no Google

I do not believe you.

Arch Linux

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.

There are dozens of us. And we are used to reading manuals, since we first installed our system.

They did it before the Internet was even a thing, my friend.

I remember using man pages when I was contributing to a C open source project back in the day.

Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?

Wasn't that one of the Incan gods?

You are thinking of the one they used to design the common keyboard layout, Qwertycoatl.

Is psychopatl an Aztec insult I don't know about?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

Someone cropped the last line? What a sociopatl

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

(For any nerd wondering, the name of the language is Nahuatl but I guess Aztec language is more recognizable for the sake of the joke lol)

My cycle goes : think think think, draw, think, draw, think, write code for a day or 3.

I use an ide or a text editor. never use that other stuff.

Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...

This is psycopathy?

Having actual competence in one's field?

Oh god we're all doomed, they'll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

EDIT:

Welp, I'm sure thats a good sign, lol.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure it's gonna be the stake

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

It's a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.

I've done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been 'politely' asked to leave by the staff.

The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was... hacking into ... something?

They didn't know what, but they were very concerned.

I was unable to convince them I was not, because 'terminal' = 'hacking' to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.

Why not both? Probably worshipped at the stake.

I use:

  • DuckDuckGo
  • Neovim
  • ~~rusty~~ dusty IdeaPad
  • ~~Arch~~ NixOS btw

I don't read man pages but I read documentation.

Am I also a psychopath?

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

That tracks. The AI push is extraordinarily premature. It makes sense that capitalist idiots see mass layoffs as improvement, but rational people do not.

I can’t live without vim.

Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.

Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.

I should fork vim and call it 'death', so I can shout "give me vim or give me death!" any time someone suggests a different editor.

That's impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.

I still remember my Masters degree in distributed computing. C++ in vi (not even vim), monochromatic display, 36 computers working together to give me a bunch of SIGSEGV.

I was going to ask how he knew it was Arch, but I feel like that is just setting up the next comment.

The true psychopaths are those sweating about which tools other people use

I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

I had an internship 15 years ago where I was forced to write C++ with no internet access. I had to use a programming manual and man pages.
