Odometer readings

I'm a nerd. I know vaguely what RCS is because I had a discussion in 2019 with a friend about it. Do I have it? Do I use it? I have no idea. Is it an app or just a protocol that happens behind the scenes? I would assume the latter. My phone's a few years old, isn't everyone's? Probably that means I don't have it. No way to tell and I'm not going to bother trying to find out.

I'm so much more technical than most people btw

What? Stack overflow is still very relevant. I don't even know what bubble you're in if you think it isn't.

Honestly confused by your comment.

These dudes look like we've just walked in on them kissing

American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years

What the fuck is this bullshit. This is the opposite of what has happened.

These things look beautiful though

I was using sus as a kid 30 years ago. I'm quite confused by how it's apparently a gen Z thing

The 'all' in your comment makes this incredibly easy to refute. I am a Christian and I believe sexism, racism, slavery and genocide are all deal breakers. Frankly I'm not sure if you've met any actual Christians.

The Bible makes it really clear that not everyone who calls themselves a Christian should be considered one. Have a look at Matthew 7:1-5 and also especially verse 21:

"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

Lots of modern 'Christians' may have never considered that that verse might apply to them.

How can it not be true though? Terminal shines when you chain together more than one operation.

Imagine doing this in a GUI: list the files in a large directory, ignore the ones with underscores in them, find the biggest file, read the last 1000 lines from it and count the number of lines containing a particular string.

Thats a couple of pretty straightforward commands in a terminal, could take 30s for an experienced terminal user. Or the same task could take many minutes of manual effort stuffing round with multiple GUI applications.

I'm certain that I do tasks like that (ad hoc ones, not worth writing dedicated software for) tens of times in a typical work day. And I have no idea how GUI users can be even remotely productive.

"and so" is perfectly valid as a conjunction for implying causation. "Thus" would be a synonym. It fits better than "and also" which doesn't imply causation and so isn't the right word.

Also see Antimatter Dimensions, another amazing game in the long idle genre. Highly addictive to a certain sort of brain (mine)

How do you get Firefox to redirect all YT links to Piped? Please share

If those shelf brackets are fixed in place and screwed in with two screws above each other that's probably enough diagonal bracing for lightweight use, considering it'll normally be screwed into a wall too. The fact that theres no horizontal bracing at floor level might be a bigger issue — those feet will be easily bent/broken

What other authors have high clever-remark ratings, in your experience? Because I find myself near the end of the Discworld series and want to continue with something similarly engaging. Basically, the opposite of what you requested :)

This looks amazing. There aren't enough RTS games being made

I don't understand why people are just taking it for granted that everyone's watching youtube.

I've watched maybe a video a month on youtube for the last decade. It's a noisy loud messy platform and I don't understand what people enjoy about it.

I watch Netflix a bit and at least the shows there are actual produced shows and not just some bullshit some teenager made up in their spare time. Even if a lot of them are still trash there's a much higher signal:noise ratio than on youtube.

So my solution is: just don't use youtube? And obviously use an ad blocker or piped.video if you do occasionally visit it.

I've kind of always wanted to use AdNauseum, but since I still depend on my Google account somewhat I'm hesitant to give them reasons to delete me, and I've settled for blocking ads and supporting rival services.

Has anyone had their google account banned over this?

Maybe in modern media. He's definitely not portrayed as an equal or opposite to God in the bible. He's just another angel

You can delete a word in a terminal? Is this zsh specific or is there a bash equivalent?

Terminal user for 20 years, never heard of this.

Braid - such a beautiful masterpiece of a game Portal 1 & 2, especially now that 1 has RTX re-release Half-life 2 and the episodes Factorio Rimworld
