You’re officially invited.

Reminds me of the WLER railway line, and I like trains, so that makes it a great name.

(Turns out that “it reminds me of” is not a great way to evaluate a name)

Also tbh, if it does the same things as before, they could call it POOP, and I’d still use it. The name has no bearing on how it functions.

That sounds like an argument against the name change…

Ever on, indeed.

What is an “AI storage service”?

Does that mean you just store your info in AI weights/contexts and hope it can regenerate an approximation of what you put in?

They’re all wasted, does it matter if it’s “fluff” or not?

I think you might be thinking of databases… Access (barf), not Excel.

I do think databases and tables are a useful thing but most database systems require over-specifying fields via esoteric “column types” while spreadsheets underspecify them via formatting (and extremely limited formatting at that)

Some happy medium must exist out there, but I haven’t seen it. Notion and Google Docs (Format /Convert to Table) approach this but don’t quite get there.

What do you mean? I hear that “SFC /SCANNOW” fixes everything!

You are correct but every little barrier helps.

Hate to just keep throwing out links to Wikipedia but … these techniques have been used to some success in the fight against fascism before.

It is much better if Linux and systemd say “oh gosh we’re not ready to implement that for at least another 2-3 years and even then only in preliminary implementations” instead of “yes sir right away sir we have that all ready to go at a moments notice, let me put that boot of yours right down my own throat”

Hey I’m not gonna disagree. I just provided an answer to what that person meant about “glowing”.

I’ll add another link that you might want to consider though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipatory_obedience

Nah, it’s Martin Shkreli

Oh well guess I’ll continue using audiobookshelf.

It’s always been wild to me how the seemingly-simplest change (“what is the name of this computer”) has so many little gotchas and quirks.

Fair enough. I’d never consider less to be a TUI program.

If it doesn’t support .beat time, I don’t care!

(Just kidding, always happy to see Linux in more places. But I do want my metric time.)

Someone has never configured a managed network router! Disorganized feature creep is the name of the game in there: gotta make sure the old commands still work exactly the same but add new ones constantly for new features!

I’d say vi is in a fuzzy grey area below a tui. It’s more than a cli but shares a lot with cli programs; it pretty much has its own command line built in. At the same time it has nothing like dialog box or menus like normal tui programs.

He needs to go there personally to break ground though.

Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.

Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)

High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).

One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.
