Cool page, it lists a bunch of compelling arguments. It's always good to see more and more people realising these things and start insisting on actual ownership. Meanwhile, did you…

Why would you ask me that? I'm not the one who called it "your machine's home directory"

Point of pedantry: > The ignore file lives in your machine’s home directory in ~/.config/git/ignore. Whatever filenames are added to this file are ignored globally at a machine-lev…

"It is an essential part of the plot, foreseen from the outset"

Yeah, when I first opened the page, there were 0 DOS games visible.

Well hi there chatgpt! I wonder if the person who couldn't be bothered writing this article actually had a point they wanted to make? I don't know because I stopped reading as soon…

I second GP's sentiment. That debugger was amazing . I've never seen anything that can touch it to this day. Tell you more: you could also just run code to do things like change va…

You don't know that. I wish I was kidding.

Yes, yes, this is all very clever and funny and whatnot. I chuckled. Well done you. ...But has it occurred to you that by putting this online and publicising it, you're effectively…

That's very, very cool. I especially like selecting files with wildcards. And also the amiga-like view with different sized icons <3

(1/2) > it would be odd to just support a handful of formats. Any format should be supported, then. Furthermore, it shouldn't be just a static preview. I also want to navigate arou…

I'll skip all the parts where you don't understand my point, or where you're just saying nonsense, and jump right to the heart of the thing (other than "you don't get it"): > I mea…

Oh nice! How did I not know it works with caca?!

another fun one if you're in an exotic situation and don't have a framebuffer (or if you just want to have some fun by making your games to look worse): export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=aali…

yep! and ffplay will detect your situation and run on the framebuffer if that seems appropriate. I'm sure there's arguments to explicitly tell it to do that, but I've never used th…

This is exactly right - you can get a framebuffer on just about anything, including pretty much any video card made since about 1990, and also more fun things like the little i2c d…

Please link me to the python3 gtk2 library so that I can migrate all my python2 gtk2 software to python3 without rewriting the entire UI. Thanks in advance!

> my new rewrite of efm (e's built-in filemanagger) also has a terminal-like worklflow. i can literally in the efm window type "ls ./dir" and it will liteally change to that dir an…

(2/2) > it's there while I'm releasing the Enter key This is empirically, demonstrably untrue, because the "launch application" action does not begin until the "key release" event …

(lol, split for length, 1/2) > But how often do I spontaneously need previews of something? I don't know. Or care. I use it a bunch. Maybe you're conditioned not to do that because…
