My daughter was advised/encouraged by their teacher to take a Linux (sic) command line course.

She was enjoying it until she unexpectedly hit a paywall at chapter 4 (of 6).

Can you recommend a free as in freedom GNU/Linux command-line course or tutorial?

@jesterchen @nuintari As an aside, people apparently being unwilling, or possibly unable to formulate a question as they mean for it to be answered, was one ingredient that made the curriculum-and-test-based school system so terrible for me. You should have answered the question that I actually meant to ask, not the question that I factually asked. All the other students did that, so you're wrong. Or: You're the only one who believes the question to be ambiguous. Also, you're cunningly giving me two answers ("This question can be interpreted in two ways, I'll answer both variants: if you're asking A, then B, if you're asking C, then D") and I'm not falling for your clever way to be always right. #actuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic

@jordan@sometimes.social Who wants restrictive when you can also get permissive? Well, if the restriction is the only protection we have against Big Tech stealing all of our work and taking away all of our freedoms, and it doesn't restrict us in any way, this restriction is probably a good thing. This is apparently too hard to understand or think through for many.

Had a most lovely---almost 2h---video chat session with @ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social and Timothy Sample (GNU Mes contributor and author of Germ) on the workings of Ekaitz' rewrite of Mes from a Scheme interpreter to a compiler.

AIUI, Guile Scheme has some interesting characteristics that prevent the Mes compiler from using some simple and low hanging fruit performance improvements. Sorry for being vague, Ekaitz can elaborate.

Wondering if these are also "slowing down" Guile so much---and if not, why not?---and if anything could be done about that.

I see very little difference with talking to my friend in public when they're physically there. I'm flabbergasted what makes so many of you think there's a difference?

I didn't "want" this question answered one way or another.

Is that so? I now believe you were specifically looking for speakerphone conversations that are way too loud. And I also believe that's what around 97% of respondents people assumed and actually answered to.

The reason it is rude is because of the effect speakerphone have on conversation volumes: It drives them up.

Those are two separate things: talking loud vs speakerphone. I hypothesize that people don't think it's hardly about the speakerphone at all, it's mostly about the volume.

I also hypothesize that a hushed conversation on speakerphone is much less rude, if it is rude at all, than a much too loud conversation between live persons.

The apparent fact that many of you observed that most people are unskilled using their speakerphone and talk too loud, has nothing to do with the speakerphone.

@contrapunctus @cwebber One of the most important people to be nice to, is yourself. You cannot, in a sustainable way, be nice to others if you're not also nice to yourself. How to balance being nice to yourself while not being bad to others, and vice versa, usually requires some practice, learning from failures, and forgiveness.

Does a hushed conversation using a speakerphone bother you more than a just as hushed conversation between live people?
