every command he runs is an alias
rookie, most commands grow into functions because they become too complicated to stay as alias

Aliases are for the weak. Memorize and type out the whole one-liner, wuss.
"I don't remember how to do that. Let me go check my .bashrc." Literal clowning, smh.
My .bashrc sources a functions and alias file, noob. With a function that parses functions!
"I don't remember how to do that. Let me go check my
.bashrc."
Literally never happens thanks to atuin
Then you make aliases of common arguments for those functions, duh
It's aliases all the way down
Hell, my docker compose alias is a function now because I can't be assed to cd to my compose folder before running compose, and wanted to be able to still choose if I -d and/or what containers I wanted to start/stop.
So this is why alias in fish are literally functions...
wait why are you leaving?!
We haven't even gone over the varient rules yet!
These people are a critical part of the computer ecosystem. Without them, no one would use any settings other than the default. We may not have yet discovered the dark theme.
Good meme.
postman hands him card reader, he instantly asks where the settings are
This is awesome XD
"Bro this screen is too bright, is there a dark mode?"
every command he runs is an alias
Okay thats me. I love my aliases, I store them in separate files in ~/.config/fish/conf.d
postman hands him card reader
I'm not getting it. I guess I don't interact with postmen enough, because I have no idea how a card reader is related to mail delivery.
Me neither, I sometimes have to sign on a device
Perhaps it's about payment-on-delivery.
Pretty usual in Slovakia, though you'll be generally charged some extra for not paying in advance. Usually something like β¬1.
Idk, but it could be because the payment of the delivery is done 'via surname' to the postman when the package is handed over. So the bank can't track on what you spend your money on (in case you are afraid they do). This option exists at least in Germany. However, it costs an high extra fee.
I dont think we do that in germany, shipping is always paid in advance
It's called "per Nachnahme", C.O.D. in English. You'd pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn't remember. Not used a lot any more these days.
God I love cash on delivery
Interesting, never had this
In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it's 5 - 6β¬ extra, I don't know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.
Now do the βpuristβ that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to βsave memoryβ when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This one hits scarily close to home
I even use a non-POSIX shell (https://www.nushell.sh/), with my config synced with Syncthing
At some point we all need to move away from insecure bash scripts.
I personally do most of my heavy scripting in python
Python is great for scripting, but the advantages of nu and powershell are the ease of interacting with system utilities and the availability of common commands like ls etc.
of course, you can always do subprocess.run or os.listdir(), but that is not as simple as scripting in nu or powershell.
That shell reminds me a lot of PowerShell
What was her roleplay fantasy? Asking for a friend.
I dunno really, something about tech support and no money
I was having a hard time with the fursuit, and she just said "forget it" after the third time i mentioned GNU/Linux
