In my day vibe coding meant a delivery pizza, loud music, an eighth, and no other plans for the day.

Yeah. They all come with risks, but I psychologically struggle to run shell scripts unless I know what’s in them. And the same brain dysfunction makes my automatically distrust a script that doesn’t set pipefail.

I never fully trust a shell script and usually end up reading any I have to use first, so I know what they do. And after so many years dpkg holds no mysteries for me and Discover will install .debs if I double click while in KDE.

A stab at my personal ranking: .deb > appimage > flatpack > curling a shell script

I can’t help but love a .deb file (even when not via repo), I’ve almost exclusively used Debian and it derivatives since the late 90s. And snap isn’t on the list because it got stored in a loopback device I removed.

The first language I was fluent in was Perl so PCRE is second nature to me. But then everyone decided they wanted their own regex dialects. And now there’s a PCRE2? Why 2? Stay with 1, you’re good together. What about the kids?

Wouldn’t the one that ops you into telemetry be the trap?

I usually check Etsy, but you can often find good ones thrifting too.

Yeah, I met my (now) wife over 20 years ago. I blissfully missed app dating and I always make sure she wears her seatbelt and what-not so that never changes.

This is the update I’ve been waiting for.

Most made by large corps. For example, Apple got in some hot water not too long ago for changing the way they track in Apple Mail.

Servers track sent, delivered, bounced, and blocked.
Clients phone home with opened, read, CTR, and junk status.

I never stopped. I went from feeds in Netscape Navigator to Google Reader to Feedly and now I self-host Miniflux.

It was just announced that Musk is going to be stumping in Pennsylvania every day since Trump can’t be seen in public. The stuff Leon, who’s not a great public speaker, says may prove as enlightening as it is infuriating. I’m half expecting him to freudian-slip in a “President Vance” at some point.

I turned that off so many years ago I forgot it exists.

If you zoom out just a bit, this drop took it back to where it was at the start of trading yesterday. The stock has been surging since 10/10.

Because the only time he below 48% in the polling is when people outside his cult see him. Hiding may well win him the rust belt.

Yeah, I was resistant to it for a while. I used the free version until I found I was running out of queries, then I got the cheap plan, and by the time they announced the $10 plan was going unlimited it seemed like a great deal. And I don’t have to worry about Kagi trying to break my ad blocker because there are no ads to be blocked.

Since I already pay for Kagi, I use their “Fediverse Forums” lens.

Firefox (for now) and Kagi

I knew he wanted to sell the country, I didn’t realize he was actively doing so.

Now that 4.3 is done, our focus for the next release will be on implementing the highly requested features of quote posts

OMG, it’s actually happening!?
