I just find it interesting how values about seem to correlate (with my limited data points) strongly with age. From my son and his friends, who are around your age, to my parents and their friends who are generally 85+. That’s the only reason I asked, not for some “ah, gotcha <kid, grandpa, whatever>”, just interested.
Nope, thanks for projecting though. I just didn’t mention the multi-threaded because, again, it doesn’t speed up anything. Transfer speed has always been the bottleneck, unless you’re talking about heavy data-center type use. Like I said, if it’s interesting to you, go for it. I don’t see a need to reinvent the wheel on core utilities.
I’ve had cp aliased to rsync with my flags for years. It seems like a lot of newcomers try to “fix” stuff before they really understand what’s available. Or they just like to play around with different programming languages. Which is fine, but usually it’s not really interesting to me.
How old are you? I’m just curious.
I see the shit that people send out, obvious LLM crap, and wonder how poor they must write to consider the LLM output worth something. And then wonder if the people consuming this LLM crap are OK with baseline mediocrity at best. And that’s not even getting into the ethical issues of using it.
I am NOT a power user of my phone. That said, I’ve liked YAM Launcher for a while. It is minimalist and does everything I want in a launcher.
This is certainly one of the strength/weaknesses of Lemmy. I wish there were a way to, I don’t know how to phrase it, federate the different community posts into one. So like in this case, replying to any of the three would be seen on any of the three threads. As an option at least.
I run firefox nightly from my home directory. It upgrades just about daily. I generally don’t suggest running stuff outside the package manager, but this use has never caused me issues. For years.
If you aren’t running a server, I recommend changing to testing/unstable. Unstable doesn’t mean unstable->it will crash a lot, it means the packages will be updated. More like a rolling release, aside from the window of time right before stable gets updated.
Do you have to use firefox for your pdfs? There are much better alternatives.
And I was suggesting that the middle class already pays a wealth tax as most of their wealth is in their home. I agree with OPs sentiment, but have it start above $5 million and have it pretty steeply progressive.
You’re probably right. I last read part of it for a class about 35 years ago, and I no longer trust my memory anyways.
I don’t remember it being that big of a book.
If you are in my state, it’s taxed via property tax.
Honestly, it’s been a long time, so I couldn’t tell you. I remember doing half-cabs down a five set (not impressive to anyone but me). I remember feeling disconnected, but landing crazy shit. Surfing though was a little too much. That bend and swirl, on a wave, didn’t work for me. A friend of mine really liked the experience though. I remember riding by him at Blacks in San Diego and when I paddled back out he was laughing and said,“you were going soooo fast!!” I guess it’s different for everyone.
In my experience, skateboarding (yes!). Surfing (not so much). Sitting in a park at 2am, watching the sprinklers turn on (yes!). Fucking (not so much). Giving a crazy long massage (yes!). Watch The Wall, Yellow Submarine, Wizard of OZ, et al (yes…depending on the mood at the moment).
My district office put out an annual “anonymous” survey. They just wanted location/department. I pointed out that my location had about 15 people and most departments had 1 to 2 people. Far from anonymous. They just shrugged and said to fill it out. I filled out that annual report with the most nothing, saccharine bullshit for about a decade.
Shit, yeah. I’m dumb. I’ve just grouped those together in my mind.
I remember the BeOS guys doing a demo at my LUG before they release the BeBox (or whatever their computer was called). That OS was so ahead of it’s time. There were about 200 of us just gasping at how good it was and what it could do. Actually using BeOS on a PowerPC ended up being an on ramp for me to Linux. By the time Haiku came out, life was too busy and I was too entrenched in Linux. Maybe now that I’m retired I’ll take a look at it.
