Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?

I think the issue fundamentally is that this isn’t what terminal emulators are. The terminal emulator initializes a TTY session and enters a shell environment (sh, zsh, fish, etc). The medium is text and cannot be anything else.

Begin able to view images in the terminal would be amazing alone - just like you can cat a text file. I would hate to need to launch a GUI program every time I wanted to see what was inside a text file but that is exactly what I need to do for images or PDFs.

Would be convenient. There are things like neofetch’s backend capabilities that magically embeds images, but I don’t know how it works and it might not be scalable.

Being able to collapse the output of a command would be nice as well.

Skill issue. Pipe your output to something (like a file or the “less” command)

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?

I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can’t comprehend the rework that would be required. It’s so fundamentally different.

For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?

There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.

I may simply lack imagination.

Its not just the volume of publishing, but the conclusion of the paper if you publish a paper and the result is boring (the X had negligible impact on Y but its inconclusive) you might still put your grant at risk.

Gen 1 Pokémon Fans Are In Awe As Cubone’s Face Is Discovered In Old 90s Picture Book | Retro Dodo (retrododo.com)

Gen 1 fans of Pokémon, especially those who played Red and Blue versions, can now find a bit more peace regarding the sorrowful character of Cubone. For years, it was known that Cubone never removes its skull helmet due to which nobody has ever seen its real face. However, recent discoveries have proven this notion wrong....

of course it’s /s gdi and i hate that i have to say it

Lemmy is absurdly bad at recognizing this.

Smells like some policies are getting changed

andrewth09 ,

Yes. Defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion that threatens their sovereignty. One that is continuously threatened by China and one Taiwan actively prepares for.

andrewth09 ,

but we expect to produce “thousands upon thousands” of fancy new drones?

I think Taiwan can absolutely help support the US in producing thousands upon thousands of new drones.

andrewth09 ,

No country takes action based on moral grounds. They only take action for their self interest. This is international relations 101. Sometimes these align! Sometimes… not so much.

What Taiwan has done is made the “good” outcome (Taiwan remains free and independent) align with the US’s self interest (having computers and a tech based economy).

The US will always exert power over Taiwan, so will China. That’s just what great powers do. However, China doesn’t need to threaten an invasion to do this. There is no reason China can’t relinquish their claim on Taiwan and just build a casual trade relationship with Taiwan.

andrewth09 ,

Why not both!

Wow. This comment is just another liberal echo chamber. 🙄

andrewth09 ,

so this is a very strange thing to see you commenting.

It’s because I didn’t include the “/s” at the end of the comment.

432 is definitely a troll/bot account. He calls a lot of comment sections a liberal echo chamber.

In a perfect world:

  1. Game publisher release Game with DRM
  2. DRM gets cracked by pirates
  3. Game publisher acknowledges the DRM has been cracked and compiles a new binary without DRM and redistributes it to customers.
andrewth09 ,

In a perfect world no one would pirate video games. So I guess this is more of a realistic compromise.

Who will replace her if she suddenly passes away because shes 84? She should be ensuring the party can function without her. She should be spinning up the next generation of leaders before it becomes critical. We shouldn’t have to Weekend at Bernie’s politicians in order to keep the government from collapsing.

It’s the same with Biden.

That’s a Russian talking point from 2022. It’s like seeing a vintage car on the road.

POLITICO: We received internal Trump documents from ‘Robert.’ The campaign just confirmed it was hacked. (www.politico.com)

On July 22, POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account. Over the course of the past few weeks, the person — who used an AOL email account and identified themselves only as “Robert” — relayed what appeared to be internal communications from a senior Trump campaign official. A research dossier the campaign...

I get what you are saying. It could push us down a path where political enemies are locked up after they lose president elections, but I don’t think that is the case.

(1) Jailing Trump isn’t a major taking point from politicians. I think Democratic politicians present the prosecution of Trump to be a good thing especially regarding the Georgia and Florida cases, but they typically present his felony conviction as the goal. “Lock him up” typically isn’t a railing cry which makes this article newsworthy.

(2) Trump is unique. The Florida and Georgia cases ARE notable. Holding onto state secrets come with a high legal burden. He fucked up. You can’t pressure Georgia officials to find votes for you as President. He fucked up. I’m happy having courts investing that.

I expect if Trump actually got sentenced it would be like 8 months probation.

andrewth09 ,

The apolitical thing would be to not have chants to jail someone at a rally.

I mean, it’s a political rally. Wake me up when a judge assigned to one of Trump’s many cases shows up and starts chanting.

If the Dems start doing Trumplike shit because he did it first

Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez got convicted on bribery charges. Democrats dropped him like a bag of rocks. Would you say the same thing would happen if a pro Trump senator was indicted?
