@Satsuma @wallhackio @coriander i bet their spotify is 100% video game soundtracks

@Satsuma @wallhackio @coriander yeah hiphop sampling would have been a better example but this person clearly does not listen to good music

@wallhackio @coriander they think that interacting with an AI regurgitation of all of the culture it copyright infringement stole is the same kind of participation with the cultural milieu as singing along to your favourite song

@coriander i understand what they are trying to say but it is bad

@aescling @wallhackio case statements use § 2.14 Pattern Matching Notation which is absurd and far inferior to grep for any but the most basic usecase

@wallhackio i am just making fun of the posix shell but i am also making fun of you for tolerating it (and not just doing an if…elif…fi chain which does not require you to type esac)

@wallhackio e‐sac

@aescling @wallhackio https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42679090/what-is-an-icon-file

@aescling @wallhackio (did you know that a file with the name `Icon´ followed by a carriage return is how macOS has stored folder icons since forever? 🌠)

@aescling @wallhackio you are the operator of your computer, not POSIX

@aescling @wallhackio files cannot have newlines in them that is absurd

they can have spaces in them however,,

@aescling @wallhackio *find. find is for that.

file is just for getting the type of the file

@aescling @wallhackio file is for a recursive directory search but there is no reason why you can¦t call file in a makefile

@wallhackio if you are doing `${file%flac}mp3"´ anyway can¦t you just switch on file extension rather than making a call to `file´?

if it were me i would parallelize this by using GNU Make which has a parallelization option

probably, to get all the functionality you want, creating some default rules to generate a %.mp3 from a %.flac and a fallback match-anything rule that treats its target as a directory (using FORCE) with secondary expansion to set the child files as dependencies from the target name dynamically (i think that works…)

but i¦m sure there is a more sane way

@wallhackio this motherfucker typed esac
