For me the most important aspects of terminal commands is that (1) you are forced to learn how your OS really works and (2) the terminal will always be able to do things that your GUI isn't programmed to do.
For example, I use brew commands to install brew packages on bazzite because there is no GUI frontend available. I also use it to start ollama LLMs on my machine even though there is a GUI frontend available, because I don't need a frontend for two commands.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
I don't need CON if I nuke them from orbit.
What you use depends on your requirements. Excel can be just the right thing if it gets the job done, it has some great features, and with some outside help you can do basic versioning and whatever else you may need.
Databases are best for when you need:
Documented Approval processes
Documented versioning
Interfaces with other IT tools
Managing LOTS of various types of data
Metadata
Especially the last two are where a database shines. If you have lots of different types of data/files, then there is no good way to keep them organized in a static file structure. By adding tags to them (like date created, file type, priority, status, customer, project name, etc.) you can later search and filter based on what you are looking for. Need all files related to a certain project with the status "active"? Easy, just tell the database that it should filter based on those tags and boom, done.
SQL is a great place to start if you want to learn about programming. If you are just looking to stay organized, then programs like obsidian are awesome. You can very easily make a database out of obsidian with the free tutorials for plugins like dataview and templater.
Love this. WoD isn't about balance, it's about storytelling.
Were the Watchmen balanced? No. Was the storytelling amazing? Yes.
There are tabletop games that are more focused on the mechanics, and for those balance is important. But not WoD, baby.
"Little to no" gender-affirming surgeries are being performed on minors in the United States, and those that are performed are overwhelmingly on cisgender minors.
Out of the 151 breast reductions that were performed in 2019 on American minors, 146 (97 percent) were performed on cisgender males, according to a new study published in JAMA. Out of the 636 breast reductions performed on adults, 507 (80 percent) were performed on cisgender males.
The study used data from 47,437,919 adults and 22,827,194 minors who were insured that year, finding that chest-related operations accounted for 1,591 out of 2,664 (59.7 percent) of surgical procedures performed on adults, and 82 of 85 (96.4 percent) of surgical procedures performed on minors.
I'd bet that you were one of those cis kids that got his breasts reduced, and like a closeted priest you are publicly shaming what you privately do. But there is no shame in it. It is a non-issue, used by the ultra-wealthy to distract from their hubris.
I'm an electrical engineer that has become a proprietary cloud-tool admin. I occasionally use an LLM (chatGPT web) to write VBA code to do various API calls and transform excel/Jason/XML/CSV data from one format to another for various import/export tasks that would otherwise eat up my time.
I just use the chat, and copy/paste the code.
I spend an hour to meticulously describe the process I need the code to do, and then another hour or two testing, debugging and polishing, and get a result that would take me days to produce by myself. I then document the code (I try to use lots of sub-modules that can be reused) so that I can use the LLM less in the future.
I don't feel great about the environment impact, which is why I try to limit the usage, and do debugging and improvements by myself. I'm also trying to push management to invest in a lean LLM that runs on the companies servers. I'm also looking into getting a better PC privately, which I could also run a local LLM on and use for work.
I think this comic is more about the feeling of it. I certainly feel like my work-issued iphone gets more and more bogged-down with every major update, with less and less room for apps and media. It certainly feels like the only reason for the bloat is to goad me into buying cloud storage and/or a new model.
And just to be clear, I'm not hating on apple. Given the predatory nature of late-stage capitalism, apple is probably the least-shitty of the IT megacorps.
I think you are mixing up several issues here. I too am worried about the increasing surveillance of various governments, and the rise of authoritarianism. But UBI doesn't have anything to do with that. There was no pilot program that I'm aware of where participants didn't get to keep the money. There was also no restrictions on internet usage or other restrictions put on them.
Of course UBI could be used by a government as a tool of oppression. But that doesn't make it inherently evil. I can use a hammer to kill someone, but I can also use it to help them. It is not the tool, but the use, that makes something good or evil.
I encourage you to read more about the various programs that have been done, many of them show great benefit for the people and the economy. The only ones that don't benefit from it are the billionaires and oligarchs.

Ich würde sagen ja. Es steht nirgendwo schwarz auf weiß, das eine Mitarbeiter der Betriebsrats-Mitglied aussuchen darf für ein solches Gespräch, aber der Betriebsrat hat den Pflicht in Sinne der Mitarbeiter zu handeln, und macht sich sogar strafbar wenn die dies nicht tun. Hier einen Beispiel für ein mögliches Pflichtverletzung:
Verhandlungen mit dem Arbeitgeber zum Nachteil der Mitarbeiter
Gnommen von hier:
https://rechtsanwalt-tillmann.de/betriebsrat-mitarbeiter-rechte/
Und hier sind die Rechten und Pflichten gut zusammengefasst:
https://www.rae-schreiner.de/teilnahmerecht-des-betriebsrats-bei-mitarbeitergespraechen/
Der Arbeitgeber darf einen Mitglied des Betriebsrats hinzuziehen nur unter bestimmte Bedingungen. Der Arbeitnehmer dagegen darf immer hinzuziehen.
Ich bin kein Anwalt, und auch nicht der super-profi hier, aber die Dokumente im Netz helfen hier viel weiter. Ich empfehle die langsam und wachsam durchzulesen, und ggf. einen Gespräch mit einen Anwalt zu suchen.
I'm not drinking today! I've been sober for a while, and it's getting easier to resist the temptation with time. I sleep so much better, and a nice cold non-alcoholic beer often helps me as a placebo.
