@QasimRashid ...and the fact that Black soldiers weren't allowed to benefit from the home loan programs that white veterans got after WWII. That one always seemed to me like a bit of a smoking gun. 👿
@rnd Is fish in the apt repo, or would I need to download it from somewhere?
@rnd Ok, I used it but I could only get it to pull up the most recent match. Is there a way to get a list of matches?
@rnd That does pull up a search; I'll try to remember that next time I need it.
(Still: nonobvious. If it had been in a menu, I would have found it years ago.)
@rnd Maybe I should try FishShell... but I kinda feel like if we're using GUI software to do CLI, it's better to use GUI for additional features rather than trying to implement them in CLI, with all its obvious limitations.
Also, I do use the up-arrow feature a lot for repeating commands, but that doesn't work very well across sessions or chunks of time. The command I want may be back there somewhere, but there's no obvious way to search for it.
@billyjoebowers I actually feel rather sorry for her, based on this. She's clearly got some really deep issues, and she's with exactly the wrong people to help her work them out in a healthy way, but... that level of self-abasement reminds me a lot of myself at a certain moment in high school. :blobcatupsidedown:
You'd think that by now, "smart" terminal emulation software would have the ability to remember certain complex commands that it otherwise would take several minutes to [re]construct, or even let you set up templates for composing them.
@CptSuperlative @idlestate I was going to go for "City of New Orleans" ... >.>
@researchbuzz Kill them with satire. (...which I guess is not dead after all!)
@farah If there doesn't seem to be anything much going on emotionally that might be behind this, then I'd say it sounds like me when I haven't eaten enough.
@CptSuperlative I've been told that naming is one of the hardest problems in system design...
@rey yule gibbous all you got! [brain free-associating, please pardon]
@somecat "my mind... to my mind... my thoughts... are one..." okay, my suspension of disbelief is broken now.
At age 61, I've only got one ex.
...that is to say, there is only one person with whom I once had an official relationship (marriage, which was not my idea). Despite continuing to have a positive opinion about me from everything I hear, she's never shown the least bit of interest in maintaining contact. It's just how she is; no hard feelings.
Of the other three with whom I had relationships that were less official but much more emotionally intimate (and none of which were what I'd call sexual):
You didn't ask, but I answered anyway. [is helpful] :blobcat_rss:
@blogoklahoma It takes special skill! :blobcatupsidedown:
Hey @Vivaldi -- there's a bug where if I have a progressive app set up but I also have a page from the same site open in the browser and I shift-click to open it in a new tab, the browser and all progressive app windows lock up and Vivaldi crashes.
Is there a proper place to report this?
@RichardJMurphy This agrees with my (b.1965) observations: they're feeling betrayed because the system which originally worked well for them and promised a better future is no longer doing so.
...but of course that's not because the system itself went bad, but because opposing ideologies have been systematically dismantling it.
The result is they're voting against the system that they liked and which was taken from them, and they're voting for the arseholes who took it.
The underlying question for me, then, is: why are they so absurdly gullible?
