We call that Arch.

Tildes has been well known to be a trash pile from its earliest days.

You’re looking at the full mc package rather than just mcedit. Even then, Midnight Commander is absolutely worth that whopping 7.9MB of space it takes for all the functionality it provides.

Openwrt is not an example to use to compate against a package size, as it’s target built to fit into small firmware storage spaces on all sorts of random hardware. That’s comparing existential philosophy with oranges.

Would you download a car?

The only Dad advice you nerds need:

mcedit from the Midnight Commander (mc) tool is the superior text editor.

I don’t even run arch, btw.

Looks more like you are interested in more influence power, and control for yourself.

What qualifies you to be in a leadership position that directly affects content control?

Your instances are not being used the way you wanted, so you propose structural and organizational changes that, suprise, benefit your administrative influence from your instances.

You’re so focused on the details of your solution, you don’t seem to be holding or acknowledging any objective perspectives.

We are truly living in a time.

OH LOOK A CONF FILE TO EDIT.

Full circle, bitches.

VOTES ARE ALREADY PUBLIC.

If you are using Lemmy because you want privacy, you’ve already missed the boat, everything is wide assed open for datamining and advertising fingerprinting.

I’d hoped for an open system with open APIs and open implementations that allow everyone equal access to the system and bring equal accountability.

If people just want Reddit style fiefdoms with no real public accountability possible, then make a blackjack and hookers fork.

I’m really not interested in a system that bakes in more authoritarian secrecy and control, which could very well be an unexpected outcome of backlash to how this has been presented.

What do you use, sand?

Just think of strings as the objects.

Bash already existed

Those are rookie numbers son, you gotta get on that.

You need to update your ISO.

Well, now they just make you throw out the old Mac hardware and buy new for $1299 (8gb RAM lol) because it’s now out of support for the latest MacOS and the newest versions of Adobe Suite/MS Office/insert productivity work related proprietary software suite here is on board with Apple’s bullshit and won’t run on older MacOS versions.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I’ll argue that crocodile tears deserve downvotes, as do bullies.

Im pro jewish, Im pro Israeli, but im so anti-injustice that I’m willing to stand up to anyone pushing for or acting as a pro-war Israel supporter, or jewish as an Israeli identity when it comes to being prowarfare, when they still support what has quickly evolved into a politically strategic genocide against palestinians. Hamas deserved what it got in the immediate aftermath of October 7, but after 2 weeks then 3 weeks then a month then 2 months it showed that despite all of Israels’ military and civilian efforts of having an experienced security apparatus steeped in information warfare and threat containment, they didnt have the effective strategic competence to actually wipe out Hamas without having to constantly murder civilians.

But they went ahead and kept on fucking killing.

So now, they keep moving goal posts for any chance of peace. Its not a new strategy, but it has far more violent consequences and only further spreads fervor for more violence. Peace begets peace. One side doesn’t get to play that against the other like a ping pong match and expect objective obervers to fall for either side’s propaganda.

This is all revenge without justice now.

Take your foot off the throttle.

What if I told you you can make a backup of a config file and edit a single line in a conf file, all with a single line of bash?

sudo cp config.conf config.conf.bak.$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S") && sed -i 's/^\(CONFIG_NAME\s*=\s*\).*/\1new_value/' config.conf

Yeah, totally.

Just imagine trying to do this with Windows Powershell, without a package manager like chocolatey to make it simple like linux…

$workdir = "c:\installer\"

If (Test-Path -Path $workdir -PathType Container)

{ Write-Host "$workdir already exists" -ForegroundColor Red}

ELSE

{ New-Item -Path $workdir  -ItemType directory }

$source = "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US"

$destination = "$workdir\firefox.exe"

if (Get-Command 'Invoke-Webrequest')

{

     Invoke-WebRequest $source -OutFile $destination

}

else

{

    $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

    $webclient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)

}

Start-Process -FilePath "$workdir\firefox.exe" -ArgumentList "/S"

Start-Sleep -s 35

rm -Force $workdir/firefox*

Always have, and always will! /waves old man cane around in a threatening manner

Don’t try to fuckin understand me, just let me escape from reality, ain’t nobody telling me what to do, or what not to do, this is my life, this is my computer, so…

It was a tongue in cheek joke, calm yourself, this isnt reddit.

But it’s also a valid, if cheeky, point that it wasnt really a fresh from scratch effort.

NT was written from scratch

You mean OS/2 3.0?

When development started in November 1989, Windows NT was to be known as OS/2 3.0, the third version of the operating system developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM.
