There's always nushell. It's fairly new, not quite to 1.0 yet (0.96.1 at time of writing), but the constant breaking changes seemed to have stopped. It hits all your points and it's quite fun to use when writing scripts. Bonus that it's also pretty much tailor-made to manipulate data.

I got a text from my sister that I NEED to try it and that it's better than Stardew, so from her she highly recommends it! I might give it a whirl later once I have more time

This is the first time I'm hearing about tildeverse and it seems cool as hell. Going to sign up.
It's really neat! Fairly active and cool CLI things to do on it. I also have an account on cosmic.voyage but haven't had time to really write more, unfortunately :/
Also it would be a shame if those emails ended up on some left wing mailing lists. :shrug:
They used one of those auto-generating anonymous emails (eg guerilla mail) so pointless if my fingers somehow copied their email... damn shame

I've just gotten a lot pickier as I've gotten older. It doesn't help that I haven't had a ton of time in recent years to really play much, but I've noticed most games don't really have anything interesting like they used to.
I blame capitalism. It seems video games are following Hollywood's plan on rehashing things, uninspired sequels, and just trying to make the most profit at the expense of quality.

Good. The dev world is still stained with a lot of libertarian bros who only think of themselves and try to hide behind "just focus on the code!", thinking it'll excuse right-wing behavior

It would probably work, but the accounts we shared before were Hulu and Disney+, none of which were "my" original accounts. So having to go through the hassle of showing family members VPNs and setting them up wouldn't be worth it compared to just pirating.
The biggest loss to cutting streaming services is mostly discovery of finding some random show/film to watch. If you're going to torrent something, you have to know what you want first. It doesn't bother me much, but it's kind of a bummer when you want to just put something on.

I recently upgraded my home "streaming" setup from an aging RPi3 connected running OSMC off of an NFS share drive from my local server to running Jellyfin directly from the server and connecting to it via the Jellyfin app on my Roku stick
With the crackdown on password sharing, the family accounts are dwindling so the pirating has increased again. Keeping Netflix for now and Shudder as I'm a horror fan, but otherwise everything else is 🏴☠️

Scenes when PSL win the election with all eligible electoral votes
reddit 😬 > These companies are deeply embedded with the state security services of the U.S. government, which direct the flow of content moderation for their own agendas. Twitter, for instance, “directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.”8 The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, in partnership with Stanford University, made “specific recommendations” on how companies like Facebook, TikTok, Youtube and Reddit “should censor” posts.”9 > > Even more, one report noted: “Facebook has recruited dozens of individuals from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as many more from other agencies like the FBI and Department of Defense (DoD). These hires are primarily in highly politically sensitive sectors such as trust, security and content moderation…TikTok is flooded with NATO officials…former FBI agents abound at Twitter, and…Reddit is led by a former war planner for the NATO think tank, the Atlantic Council.”10

Apple.
I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn't Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.
At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn't make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn't be happier.

Rio's been hitting some astronomical temps so it makes sense, but it would definitely suck if this was your show. It's only postponed until Monday at least and despite the last-minute delay, better to be safe than risk more injury or even death :/
> Join BreakThrough News for our LIVE on-the-ground coverage of the National March on Washington to demand a free Palestine. This historic action is being cosponsored by ANSWER Coalition, The Peoples Forum, Palestinian Youth Movement, Al-Awda (The Palestinian Right to Return Coalition), American Muslim Alliance, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, US Palestinian Community Network, Palestinian Feminist Collective, Maryland to Palestine, Palestinian-American Community Center, and National Students for Justice in Palestine.
Rice University in Houston, TX, partnering with the Baker Institute, organized a gala of war criminals which included Hillary Clinton & Henry Kissinger, for "a conversation on foreign policy", all the while a continuing genocide is being carried out in Gaza. The PSL joined forced with Students of Justice in Palestine and other organizations to protest the actions of these imperialists. Here's the [direct instagram link](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy6MSXzgqnY/) in case the Proxigram frontend is down. > Yesterday we joined with the students of Rice University and other community organizations to protest a gala celebrating war criminals Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton, and James A. Baker and Israel. For ticket prices ranging from $1,500 to $100,000, attendees could hear these architects of war and destruction talk about "raising a meaningful voice", the event's theme. While Gaza is under siege, the university chooses to platform criminals and intimidate students on the side of justice. Rice students and the community will not sit quietly as our people are pawns in the war games of the elite. We say NO MORE! End all US aid to Israel! End the siege on Gaza now! #freepalestine
As someone who uses Twilio, I'm not sure how far this would go as blatant censorship. I've already sent messages on there with `Palestine` in the message body and my account is still active, but it could be that they're just implementing filters at a different level. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Ah yes, the "unexplainable" wage gap. There's definitely no concrete reasoning behind it, absolutely not!

It's an incoherent mess, I was just compelled to share my misfortune with lemmygrad when I found it (sorry lol). And I briefly thought of refuting all the shit he spewed, but honestly my time is better spent doing anything else!

I adore Void; it's been my daily driver for about 5-6 years now. Simple, fast, easy to configure, and the Void Handbook does a great job of detailing Void-specific items that you wouldn't necessarily be able to find in the Arch Wiki, for example.
the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well
xbps
is incredible and very fast, but if you're having trouble remembering the commands or just don't want to have to type the chain, I'd recommend looking at vpm
. It's a very apt-like way to manage it e.g. vpm update
vs xbps-install -Su
and vpm search <package>
vs xbps-query -Rs <package>

Genmai Cha is a staple for me, I'll always have that around. Other than that I usually have two or three oolongs (Formosa and Jade right now), a black or two, and a few other greens. Really love the Jasmine Pearls I have right now too

There's a huge difference between expanding the Fediverse and allowing it to grow organically vs allowing communication with an entity as large and insidious as Meta, which Eugen doesn't seem to get.
There are comparisons to be made between Meta adopting ActivityPub for its new social media platform and Meta adopting XMPP for its Messenger service a decade ago. There was a time when users of Facebook and users of Google Talk were able to chat with each other and with people from self-hosted XMPP servers, before each platform was locked down into the silos we know today. What would stop that from repeating? Well, even if Threads abandoned ActivityPub down the line, where we would end up is exactly where we are now. XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.
This is the most ridiculous part to me. If Meta get to the point of locking people out and created a walled-garden separate from the Fedi, it's because they accomplished their goal of taking users and content away. And until they reach that goal, the Fediverse would be harmed by the outpouring of shit, spam, corporate product placement, ✨influencers✨ etc. that plague mainstream social media. Also XMPP was disallowed growth because of Google abandoning it, and that would happen here as well.
I just hope that most instances out of principal block them, but it isn't looking so great.

It's great to see AES countries beginning to adopt Linux and FOSS, even if it's approached less from an ideological standpoint of FOSS == socialism
and more from staying away from proprietary Western technology (Microsoft, Apple). If it's solely the latter, that's still the correct course of action.
"What's happening to Russian open-source developers gave a warning sign to Chinese developers," one user commented on knowledge-sharing website Zhihu.com, referring to many software makers being blocked from the open-source community just because they are Russian or not supporting Ukraine. "Software without borders is just a dream that will never come true, and China needs to build its own open-source community." ... "This new version signifies that we have gained the ability to lead the OS' development by ourselves," Zhu said. "I hope more users will try our new version and give us feedback."
This is great to hear!
