their fart exposure rates, we aim to identify potential factors that contribute to the observed differences, thereby unraveling the complexities of this underexplored facet of interspecies interactions.

Methodology: To comprehensively analyze fart exposure rates among horses, dogs, and other animals, we employed an innovative cross-sectional survey approach. Data were collected through surveys administered to veterinarians, pet owners, and animal caregivers, supplemented by direct observations of animal behavior. Participants were asked to recall and document instances of fart exposure involving various animals over a specified timeframe. The collected data were then subjected to rigorous statistical analysis to determine patterns and correlations.

Results: Our study yielded compelling evidence indicating that horses indeed experience a higher frequency of fart exposure compared to other animals, including dogs. Statistical analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference in fart exposure rates between horses and dogs (p < 0.05). Horses were found to be subjected to fart exposure at a rate approximately 1.5 times higher than dogs, solidifying their position as the primary recipients of this phenomenon.

Discussion: The disparities in fart exposure rates between horses and dogs can be attributed to a combination of anatomical, physiological, and environmental factors. The distinct digestive systems of horses, characterized by their large gut fermenters status, likely contribute to their higher propensity for gas production. Additionally, the size and social dynamics of equine groups, along with their frequent human interaction, may heighten the likelihood of fart exposure incidents.

Conclusion: In this pioneering study, we have successfully demonstrated that horses indeed receive a greater share of fart exposure compared to dogs and other animals. The implications of these findings extend beyond humor, revealing the intricate web of factors that shape interspecies interactions and contribute to the dissemination of gaseous emissions. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of animal behavior and anatomy, a deeper understanding of fart exposure rates among different species may pave the way for more nuanced perspectives on animal welfare, social dynamics, and digestive physiology.

Ha ha fellow human, you joke. Why would you ask, nothing to see here, I'm completely human. Nothing suspicious at all.

I wasn't very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I've been a long time infinity user. I can't give a fair comparison since I haven't given sync too much of a chance, but here's what I like about infinity:

• FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
• nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
• multiple account support
• dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
• fairly stable

Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!

Me wishing there were public bidets in the US and feeling dirty when I use non-bidets in an emergency.

It kept crashing randomly for me.

I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we're all Reddit refugees I presume).

I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn't the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn't very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn't appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.

I'd used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
