If I was a JS programmer, I’d just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.

That one was hard. I had to keep reading it aloud for about half an hour…
Wow, that’s super useful! I don’t have thousands of hosts, but even with a dozen, it would save me so much time. Why have I never thought of doing this? Thanks for the idea! (now I just need a few lonely evenings configuring the thing)
What did they automate? I’m trying to get some ideas for my Neov… uhhhh… Emacs with evil-mode setup.
I swear there is an XKCD for that
Noob. I prefer to use a screwdriver to poke around the CPU and memory lanes
Agreed, but I am more of a “Shift + I” kind of guy
Everyone has been polarised into an “Us vs Them” mindset. Keep us divided and channeling our collective rage at each other, lest we actually find power in our overwhelming numbers. It hurts.
I’m ready to get downvoted, but this is exactly the reason I’m incredibly sceptical about any conflicts going on, including wars. I just think the possibility of the “two sides” working together just to polarize society is too goddamn high. But of course, as soon as you bring a subject like this into a discussion, you immediately get bombarded with the “you are against my idea so you’re an extremist” kind of vocabulary… For example: “Omg you’re pro-russian” - meanwhile I volunteer to help Ukrainian people, but I guess I love Russia when I do that. Shit’s wild…
As a fellow cli junkie, I made my own script like this years ago. But I got rid of it as part of debloating my system. Whenever I want to extract something, I create a directory and move the archive there.
In this case they were still using English, with minor differences. Imagine one of the Indian externals writing an internal script that utilizes the Indian localisation. You’d have to whip out a translator or dive into the docs for a tool which you may have already used countless times and know how it works when instead, they could have simply learned the English arguments for the tool.
Nothing against people not being native speakers of English, I’m not one either. I just think that this creates more problems than it solves.
Yep, and when you try to troubleshoot shit, it all falls apart and you can’t really tell what’s going on under the hood…
Yep, this sort of behaviour translates to Windows paths also. Why would they name a directory “C:\Users\Example\Desktop”, when they can replace “Desktop” with a locale-specific name, which is not just a link to “Desktop”, but a completely different directory which breaks any scripts expecting “Desktop”.
We know MS well, their choice is clear :)
The 3 AM programming syndrome. I know it very well :D
This looks like the final layer of hell. Your coworker writes their scripts in another language and now you have to decipher what the hell they mean. Who has a problem woth English for development tools, etc.? It’s really not a monumental task to learn it, and I’m not even a native speaker.
Who is it then?
I’ve had this idea for a long time now, but I don’t know shit about LLMs. GPT can be run locally though, so I guess only the API part is needed.
Apparently you can configure KWin (the WM for KDE) to act like a tiling WM. It’s very customizable. Also, you can replace KWin with a TWM, such as i3. I remember doing this a long time ago, can’t remember how, though.
Oops, I guess all my math problems infringe a trademark. There are simply way too many things named X. Also, the X.org foundation don’t have as much money as Twitter, which makes any fight a lost cause.
So I’m not going to change it
