Gonna make a new shell / terminal emulator that behaves more like graphical text interfaces. Kinda tired of having to rewire my muscle memory between the terminal and GUIs. I want `ctrl+z` to do an undo when I'm typing text instead of whatever arcane shortcut bash uses.
As part of this experiment I will try to rely on a local #LLM called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B instead of duckduckgo as much as is practical. Though I think I need to tune it with the repos I usually refer to for code.
finally touching my computer after not using it for a week.
going to try to do a little bit of coding for fun before I get back into work mode.
using this track as a way to get back in the zone: https://soundcloud.com/vlindervos/op-dreef
Ugh 😤 ip command is the most significant change in Linux since they deprecated the ifconfig, a standard command on unix-like systems such as macOS, freebsd, and others. Check out my ip command guide https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-command-examples-usage-syntax/ for more info.
This is going to get interesting.

@stablehorde_generator @atax1a it's amazing seeing all these pop up on my feed 🤟

Don’t accept the chauvinistic tradition that labels our era the age of mammals. This is the age of arthropods.They outnumber us by any criterion – by species, by individuals, by prospects for evolutionary continuation.
OMG it's smaller than an amoeba!
I'm screaming!!
They lay their eggs inside of the eggs of 1-2mm long crop pests.
And... read the article to see what the males are like... they are even smaller somehow, but it's ... disturbing.

@jonny I was playing multiplayer stardew valley with my partners and I couldn't stop thinking about how they must have had to refactor to a client server model and how that would explain certain bugs. I think I wanted to read the source code more than I've felt hunger or other human urges in ages.
Finding a new job is not going to be easy, after six years of corporate bullshit I just can't anymore. If you need a very experienced Kotlin/Android dev, but don't do any AI/Blockchain/Tracking/Ad stuff let me know.
Looking at my own default algorithmic feed, I see 50% posts about nikki haley, 25% hot takes about electoral politics, and then ~10% of high follow accounts posting whatever, ~10% (delightful) shitposts. It's hard for me to summarize my fedi feed because every post is about a wildly different thing, there are definitely clusters from someone boosting a lot of things rapidfire, but yeah very much a mix. It used to be true that most of the fedi just talked about computers or (delightful) indecipherable trans stuff, but that has definitely changed.
I do think there is something missed by not having 'my friends see similar things to me and so we have a shared information diet' but i do not think that making it so everyone sees the same thing is the answer to that.
@GayDeceiver Third one is very cool. Gets into family dynamics and this time Branch learns how to connect to his feelinvs and be vulnerable with Poppy 🥰
@GayDeceiver Which one are you on? I just marathoned all the movies and holiday specials today :P First holiday special id the best IMO
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
