Exactly. Ctrl+C and hope ls isn’t completely empty.

Gonna reply instead of edit. It’s so fucking gross Tesla’s name is forever tainted now. Literally a man that dedicated himself to scientific progress over profits. He took Maxwell’s equations and scientific progress and built on them so well. I wish his name was lost to history instead of being tainted by this stupid fucking car company. RIP Nikola Tesla and the lesser known James Clerk Maxwell for their progress in these fields.

They both contributed to the progress in both Einstein’s theories in relativity and the development of quantum mechanics. Both fields of physics we still struggle to combine and understand today.

Standing on the shoulders of giants they both were. And likely some of last that could say so.

Glad you got that! Its a major point in talking about social programs. If you can see this in college programs you can see the benefit when applied to social programs as well. Not sure if I can convince you of that too. But it’s always nice to get a response of “that makes sense” in this context.

I would say this is the WORST (not really) attempt to try to connect the current American state to Nazi Germany. There are much much better comparisons when considering class conflict. I guess I’m the “idiot” and this is likely good propaganda for the “normies” in our current state. So maybe I’m out of touch in that regard. But the connections are far more important than the price of eggs.

I don’t really wanna give more here because I’m tired but for anyone that cares: Just read and you’ll get some perspective

I guess I like the simple levels of comparison but I think anyone that actually would be convinced by it needs more perspective.

And the wrong Tesla is 6ft under.

Is this how liberals fantasize about revolutionary action while still staying as milk toast as possible?

Edit: I appreciate Lemmy for the simple fact that I can use “liberal” in any sub and not be considered a conservative by default when I’m criticizing that perspective.

Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc.

Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)

alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user.

myrm() {
  trash-put "$@"
}
alias rm="myrm"

This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png”

Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin.

The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.

Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I’m forced to use windows is for work.

I have to play the “low battery” game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won’t restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I’m using for work.

I don’t care what anyone says. Updates that can’t have a forever “give me 1 more hour” indefinitely are just going to destroy work.

Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don’t care how many “warnings” there are.

I’m connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.

Not really the same. Charging for this would discourage people from using it. They have to make a choice on feeling safe vs. spending money.

This gives everyone the option and subsidizes it to the entire community.

This is exactly why socializing things like this is beneficial.

Every service has a cost. That cost is the value of the labor being provided. But we decide as a society that providing services like this benefits everyone living in society. Regardless of if they use it directly or not.

When people say “free” in this context that’s what they mean. They mean the decision based on personal finance is removed.

We don’t want people choosing personal finance over safety or health. Removing that dependency benefits everyone.

I work for Microsoft. When I had a kid they sent a “care package” with some items. But literally every item had “Microsoft” or “Met Life” (our employee life insurance I think) all over everything.

I ripped the “met life” shirt off of the snoopy plush and trashed everything else.

It’s not just limited to backpacks. They try to turn everything, even a kids blanket, into a fucking ad. It’s so gross.

You can’t send some cheap items to your employee without branding it with an ad.

I don’t work for MetLife. Why the fuck would that even be on there? I guess they want to keep reminding me to get life insurance because I’m a kid. Like, holy fuck, I hate this shit.

Fuck Microsoft. Fuck their support of genocide. I didn’t even choose to work here. They bought my startup company for pennies on the dollar during Covid.
