@leoncowle @kurtsh they've lost the sauce.
Oh sure, Rodenberry's old vision of an altruistic #navy floating through space might be a bit outdated - especially in a time when the only thing a navy reminds us of is either protecting #sovereignty in pure desperation or upholding some #imperialistic game - but my god what they did to the cannon.
It's an absolute mess and absolutely wipes it's hind quarters with all the stories, trials and tribulations of characters and arcs of the past.

Some really neat tricks here in this Shell Tricks blog post by https://burningboard.net/@Larvitz -- thanks Larvitz!
I knew of most of them, but am glad to have now learned of:
1. "fc" to edit the previous command in your editor of choice
2. "**" (globstar) for recursive searching instead of needing to use find (or ls -R)
3. That "esc-." is repeatable to go back further than just the previous command's last arg. I use that all the time, but never thought to hit it more than once!https://blog.hofstede.it/shell-tricks-that-actually-make-life-easier-and-save-your-sanity/

@kimvanwyk I have been having so much fun with Advent Of Code 2025 (https://adventofcode.com/2025) -- thanks for putting me on to that!
I'm done with Day 10 (so 20 puzzles). I was able to solve 18 completely on my own. I only used AI for lookup-type questions, e.g. easiest way to create a list comprehension that takes stringA and turns it into a list of sets. (silly made up example, just to illustrate what I used AI for -- i.e. no help with the design of the solution itself, only language specific help, not puzzle logic help.)
Day 7 Part 2: After a couple of days of frustration, I had to peek at your solution in GitHub, and immediately grok-ed the approach you took and was able to manually replicate it.
Day 10 Part 2…. I hate to report… is the first one I eventually had to turn to ChatGPT to for the entire solution. It required higher order math-combination logic that I am not at all familiar with. I first wrote logic that was able to correctly brute force the example data, but the real data took the number of combinations to ridiculous levels -- well beyond my PC's reasonable abilities. So it required algorithms that I know NOTHING about. I am VERY impressed that ChatGPT was able to first give a brute force method when I gave it the example data, and when I gave it one line from the real data, it went “woah there buddy, that’s not possible with brute force, so let me give you a mathematical algorithmic way” and it then gave me a solution which worked first try, and solves the full problem in 2.5 seconds. Hate that I had to turn to AI, but there was no way I was going to solve that.

I wonder how many free trial sign-ups #FuboTV, #Hulu+LiveTV, #SlingTV, etc, are getting during this very public negotiations spat between #YouTubeTV and #Disney (which covers #ABC, #ESPN, etc channels)?
I went with FuboTV (5 days free) in order to catch tonight's Cowboys game, and then I'll cancel tomorrow. And then consider my options if the weekend arrives without an agreement, in order to catch the #Formula1 race* (#BrazilGP).
*[which luckily won't be an issue anymore next year, when #AppleTV takes over F1 in the US, and my Apple One subscription includes it].

@Leon Cowle @Stefan Bohacek Yes, that's the trouble with CW policing: People don't police CWs in general. They often don't just police the obvious CWs for porn and gore either. Instead, they aim to enforce all the CWs which they personally need. Regardless of what someone else may or may not need. Then you comply, and then someone else comes and berates or even sanctions you for using too many and/or completely superfluous CWs.
I've compiled a list with over 140 topics that someone demanded be CW'd at some point. And it's very incomplete because it should technically include politics from not only every last nation on the planet, but also every last federal state, province etc.
The worst offenders are those overly sensitive snowflakes who probably came over from Tumblr, and who present themselves as so easily triggered that they absolutely need literally everything CW'd. And as so feeble that they cannot take care of protecting themselves in any way. Granted, I think it'd be too much for them to set up hundreds or thousands of individual filters, especially what with how unnecessarily complex Mastodon's filters are. But still, they see themselves as entitled enough to demand everyone force CWs for everything on everyone, regardless of who needs CWs for what, because they need CWs for everything.
