I’m in the “been working with Linux since the 90s” gang so I call vim vi and nano pico and when I started there was a coolness factor to be considered. I was incredibly uncool so I used whatever I wanted, including pico - I mean you used pine for email back in the day and the interface was nearly identical, so whatever.

But I did want to be at least a tiny bit cooler, so I learned vi in a fairly rudimentary fashion. I can edit, jump, delete, search, replace, copy and paste - oh, and I can exit. I’ve spent so much time using vi, that my brain doesn’t even have to think about exiting, not even whether I want to write or not. It just happens like second nature. It’s actually gotten to where nano seems unduly burdensome to me.

But really, I prefer an IDE for programming. CLI editors will always be for configuration files and shell scripts to me.

They need to be taxed 100% until they are no longer billionaires (or, even better, run out of the country because they want to dodge said taxes). Any country that values its autonomy better take fucking heed.

These review services should create a score based on your reviews that you have to maintain. In a 5-star system, that would be a 3. If the sum of all the stars you have awarded divided by the number of reviews you have published falls below 3, then you can only submit reviews that will bring that score up, until it is back to 3, then you can do whatever you want again. This will encourage users to think more carefully about shit they use that they like as much as shit the use that they don’t like and that works better for everybody.

Say what again! I dare you. I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more goddamn time!

Oh man, I hope they do the hell out of this.

One billionaire uses more water than every home in Los Angeles combined. To grow almonds. 80% of which are for export.

10% of all of Arizona’s water goes to grow alfalfa for cows in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

We’re in a drought, sure, but it could be mitigated, if the capitalist class and their lackey politicians actually gave a fuck - but they do not appear to.

Huh. I kind of liked it. I’ve only seen a few episodes, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but Phoebe particularly cracked me up.

Holy shit now I know why John Cena always seemed so familiar!

If you primarily read it on a desktop or laptop, which I think a lot of old.reddit users do, it’s just better. Same reason I use old.lemmy: improved readability, more compact, less wasted/whitespace, less scrolling, it’s just easier to consume.

Oh I don’t disagree, just that the first two seasons had a significant amount of cringe that smooths out by season 3.

As with most shows, the first couple seasons are the weakest, but the show overall is just fantastic. It’s a must-see for scifi fans.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect. I don’t know why I tried to pull one over on you. It’s ridiculous to imagine that users with the names “AgentSeven” and “Supervisor194” would be in any way related.

Sure, although I would phrase it I think a bit more pointedly: “it has become impossible to tell managers mesmerized by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, capable of what they imagine they are capable of.”

This points, rightly, at it being a failure on the part of the managers - not artificial intelligence. And God knows that’s spot fucking on.

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful.

This is stupid. The tools are helpful. Overhyped? Sure. But to pretend they are in no way helpful is just wrong.

I just moved to lemmy.zip from dbzer0 and before that, world, mainly because I want to be the one blocking, I don’t want my instance to block for me. I must not be subscribed to the right places, because I just don’t see a whole lot of CCP/RUS apologia? I’m pretty good at passing over shit I know I won’t agree with though, so it might just not be registering.

Yeah, ‘tied with 2017’ and this is supposed to be news. The only news here is that 30% of the electorate remain idiots. I’m kind of dead curious to see what the world would have to look like for them to gain even the tiniest shred of awareness. Unfortunately, we might actually get the chance.

I apologize, I meant Thomas Massie.

Now then: go fuck yourself, asshole.

In order to get the war powers resolution to fail, Fetterman had to vote with them. If Mitch were declared dead, a special election would have had to have been held and anyone could have run in it. Tommy Tuberville Thomas Massie would have run, split the Republican vote and a Democrat could/would have taken the seat and that resolution would not have failed. Let’s not pretend the Republicans aren’t engaging in fraud on purpose. They are. They know precisely what they are doing and they need to be held accountable. But they’re on a very long list in that regard.

I’m sure it’s fine. Without question it’s had to be reinforced, probably several times over. I’ve walked into places like the oldest bar in North America and been like “wow, sagging and leaning joists that actually make me nervous but I can see they’ve bolted numerous steel plates to it all” - this stuff has to be certified safe by the jurisdiction, so it’s not as bad as it might seem to look at it.
