Guess it save a lot of time as you get right to the point
  • Like why is it in quotes? This is a big pet peeve of mine ever since I moved to LA and started seeing it everywhere. Another one is abbreviating California with “Ca.” instead of “CA”

    What car do you drive and why?
  • 2009 Audi A3 sportback, it was my first “nice” car.

    I keep it around despite the small fortune I’ve spent in maintenance because it’s fun as hell to drive.

    Something something case-insensitive file something...
  • I never understood this. I’ve been using macOS for a long, long time but in Terminal with either bash or zsh it’s always been as picky as Linux/other UNIX systems with casing.

    Even in Finder if you navigate to a directory by path you have to use the proper case.

    Am I missing something? I haven’t manually chosen a case-sensitive filesystem, but I sure would if it didn’t already seem case-sensitive.

    What is a habit/thing/technique that most people would benefit from, in your experience/observation? What are some habits that would be best avoided too?
  • I’m divided on this.

    In one hand, when I haven’t done my habits for awhile it seems like everything goes to chaos.

    But many days I dread all the annoying chores I do making everyday feel the same.

    What advice have you heard or tried that was just flat-out wrong?
  • Yeah, I guess I didn’t care but everyone on my back about it had me thinking “maybe they’re right.”

    Typically when people give me advice it’s not good, but if I stand my ground people lose their minds. The people here are like a cult where everyone has the same opinions about everything and if you don’t conform they feel the need to nag you incessantly — if you just mention “hey I’m doing it because X” then they’ll get huffy and say “you don’t need to explain yourself.”

    I hate to generalize but this has happened to me too many times to count since I moved here ~10 years ago. I would love to leave but it’s too late, now I’m stuck here.

    OpenSUSE Announces New "YQPkg" Package Management Tool
  • Right? And there’s always aliasing but I’m not going to write aliases for every single Docker container and VPS I have (assuming I’d be using the distro).

    I use Alpine Linux, FreeBSD and OpenWRT a lot so I’m always mixing up apk, pkg and opkg.

    Weird green blinking light
  • A city near me installed traffic lights and/or stop signs in their tiny residential roundabouts. In my mind it seriously speaks to the stupidity of drivers around here, but also the city for enabling them.

  • Yes, exactly!

    Taking it to another level, my pet-peeve recently is drivers signaling the opposite direction they’re turning. I see it all the time (at least in the past few years) and I can’t figure out where the logic comes from.

    OpenSUSE Announces New "YQPkg" Package Management Tool
  • Did they intentionally choose a name that’s difficult to type? Assuming the command is yqpkg I’d want to murder whoever picked the name while trying to use it.

    The California Job-Killer That Wasn’t | The state raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers—and employment kept rising. So why has the law been proclaimed a failure?
  • People complaining about fast food prices come across as entitled to me. How are you going to complain about underpaid staff making you a meal as quickly as possible when it’s not even healthy or good for the environment?

    I just don’t understand why this is a metric we measure things by. Are we that lazy that we can’t be bothered to make do without a burger sometimes?
