Man, I’d settle for something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for a shit box with terrible range half the year when it goes under freezing temps…

Honestly, it’s just another shell. Both Bash and ZSH happen to be mostly POSIX compliant, so stuff that works for Bash tends to work with ZSH too. For me it’s mostly just about the stuff I can add to it - I use the antidote plugin manager to get additional autocomplete, syntax highlighting, suggestions, async prompt updates, that kind of thing.

The answer is very location dependent, and often multifaceted. However here in Canada it’s a combination of neglecting affordable housing construction for decades, a huge uptick in immigration raising demand in some areas, a total lack of political willpower (most of our MPs report housing income, many actual landlords), and an economy that’s over-leveraged on real estate in general.

Yeah, it’s a good shell. I’ve found the lack of compatibility with some bash tools to be inconvenient enough that I just went back to zsh and found alternatives for the parts that I liked about it. Works well enough for me.

I feel you. It’s however gotten a lot better since I turned some of these commands into abbreviations. They’re aliases that expands in place, more or less. Fish has them natively, I personally use zsh-abbr.

Hah, for me, this broke down in the middle of my degree lol

Mostly VR stuff, in the recent weeks. Specifically Golf+ since the IRL golf season is over and I’m sad about it, and I’ve been slowly getting into Elite Dangerous.

Nothing screams “small government” like provincial overreach into municipal politics, amirite

Ardour is indeed pretty good. I’m a Reaper guy, which is incidentally available on Linux as well nowadays, so on the DAW and audio interface front, I’m all covered. If anything, my older 2i4 runs slightly more stable over Linux/Pipewire than it does on Windows with the official driver. I’m more on the composition/production side of things (amateur, although I do have a very small amount of professional experience), it’s mostly the amp sim and virtual instruments landscapes that left me on my appetite a bit last time I tried. There just weren’t many option and they all frankly sounded like crap. Maybe that got better since then, I don’t know hehe.

It’s more about it being a Marxist Leninist instance lol

Huh. I’ve tried the Ardour and stuff way for a while. I’m curious what kind of stuff you’re producing. I tried for a while, but IME the good effects, and ESPECIALLY virtual instruments, were very few and far between. This and VR gaming are the two things I still have a Windows machine for.

I have to admit - coming from a lemmy.ml user, this made me chuckle.

The place I used to work at had a bunch of people speaking various South and North Indian languages, Vietnamese, Swedish, French, English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I’d have spent my whole days on Google Translate lol

I’m French speaking, but I write all code and comments in English, all the time. The code is basically English keywords and symbols, the mix and match just looks weird, makes it harder to share snippets for help or debugging with non-speakers. Especially in code that will be read by other people after the fact, it also tends to make it less likely that this person will be able to understand it - maybe they’ll hire an offshore team or some guy who just immigrated…

Oh, I believe you. It’s most likely because of the shared Latin root. The comment I was responding to was in English, though.

The “Sol” name is actually more of a science-fiction, pop-culture thing. It’s just called “the Sun”. “Solar” comes from latin Solaris, meaning “pertaining to the sun”, “sol” itself meaning “sun”.

Not a particular technology, but I really had a little bit of hope that we’d be able to tackle climate change like we tackled ozone depletion due to CFCs/HCFCs/HFCs with the Montreal Protocol.

I try not to judge, but I’m also utterly confused as to why the parents wouldn’t immediately have brought the child in for the shot after finding the bat, visible bite or not…

I don’t correlate much from job count. I have had 5 in the last 8 years, two of those following layoffs. Shit happens.

I never timed it up precisely, but on my desktop with an MSI board, it sometimes feels like I’m waiting longer for the board to get past the UEFI into the bootloader than for the whole OS to load off my m.2…
