Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.
I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.
Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.
Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.
Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?
Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.
Debian and nano?
I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.
I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.
Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?
Excellent choice. You’re going places!
We accept everyone here*
Everyone who runs the correct version of Linux, except if they use the wrong text editor.
I like this better.
The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.
What’s up with the Rust hate?
The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.
They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.
I expect that’s why the internet’s been falling apart lately.
I’m sure it is.
It’s been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.
a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.
That’s particularly good.
“Blow up the damn ship, Picard!”
But really, Viola Davis’ entire performance carries the whole film and makes every important moment land.
Congratulations!
Well said. Particularly
out of a distaste for a harsh and cruel world
I want to respond (with agreement) to:
treat others as you want to be treated,"
Treat others as they ask to be treated is much better.
But I do believe that both benefit from an intentional practice of self-empathy.
I have to constantly remind myself to treat me like I treat others.
I do, as well.
I treat others. I despise myself and have great empathy for others
I said that to myself before, as well.
But I discovered my empathy for others became surprisingly more effective after I started an intentional practice of self-empathy.
but that’s certainly not universal
Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.
The golden rule does not work. What if I like to be treated like shit?
Agreed. But it is a good default place to we start.
The real skill is empathy - to understand how the other person wants to be treated.
My empathy for others became much more effective after I started practicing empathy for myself.
It was a bit eye opening, to me, to realize how much impact a practice of self-empathy made in my relationships.
Lots of folks replying don’t seem believe in self empathy.
That makes me sad.
Self empathy is the foundation of empathy toward others.
The golden rule - treat others as I want to be treated - only really became effective, for my friends, after I learned to treat myself well.
Is self empathy distinct from self pity?
Absolutely.
Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.
Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.
I don’t fit into any of these…yet
Can I interest you in Linux Mint, today?
I am joking.
Unless you want to try Linux, in which case let me (or any of us) know…
What language is the CLI written in?
Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.
I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.
This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.
That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.
I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.
If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.
Here’s to morbid curiosity!
