@eugenialoli@mastodon.social I love that this still matters even today

@nixCraft whoa!!! this is why things should not become too user friendly...else too friendly users become demanding and then it is no longer a healthy friendship.

@levi that scary moment when age is gauged by maturity and intellectual level checking quiz and we are all stuck with Hannah Montana Linux or worse, something by oracle.

@nixCraft used the first one in XIth and XIIth in school. when college was using the second one to teach, I discovered Bloodshed Dev C++ and used that instead. one of my earliest exploration of alternate software and by coincidence open source as well. never tried anjuta though.

@Fedilab is there a way to not show replies by people I follow on the home timeline. Compared to what I see in the browser, the app shows many replies especially to people I don't follow and it takes forever to scroll till last read.
I see "Hide boosts" option for profiles but a global or per profile "Hide replies" would be really useful. Thanks #fedilab #help

i was very happy today to read in a print publication aka a newspaper's glossy supplement that even the young adults of 20s and 30s are speaking out about the nuisance that is idiots that ruin the movie theatre experience by being unskippable live commentary track. in memory of someone very wise, if you do that #AapChutiyeHain

maybe i will finally get to and thus need to plan and save up to travel abroad... i last went out 14 years back. you can confidently say i am not a traveller.

`hledger bal -t --drop=1 -D -T -A -N --pretty-tables Expenses`
hledger is pretty cool and the more i dig into the built in help and the flags and switches, it just keeps me surprising me in the most joyful way.
what do the switches here do?
1. -t for tree style display of accounts and subaccounts
2. --drop=1 since my top level is Expenses, it will just show the overall totals anyways.
3. -D for day by day multi column report of account balances in the current month by default
4. -T print the row wise totals. this means the total spent in a particular account across all the days from start of month till date by default
5. -A same as -T but for row wise averages.
6. -N this is optional and to remove the final total row. try with on or off. in this case, i could have also instead removed --drop=1 and that row would have shown the day wise Expenses totals as well.
7. --pretty-tables uses unicode characters for a better looking tabular output.

lots more flags to go through, but this itself was so useful to see trends at a glance.

Thank you @simonmic@fosstodon.org for letting me feel cool using the terminal. Love the project

@epidiah@dice.camp This app looks better in the Trash

@nixCraft@mastodon.social the disabling wasn't as bad as the jarring alert popup that explicitly rubbed it in our faces.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social that excitement of picking the A volume and learning about Aardvark in details more than a dictionary would explain or even a pictionary.. then came internet. and ever changing wikipedia pages

@2something@transfem.social Proton Pass paid version is too convenient and checks all required features boxes for me. I can sign up to a service either on phone or desktop and I get to generate a custom email ID as well as a long password or passphrase keeping every site account as unique as possible. The sync is obviously quick enough. Logging on the other device including autofilling (I do prefer click to fill but that click is right in the text input field) login credentials and 2fa code is quite straightforward. Especially also useful on the phone with apps where the stored data is encrypted and because of proton pass I get to keep a long password because it can autofill in apps as well. I use keepassdx to store proton login. The risks of convenience are not lost on me. @Tutanota@mastodon.social @kym@todon.nl
