every command he runs is an alias

rookie, most commands grow into functions because they become too complicated to stay as alias

    Aliases are for the weak. Memorize and type out the whole one-liner, wuss.

    "I don't remember how to do that. Let me go check my .bashrc." Literal clowning, smh.

    Hell, my docker compose alias is a function now because I can't be assed to cd to my compose folder before running compose, and wanted to be able to still choose if I -d and/or what containers I wanted to start/stop.

    These people are a critical part of the computer ecosystem. Without them, no one would use any settings other than the default. We may not have yet discovered the dark theme.

    Good meme.

    "Bro this screen is too bright, is there a dark mode?"

    every command he runs is an alias

    I'm not getting it. I guess I don't interact with postmen enough, because I have no idea how a card reader is related to mail delivery.

    Idk, but it could be because the payment of the delivery is done 'via surname' to the postman when the package is handed over. So the bank can't track on what you spend your money on (in case you are afraid they do). This option exists at least in Germany. However, it costs an high extra fee.

    I dont think we do that in germany, shipping is always paid in advance

    It's called "per Nachnahme", C.O.D. in English. You'd pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn't remember. Not used a lot any more these days.

    Now do the β€œpurist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to β€œsave memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

    This one hits scarily close to home

    I even use a non-POSIX shell (https://www.nushell.sh/), with my config synced with Syncthing

    At some point we all need to move away from insecure bash scripts.

    I personally do most of my heavy scripting in python

    Python is great for scripting, but the advantages of nu and powershell are the ease of interacting with system utilities and the availability of common commands like ls etc.

    of course, you can always do subprocess.run or os.listdir(), but that is not as simple as scripting in nu or powershell.
