@aschmitz @aescling @Satsuma @wallhackio if it doesn’t support Unicode it is merely a code unit editor, not a text editor

@aescling @Satsuma @aschmitz @wallhackio i also like the having a native text editor parts of Mac

@aschmitz @Satsuma @wallhackio i am not particularly good at shell scripting but that’s because i abstract all the control logic into GNU Make syntax but Caleb already rejected that one

@aschmitz @Satsuma @wallhackio honestly if you want to be portable ruby is likely a better bet than shell

@Satsuma @aschmitz @wallhackio it is true though, you can just do all of your scripting in Deno if you want, it just feels excessive for the task of “pipe a bunch of files to pandoc”

@aescling @wallhackio i presume your shell scripts probably do not work on BSD then

@aescling @wallhackio read The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 8, Volume 3: Shell & Utilities

@coriander @aescling just wait until a decade from now when the kids who were too young to remember the scandal grow up

@coriander @wallhackio the question is whether the ingredient you cannot locally source is as rare and particular as Cortas Eau de Rose ماء الورد – كل كلاب

@coriander @wallhackio that said i’m pretty sure our Cortas Eau de Rose ماء الورد – كل كلاب was probably purchased on amazon, albeit not by us

@coriander @wallhackio i have bought food i can’t find in my local grocery store on target

@aescling nothing on linux is standardized in the formal sense it is all just convention

@coriander Snoop Dogg reminds us of Starsky & Hutch, which reminds us of a time when Hey Ya! was still getting radio play, and we all wish Hey Ya! was still getting radio play because that song still bops

@wallhackio @aescling @vaporeon_ girls don’t want switch between ruby versions at any time girls want multi ruby release channel drifting thru shell PATH hacks

@aschmitz @aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ it was a medium deal during the ruby 2 to 3 upgrade when many older repositories were not yet ruby 3 compatible. i mostly haven't had compatibility issues since then and 3 to 4 seems like less of a jump, so unless you are on bullseye for some reason system ruby might be ok

@aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ i recommend using rbenv rather than installing ruby from a package manager because needing to switch ruby versions is common and a pain

rbenv says to install from git rather than use apt install because the latter is out of date

@freya @aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ libyaml is an old, probably fine but also amateur implementation of YAML 1.1 (the current version of YAML is 1.2.2)

YAML 1.1 is the reason why YAML has such a bad reputation and YAML 1.2 fixed a lot of the issues and is much better, but unfortunately the Ruby community (and especially the Rails community) has probably built too much infrastructure around YAML 1.1’s weird and quirky behaviour to ever make the switch

@aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ not a stable release, not updated in five years, not conforming to the current spec, and a major load‐bearing component of the Ruby ecosystem?
