I do like that there is now such a thing as a Hall Effect split keyboard, but I don't like that ASUS ROG did it first because that shit's expensive.

Oh well, I'll just wait like 5 years?

I mean, if your job involves as much converting/shunting plain text data as I suspect it does, it could be a useful tool.

Obviously I'm keeping bash around for compatibility and convenience reasons, but nu has been... enlightening, in some ways.

I'm still fairly certain that I'll never get into proper programming, but this might be the closest I get.

a pretty powerful scripting language. I've enjoyed learning it so far.

data from plain text files however you want, divide it into columns and rows, and convert it into the supported data types. Nushell is... quite advanced, really.

As someone who's been used to Bash for a while now, I don't like the way they changed some syntax, but I can't deny that it's...

Alright, well... yeah. It can parse JSON, YAML, CSV, a couple of other things, and even convert between formats natively. Hell, it can even do SQLite queries. You can display the info, convert it, and pipe it... well into anything CLI-related.

You can also sort...

"You can always just switch your shell entirely because nushell can parse b..."

I kid, I kid. I am actually playing around with nushell these days because I'm a crazy person, but switching shells just to parse json or yaml seems... excessive.

This whole job search thing hasn't been good for keeping my library current, but it's been great for my backlog. Even been replaying some games.

Listen, reporting all these impostor Discord accounts doesn't make me a hero...

But if someone was like, "What do you want, a cookie?" I'd say yes.

Hell, writing *can* be fun for me. But half the time, especially in my professional life, it's exhausting, stressful, tedious, and occasionally maddening.

And I still wouldn't let a fucking computer do it for me. I didn't finally learn to touch type after ten years of working just to stop now.

Ghostly Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 1d

there have always been people who like to write, and people who like to say they have written, and the latter really love the idea of AI and the former can not understand why you'd let a computer do the fun part.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

I honestly don't know if it was any good. I just found out because I did some Googling before posting because I knew if I didn't, somebody who'd seen the whole franchise (either one) would be coming for me.

And I had to be sure.

Listen, if Fast & Furious is allowed to (as in, no one stopped them from) doing a space thing, I don't see why 911 can't do it.

Eh, if the original Naked Gun and/or Police Academy series hadn't stopped when they did, you know this would have been next.

And PA did, actually. In the cartoon.

Look, I've never watched 9-1-1, I kinda know it's an over the top procedural...

BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! SPACE?!?!

Patreon doesn't have a way to pause your subscribers' payments indefinitely and I won't remember to re-pause them every month so my laziness is going to end up making me write more... isn't it?

Shit, I didn't finally learn some vim keybindings and implement them in all my text editors just to stop now. Or turn KDE into a keyboard-controlled scrolling window manager just to stop now.

Or add vimium to my browser just to stop now. Fuck AI, I was put on this Earth to push buttons.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Do you see other people who don't look like you on the street, and feel an irrational urge to deny their personhood? Do you see a valid clothing option when you look at white bedsheets?

God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

Kasey Gifford @kaseygifford.bsky.social · 1d

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?

Heh. Another Idle RPG that lives in your screen along with your work windows. I love that they exist. I'm sad that they need to exist to keep some of us sane.

... Wrote a whole article about that, a while back.

When I get some money, I'm probably gonna get this one.
