Exactly. Ctrl+C and hope ls isn’t completely empty.

Glad you got that! Its a major point in talking about social programs. If you can see this in college programs you can see the benefit when applied to social programs as well. Not sure if I can convince you of that too. But it’s always nice to get a response of “that makes sense” in this context.

Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc.

Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)

alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user.

myrm() {
  trash-put "$@"
}
alias rm="myrm"

This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png”

Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin.

The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.

Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I’m forced to use windows is for work.

I have to play the “low battery” game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won’t restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I’m using for work.

I don’t care what anyone says. Updates that can’t have a forever “give me 1 more hour” indefinitely are just going to destroy work.

Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don’t care how many “warnings” there are.

I’m connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.

Not really the same. Charging for this would discourage people from using it. They have to make a choice on feeling safe vs. spending money.

This gives everyone the option and subsidizes it to the entire community.

This is exactly why socializing things like this is beneficial.

Every service has a cost. That cost is the value of the labor being provided. But we decide as a society that providing services like this benefits everyone living in society. Regardless of if they use it directly or not.

When people say “free” in this context that’s what they mean. They mean the decision based on personal finance is removed.

We don’t want people choosing personal finance over safety or health. Removing that dependency benefits everyone.

Pay to file and get charged if we don’t pay the amount that the IRS knows that we owe.

They literally know how much we owe but make us pay a private company to calculate that number and then charge us if that private company didn’t help us get the right number.

So the private company offers more “protection” and “tax experts” they charge us more for and make their “calculator” a little less helpful every year so you feel like you need the “tax expert” AI chat to help you avoid a charge.

Capitalism is the most efficient system. CAPITALISM IS THE MOST EFFICIENT SYSTEM.

It’s technically free to file federal and the tax prep companies must offer this by law. But there are tons of loopholes to this to the point that many people pay to file even when they don’t have to.

State taxes are always charged if they need to be filed. It’s free in some states but not a lot and there is no requirement on most states for how much the tax prep software charges for that.

This country doesn’t want to pay teachers so it’s using technology to fill the gap. It’s not being used to enhance the education. It’s being used to keep costs low. It’s like using a self checkout camera. Sure, some people will still steal stuff. You’re not actually trying to prevent all of that. You’re just trying to lower that amount of theft so it’s less than hiring a cashier. The teachers suffer and the students suffer for it.

But this country is also not interested in having well educated people capable of critical thinking. I believe I’m paraphrasing Carlin now. But it just wants obedient workers.

I hate capitalism. This guy is a symbol of wholesome good hearted teaching and entertainment. But somehow after you die people can suck the profits out of that until every time I see his face somewhere I have to be reminded that we live in a world that didn’t deserve him.

Do we have to let every fucking part of our culture be reduced to a damn dollar sign?

Cleanest truck of an anarchist I’ve ever seen. Not a single spelling error. The revolution is clearly getting closer.

This is likely what happened. The software hit an invalid state that defaulted to disengaging the autopilot feature. Likely hit an impossible state as the camera could no longer piece the “wall” parts of the road with the actual road as it got too close.

Likely an error condition occured that would happen in the same way if an object suddenly covered the camera while driving. It would be even more concerning if the autopilot DIDN’T disengage at that point.

Excuse me. He’s also a top ranked PoE player that doesn’t know how open his inventory.
