    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.

    Now do the “purist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to “save memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

    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.

    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.

          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.

              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.

                  In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it’s 5 - 6€ extra, I don’t know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.

          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.

            This is true

            Although, i find this isn’t as much an issue if you use python’s STL as much as you can

            Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

            But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA

            Oh there’s also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python
