Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that’s easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can’t check atm).

I don’t even know how to do that from commandline.

(one online search later…)

There’s a package for that but best I can tell there’s no universal way.

I have to assume that most cats would stay away from it. It’s loud and scary!

My cat certainly hides from it, by then, she hides from just about anything

I don’t even get it and I’m really trying

What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use - and not _

Right. I guess I consider that a relatively niche usecase. But on second thought I suppose it’s not that niche once you include hobbyist musicians and that kind of crowd.

I wanted to make the analogy of every tech YouTuber reviewing a laptop or non-high-end PC saying “you’re not going to be rendering long videos on this thing” as if that’s a relatable use case. No, YouTuber, that’s not something most people do on their computers! Most people probably never do it in their life, or only a handful of times ever.

But as I said upon more thought I realize that’s not the case with midi.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious but how often is midi used in modern days?

Forget the “legal” process (which is skipped). I wouldn’t be surprised if just the salaries of all the ICE officers and the cost of their operations is significantly more than $1000 per immigrant captured.

The cost of the flight is probably not really saved either because they have to physically deport the ones they’ve captured anyway.

And yet I still think it’s a trap. Call me a cynic.

Not American, ELI5?

@[email protected] okay, I won’t be vague. I’m from Israel. Not hiding it, you can find out pretty easily from my comment history.

And in case you wondered, yes, I find the genocide in Gaza abhorrent and unacceptable. This is not the place to talk about this though so let’s leave it at that.

Quite the opposite!

I’ve never seen ChromeOS. I think it’s just not a thing in my country.

Who says he’s cleaning though? It just says he’s about to “start on her teeth”, this could be an operation or an investigation into a complaint or anything else that a dentist would do.

IIRC it’s iPadOS which is closely related to iOS. They used to be one and the same.

Windows XP flashbacks

May I suggest trying VS Codium instead of VS Code for step 3 and potentially (not guaranteed) not be grossed out too much? It’s a FOSS version of VS Code that removes telemetry and most of the gross Microsoft stuff.

So like, how do refunds work?

If you can’t get a refund and you paid double, you’re screwed and you might not even get a satisfactory product. But if you can get a refund, you can just try it and immediately get a refund if it didn’t go your way, breaking the system.

On the flip side, if you won the gamble and paid nothing, you might still get a shit product. In this case you can’t get a refund because you didn’t pay anything, but the product still isn’t worth its purported price, and you still took the gamble based on this false value. It’s still a rip-off.

Maybe gambling and shopping don’t go together quite as well as it first appears.

Oh, I hate a lot about Android/Google too. One particular pet peeve of mine is that WebAPKs are still exclusive to Chrome (and, on Samsung devices only, Samsung Internet) despite the FAQ promising that “We are working on it. We are committed to making this available to all browsers on Android and we will have more details soon.” (Last updated 2017-05-21)

There is no good option in smartphones, you have to choose the lesser evil. For me that’s Android. I can appreciate that for some people it would be iOS. What drives me up a wall is that people defend these awful practices.

It was just a snarky comment. Apple does a lot of things well. I just find their anticompetitive practices deplorable.

I’m pretty happy up here on the surface to be honest.

Nothing in Apple’s ecosystem is worth it.
