Reminds me of the WLER railway line, and I like trains, so that makes it a great name.

(Turns out that “it reminds me of” is not a great way to evaluate a name)

Also tbh, if it does the same things as before, they could call it POOP, and I’d still use it. The name has no bearing on how it functions.

That sounds like an argument against the name change…

Here ya go. Not so much funny as sad.

I like the way you write, FWIW.

What do you mean? I hear that “SFC /SCANNOW” fixes everything!

FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”

Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.

It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”

You are correct but every little barrier helps.

Hate to just keep throwing out links to Wikipedia but … these techniques have been used to some success in the fight against fascism before.

It is much better if Linux and systemd say “oh gosh we’re not ready to implement that for at least another 2-3 years and even then only in preliminary implementations” instead of “yes sir right away sir we have that all ready to go at a moments notice, let me put that boot of yours right down my own throat”

Hey I’m not gonna disagree. I just provided an answer to what that person meant about “glowing”.

I’ll add another link that you might want to consider though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipatory_obedience

When the OS is DOS you can easily fit the entire thing on a floppy.

Mac OS system 6 too, I think.

reread Chicken Little

If those people could read, they’d be … less upset, I guess.

It’s always been wild to me how the seemingly-simplest change (“what is the name of this computer”) has so many little gotchas and quirks.

It is as long as you pay attention to who is in a group chat

Ah I am not bothered by the cryptocurrency … thing. It’s pretty well buried in the app, and doesn’t seem like anything they’re particularly trying to push. More like a failed experiment.

Why do you say signal is not the best option? My only discomfort with it is the phone number requirement (and I think they maybe relaxed that)

Fair enough. I’d never consider less to be a TUI program.

If it doesn’t support .beat time, I don’t care!

(Just kidding, always happy to see Linux in more places. But I do want my metric time.)

Someone has never configured a managed network router! Disorganized feature creep is the name of the game in there: gotta make sure the old commands still work exactly the same but add new ones constantly for new features!

I’d say vi is in a fuzzy grey area below a tui. It’s more than a cli but shares a lot with cli programs; it pretty much has its own command line built in. At the same time it has nothing like dialog box or menus like normal tui programs.
