Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly… they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly… gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly…Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can’t you morons do anything right?

I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo

Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?

to perpetuate backwards gender roles

I never even suggested that. Where did you get that from? All I’m saying is, people in power aren’t your friends.

Although is it a good thing that me and my wife work like crazy to keep our family going? Is this really what life is about? I’d love to be stay at home dad, yet I can’t

I literally said it’s a positive thing, just that motivation of people in power is cynical. Also I didn’t mention communism, I meant it in general regardless of regime

Maybe a bad choice of words on my part, maybe I should write “not because it’s right, but because it doubles the workforce”

Although whether “double the workforce” is good or bad, I’d keep that for a discussion, see my other comment for more info: https://lemmy.world/comment/16185467

Sorry for late response and I see the comment is now deleted by a mod but whatever (well we’re on .ml after all).

What I was trying to point out, was the “cynical” part of it. That people in power often don’t do it because they want to empower women or help people, more often than not it’s just that it brings more people into their “meat grinder” - regardless of the regime. In case of capitalism it’s obvious but it doesn’t need to be money necessarily; in the case of Stalin - pardon me if I don’t believe that he did it for “supporting women rights and making the world a better place ✌️”, he did it for the raw economic power to compete with US during cold war and so his own country wouldn’t collapse because of his stupid actions.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate. I deliberately didn’t want to say anything in that area, I’m just saying that the motivation of people in power is cynical, not saying if result is good or bad.

But if you’d want my personal stance - I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t. Even though my country sort of supports it, my pay would cut dramatically and we as a family wouldn’t be able to survive.

But honestly thank you for asking. It’s very refreshing to meet a person who asks and tries to understand the motivation of the commenter rather than jumping right to the conclusion (as almost every other response here)

small tasks that you don’t expect to grow in complexity

On one conference I heard saying: “There is no such thing as temporary solution and there is no such thing as proof of concept”. It’s an overexaguration of course but it has some truth to it - there’s a high chance that your “small change” or PoC will be used for the next 20 years so write it as robust and resilient as possible and document it. In other words everything will be extended, everything will be maintained, everything will change hands.

So to your point - is bash production ready? Well, depends. Do you have it in git? Is it part of some automation pipeline? Is it properly documented? Do you by chance have some tests for it? Then yes, it’s production ready.

If you just “write this quick script and run it in cron” then no. Because in 10 years people will pull their hair screaming “what the hell is hapenning?!”

Edit: or worse, they’ll scream it during the next incident that’ll happen at 2 AM on Sunday

Yes, from what I understood, the “Istanbul” is a state.

I was trying to find that facebook post where people explained it but Facebook just says “fuck you, you saw it, there’s no way to get it back”. I can’t believe they went away with this “feature” …

I saw exactly this comment under the Facebook post I mentioned in the description. And I’m afraid to ask but - is it a nationalistic thing or is it a joke I’m not getting?

From my student years I even know the names of the 2 night trains between Bratislava and Košice - Zemplín (top route) and Poľana (bottom route). Sigh, sometimes I miss those travels

I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

There’s a new trend with immutable distros and they have some pros and cons. OP’s stance apparently is that they’re the future

Sure but … it can’t beat the ‘Bollywood’, am I right? /s

I was recently thinking - is this like a real thing? Or is it more like a joke since cucumber looks the way it looks?

So far I haven’t discovered any famous person in my tree so the most famous one must be my grandpa who was a principal in multiple schools in my hometown and helped to found them after WW2.
