What language is the CLI written in?

Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.

I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.

You’re allowed to need some space. You may feel better if you say so, rather than ghosting.

Something like:

“Sorry I’ve been ignoring our friendship, I’ve needed some space. I want to still be your friend, long term, in honor of what we’ve shared. I might still be quiet for awhile, but I’m okay and I appreciate you.”

Friendships can go quiet for years and still be friendships, if both people don’t mind.

This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.

I’ll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.

I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.

This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:

If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.

Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.

2. what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?

Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.

What about stocks?

Better sell some.

Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?

Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.

But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.

Crisis on Two Earths has, indeed, been done.

It would have been great to call it “Crisis on a Couple Earth’s”.

they say it’s worth it

Narrator: They did not.

Agreed. The biggest reason Zoom took off is that folks could join a video chat from any platform simply by opening a link in a browser.

I understand the distrust for Proton, but I can’t help but notice that this could be a huge upgrade for folks fleeing from Microsoft and Google suites.

Edit: But for anyone who wants to conference call with a clean conscience, check out Matrix.org.

YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.

I’ve heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it’s wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.

Nebula is great.

It’s pretty funny to watch a quick “check out our extended content on Nebula” video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)

It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.

Nebula is terrific!

It does take some time to find everything. It’s not (much of) an algorithm, so I just had to explore and start subscribing to things.

because you probably don’t know how software is built.

Oh shit. Nevermind then.

What I’m hearing is: I can replace saying “I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads” with "I host a part of the ‘Deep Net’.

Sweet.

What do I do if adult tells me they want to play with hot wheels with me? I say yes.

Fuck yeah. Hot wheels are great.

I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can’t go under water.

This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

We’re not demanding submersible cars, we’re just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

I’m confident that there’s going to be a great deal of broken… everything…built with AI “assistance” during the next decade.

I hate investing

Mutual Funds / Index funds are your best bet. (Look for descriptive words like “broad”, “mix” or “full market” in the description).

If you can, pick out one named “target retirement YYYY” with YYYY being within a few years of whatever year you will turn 67.

It will automatically follow investing best practices based on your current age - agrressive earlier, and very cautious later.

I’m not familiar with all the details of how it works

Perfect recipe to get ripped off. (Most people I know say that insurance/investment combined products suck. I’ve heard some disagreement whether they’re just a bad deal, or such a bad deal they ought to be a crime.)

I can’t prove anything, but:

• There’s evidence that billionaires are taking much more than they earn, and that we (everyone else) would be dramatically better off without them (whether we tax them away or… Come to some other compromise.)
• Billionaires own most media outlets and social media sites, even those these don’t actually make much money compared to everything else the billionaires own. This makes some people ask why they bother…
• There’s a noticable tendency in billionaire owned media to focus daily on divisive topics. The specific topic changes, but the divisiveness continues.
• There is history of powerful authoritarians investing heavily in divisive propaganda, primarily to break apart and distract groups of people who could overthrow them.

What I have laid out is not proof that today’s billionaires are directing their staff to verbally attack minorites at any opportunity.

But it certainly is something to think about next time a vicious rumor about a minority group comes along.

Edit: Yes. I do understand that neither men nor women are minorities. But there’s still enough differences to allow pushing a divisive narrative, which I suspect is enough reason for certain motivated people.

And to the “could just be a shitty set of incentives” argument. Fair enough. It could be. It’s highly suspicious, but it could be.
