I actually used to do single dots in my own file/folder names. It’s probably my favorite way visually, since it’s a minimal separator and as you showed it works without a separator at all.

oh yeah. There are numerous benefits to the format itself, outside the question of hyphens vs slashes.

I find the sortability quite satisfying, but also as somebody living in the US, I also like that it’s unambiguous regardless of my audience. Hell, half the time I see people hand-write a date on something they don’t even use a year.

Oh they’ll give “answers” alright. They could just be wrong or untethered from reality.

Yep and it needs to use hyphens and not slashes. It helps avoid missed typos or mis-reads in some situations, especially if hand-written.

Maximum tip-to-tip efficiency or it’s back to apprenticeship with you!

Go after the companies

Sir this is a Merica.

That quote makes it sound like he really understands why the users might not want him to destroy reddit.

Which also makes it sound like he is fully aware of his own conscious choice to destroy what could be a valuable resource for millions of people just so his sorry little ass can get slightly richer than he would have already been.

It would be nice to be able to consider more asian brands than just japanese and korean when next replacing a car and ignoring everything American.

usenet + fediverse = that good internet you been looking for.

This probably isn’t common for a lemmy linux nerd, but I have spent a few grand on lumber over the past two years for various projects.

I bet one could build a properly superior hobby-sized siege engine for a total budget of $1000!

The fediverse isn’t worth saving after all.

The fediverse shouldn’t need A savior. It should be its own thing that no one person can control or stop.

Maybe this… Maybe this is the fediverse healing? 🥹

But then you are treated to the ultimate satisfaction of “YOUR SOUND CARD WORKS PERFECTLY”

An executive whose job it is to increase profits by systematically denying care to vulnerable people. (which also causes death, and more of it)

I’m a medicated ADHDer and I treat coffee like just yet another medication.

I was never a coffee drinker (or medicated in general) until my 40s. But now I literally prepare myself a cup of coffee in the morning and at lunch time, the same times I take my adderall. The combination is working great, even if it doesn’t fix everything.

I agree with you, and I think weed really helped me even though I’m not using any right now.

Sometimes it’s extremely beneficial to be chemically pushed into a good mood and satisfied with just existing, when otherwise existence just seems to be misery and pain.

But it is not a permanent fix. It’s a band-aid while you find more permanent ways to improve your life. But band-aids can hurt to take off when you’re done with them.

Yeah. It would be sweet to live in a world that doesn’t keep proving the cynics and doomsayers correct.

That’s kind of an accurate way to describe a lot of society these days though, from doomscrolling to phone addiction to social media disinformation to surveillance and tracking and advertising.

One of the beautiful things about being able to run Linux at work and use Teams in a browser is that my status is decoupled from what I’m doing on my machine. Obviously if I’m in a meeting or chatting with somebody through Teams my status will reflect that.

I bet my most productive days have me away/idle for hours on end, lol.

I’m right there with you, but the OP mentions social media, and that’s all that shit is.

Our society has allowed the way many people keep in touch with one another to be via psychologically manipulative, attention harvesting, advertising machines.

I did already get myself some Surface Shield which is exactly that kind of lanolin based protectant, after also reading about some of the more hardcore stuff like POR-15 that I’d worry could trap water or hide damage.

I’ve used it a bit on my car near where I have some wheels removed to work on the brakes, and tried it on some garden tools.

Impressions are very good and I totally plan to cover the underside of my car with this stuff when finishing up work on it. Just not the exhaust I imagine.
