radix, to linux in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

Wow, that’s amazing!

Grammatically, no, because “or” is a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), and coordinating conjunctions are a way to join two independent clauses, like a semicolon. They are used after an independent clause and a comma, and they are followed by another coordinating conjunction.

Here’s two independent clauses: I got scratched by a cat. I’m sad.

Here’s a way to join them with a semicolon: I got scratched by a cat; I’m sad. The semicolon replaces the period.

Here’s a way to join them with a coordinating conjunction: I got scratched by a cat, so I’m sad. The , so replaces the semicolon/period.

Note that I got scratched by a cat so, I’m sad is incorrect, because to join two independent clauses, you’re supposed to put the comma first and then the conjunction, in that order. Colloquially, people will often omit the comma entirely, to reflect pronunciation I guess. But as far as I can tell, people don’t generally pronounce a pause between the coordinating conjunction and the following independent clause, so they don’t put a comma there either.

Excuse me, it’s called a kult.

I heard it has to do with what your primary language is. Different languages have different default mouth positions and so speakers of different languages end up with different muscles developed over time.

radix, (edited ) to asklemmy in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

How does it reduce dishes? Water bottles are one of the more annoying things to wash, in my experience, because my hands aren’t small enough to fit anymore.

Edit: Yes, I have a bottle brush. It’s just that it’s a bit of a hassle to soap it from dry and then have to dry it somewhere before storing it again. I wash everything else with a rough sponge normally.

Reusable steel water bottles should absolutely be washed.

@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I’m so sorry. Hope you’re out now, or soon.

radix, to asklemmy in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

Do the comments come from only other Hypothesis users?

radix, to piracy in What are your thoughts on fiber through the city?
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I used to work with the networks of a university, sometimes dealing with DMCA notices. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t ever see anything super weird; it was only ever popular movies and TV shows.

What I’m trying to say is, I’m surprised the creators of the furry porn cared enough about their intellectual property to send out DMCA notices.

radix, to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

That sucks. Tech support can be so annoying sometimes. I’m dealing with it too, although in a very different area. I wish they made it at least easy to give them money.

Good luck with Jellyfin and the other things you’ll be doing.

Now that’s something I’ve never thought of. You must care a lot for the puppy.

radix, to asklemmy in If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

How about any insect that smells you? I don’t want curious insects all over me even if only for a second.

Better give it to him soon. 2023 is quickly being forgotten.
