Pretty sure that’s what he gave as punishment for eating of the forbidden tree.

You beat me to it by 3 minutes. That’s exactly what this reminded me of.

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

That intro and general structure (AI loves bulleted lists but then again so do I) sure sound like a lot of the responses I’ve gotten. As always, it’s hard to say for sure.

I’m assuming this is meant as “Steve is looking down on them with pride” and have absolutely no idea why you’re downvoted.

Good to know. I’ll set that up once I can actually log in. I haven’t messed with my account in years but I definitely would have used something else if it’d been available when I set up.

Oh I definitely use that everywhere I can. I have a few yubikey and use AndOTP everywhere I can. But a few places refuse to do anything but sms.

I’ve done both and it’s possible my virtual therapy sessions were an outlier but I’d strongly recommend at least starting with in-person. I just didn’t find virtual anywhere near as effective as face to face with another person.

A disease doesn’t know or care that it’s a disease. If the host is being harmed it’s going to naturally fight back. Sorry, E. Coli, you’re just not welcome whether or not you’ve grown accustomed to the host.

Lazy marketing of a climate conference that honestly seems to have no real legitimacy at the moment, so no real need to cover it unless paid to cover it?

To play the opposite team a bit here, I like the idea Android uses of Intents for something like this. I think it falls apart a bit in reality because app companies kinda want you in their garden and so don’t often do the work to keep things interoperable. That and the use cases from users on phones don’t frequently involve cross app functionality. But the ability is powerful for apps to say “my app needs a user photo” or one of my faves “my app needs a pgp provider (for the password store app)” and then let the other app do that piece of functionality as determined by the OS, which tracks a lot of those providers and lets the user decide which to use.

Generally I would agree that anything can be made with a GUI with enough investment. But the point where diminishing returns don’t give enough return on GUI investment are reached much sooner than a scriptable shell environment where a power user can extend it in ways that would only make sense for that power user or a very small number of users.

That’s just not true. Not without lots of hand waving.

In my terminal I can, and pretty much hourly do, combine many programs in chains of input and output to perform specific tasks and get information I need. And that’s how these programs are designed to be used. The programmer builds it to do specific things and then the user can combine the program with others in novel and nearly endless ways.

With a GUI, sometimes that’s possible between two programs if you can copy/paste between them but it’s much less reusable and a lot more tedious. But usually it’s just not possible because they’re designed for specific user personas and not as general purpose tools that may be part of a script.

A GUI makes simple things simple.

A shell makes hard things possible.

World politics are like onions.

What, they stink?

Ye – no!

They make you cry?

Why use lot words when logo do trick?

I’ve used one for podcasts, definitely. But even for music, they may be poor quality generally but they’re significantly better than a phone speaker, and much better than a phone speaker ten feet away through glass or plastic.
