Ive Had Enough in my ass

(The Who)

you only need to clean your spoon

Don’t you need to clean the rice cooker?

I’m not trying to be a smartass, I’m just that desperate that I’m hoping to find out you don’t need to.

What if you want ease on a terminal?

In a professional context, you might end up on servers that don’t have nano installed, but do have vi. Or if you’re helping out a friend on their laptop, they might not have the same software as you. Or if you often end up tinkering with random devices and/or setting up new systems it might be tedious to install the same applications every time.

It’s basically an argument for learning the very basics of the most common editors so you have flexibility no matter where you end up. Even when you have the ability to download and install your preferred software, it’s still an extra step that might not be desirable for a variety of reasons. But if it’s just your own personal device, I see no problem with just installing whatever you prefer and running with it.

EDIT: Personally, I find that I don’t end up using those other editors often enough to remember the abstruse commands of tools like vim, so I’m not worried about it. When it does happen, 99% of the time I can just whip out a smartphone and look up the directions for the n-dozenth time.

I’m the same way with mushroom spots.

He used to at least be smart enough to have a good PR team, but even that has collapsed in recent years.

You can do all that without force push. Just make a new branch and do the cleanup before the first push there. Allowing force push just invites disaster from junior developers who don’t know what they’re doing. If you want to clean up after them, that’s your business, I guess.

Facts. Force push belongs in Star Wars, and nowhere else.

It’s like poetry; it rhymes.

Agreed, it was pretty good until then. But the last paragraph is what made it a great take.

If he’s young enough, he might be getting his safety net from parents or something. I could see this being viable part-time work for, e.g., college students.

Looks like Pixelfed is about 2%. Try Mastodon, I guess - it’s listed as 72%.

EDIT: lol, I just did a quick search - apparently Instagram’s monthly active user count is over two Billion. With a ‘B’. Even with 10 million, it wouldn’t compare.

Clicking through to the additional statistics is really interesting. The equivalent graph for Monthly Active Users shows a big bump in June/July 2023. That lines up with the reddit event, iirc. If those causality assumptions are accurate, it’s neat how the numbers for total users is more affected by Twitter, but the numbers for active users is more affected by Reddit.

EDIT: nevermind, I didn’t realize the timelines were different. The big Twitter exodus isn’t actually in the second graph, so they can’t be compared. It probably had a bigger impact there as well.

This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there’s a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

lol, same

Mostly the same for me. I’d still be open to it if it’s convenient, DRM-free, and easy to back up somewhere, but far less likely to put effort into finding out.

I am intrigued. Do you happen to know a good one?

I mostly just liked their sauce, but that’s not enough to justify funding hate. The oppression leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Yeah, and I don’t remember Half-life being the game that introduced the world to horse armor.
