No, it won’t since the problems you think it will. You are misidentifying the problem as being religion. …but the problem is human, and psychological in nature - and, because you can’t see that, you’re just as susceptible to it as any other sot out there, drunk on the idea that you’ve got this one weird trick that solves the issue, and doesn’t involve you sorting your own shit out.
yep. But nuance isn’t visceral enough to grab their attention, so they get owned by those who are nuanced enough to wield the generalized binary concepts.
Literally, a mind virus they can’t recognize - likely crafted intentionally by someone at some point. But even if not, the irony is that this kind of wholesale buy-in to binary concepts is exactly what causes the behaviors they despise in religion.
you’re just voicing another ideology that wants to exterminate others. Religion is your whipping boy, and you’re lying to yourself if you think that getting rid of religion fixes the problem.
no, they in no way implied that bad people shouldn’t be stopped.
i also hit 4 a few times to give more columns to the cpu usage meters.
was gonna suggest similar.
exactly.
but everybody got their rocks off catharsis and the feeling was expressed - even though the reason for the feeling was never addressed.

I mean sure you can use the chaos to try and get cover for something specific. But generally, people rioting are on-tilt and looking for easy targets that look like their oppressors. Then, everybody gets catharsis and the riot disappears.
It’s just lazy. but, better than nothing, i guess.
rioting is not the answer. if you are going to take action, be careful and deliberate.
yeah, really lets you lay down sick code like a mad hacker. I love it.
Succinctness, mainly. but honestly, that succinctness call can also be mostly acquired using sh.py, which is what I normally use if I’m using python as a sort of shell scripting - mostly because sh.py is a very minimal requirement, whereas Xonsh has quite a few dependencies.
addendum: I’d say, if you’re already using Xonsh, and aren’t really looking to share your script with anyone other than Xonsh users or your own systems, you’d probably like to use .xsh scripts. But if you’re looking to share your script, use sh.py.
It’s a superset of python, so valid python should run fine. Imports into your shell are doable, too – for example, I import path.Path in my xonshrc, so it’s always available when I hit the shell. I don’t often have to use Path, because regular shell commands are often more straightforward. But when I do, it’s nice to have it already loaded. Granted, that could get kooky, depending on what you import and execute.
You can associate/shebang Xonsh with .xsh files, or run “xonsh foo.xsh” - and that works like “bash foo.sh” would, except using xonsh syntax, of course.
It’s not Bash compatible - copypasta of scripts may not work out. But it’s a good shell with some typical shell semantics.
there are some great plugins, too - like autovox, which allows you to create python venvs associated with specific subfolders. so, cd myproject does the equivalent of cd myproject; . path/to/venv/bin/activate.
overall, there definitely is some jank, but it’s a great tool and I love it.
I like nushell, but I love xonsh. Xonsh is the bastard love child of Python and Bash.
it can be thought of as:
Now, that’s not a very accurate description, because the reality is more nuanced, but it allows for things like:
for file in !(find | grep -i '[.]mp3^'):
file = Path(file.strip())
if file != Path('.') and file != file.with_suffix('.mp3'):
mv @(file) @(file.with_suffix('.mp3'))
Now, there are things in there I wouldn’t bother with normally - like, rather than using mv, I’d just use file.rename(), but the snippet shows a couple of the tools for interaction between xonsh and sh.
But, either a line is treated in a pyhony way, or in a shelly way - and if a line is shelly, you can reference Python variables or expressions via @(), and if it’s Pythony, you can execute shell code with !() or $(), returning the lines or the exact value, respectively.
Granted, I love python and like shell well enough, and chimeras are my jam, so go figure.
tragedy of the Commons, with external pressure to boot.
I like to think about ethics. I still pirate some random stuff here and there, but one thing I like to do is make sure I’m getting some money to the creators of what I’m enjoying, skipping the middle man as much as can be.
this is mostly only relevant with music, but if I can buy an album or song directly from the artist, that’s awesome. it not, i try to five what service benefits them most.
install Linux. then it works.
edit: seriously, though. AMD GPUs are what it’s like in Linux when a vendor plays nice. It’s the Real Linux Experience™️ that you get when using supported hardware.
You can do Linux if your situation meets these criteria:
tbh, it sounds like you don’t want to have to think about and test it. …and if that’s true, then you shouldn’t be switching operating systems if you can reasonably avoid it.
yeah. poorly worded.
Grow up. he did.
You think that preventing exposure to problematic concept prevents infection. you’re right, in the short term. But in the long term, you destroy collective immunity to the concept.
Let it live, fight it when you have to, but don’t think you can eradicate it. It’s to be learned from, not simply destroyed. Otherwise, the experience is wasted, only to be repeated by the next generation.
