I liked She-Hulk. It should have been better. But I did really enjoy the show. It was too preachy, it wasn't flushed out as well as it should have been. But some of the things were funny, and the story was okay. I think of given another season it could have found its voice...or it could have ended up like that 90s show and the second season was worse than the first

I use to give people shit that the default ls command was from 2002. They finally fucking upgraded it in like 2020. But yeah. That's some old fucking software.

I have had some truley awful CFA sandwiches. When they are good they are fine. But Everytime I go to one it is really hit or miss. So why bother?

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "Ancient Conflict". But the Levant was historically a strategic piece of land that biodged Anatolia/Mesopotamia with Egypt. Control over this region has been a constant battle through out recorded history.

As I admitted in my first response if you mean something like control over a homeland/holy land, like the conquest of Canaan, yeah that's a relatively recent thing. But as far as battle ground, I think you should think more about what those battles mean in context of history. Van de Mieroop has a great History of the Ancient Near East that I would highly recommend. Mostly because ancient near eastern history is really cool.

May I introduce you to the Amarna Letters? The battle of Qarqar? The Battle of Carchemesh? The Battle of Kadesh? So while you are correct in that there is no "Conquest of Canaan" as reported in the Bible, see David Illan, ancient Canaan has always been a battle ground. You could also talk about the wars between the selucides and the ptolemies too, but, I don't know as much about them.

I actively only monitor a couple of channels for music, but try and be open to new sources. I follow a couple of genres on Bandcamp (most of these are bad, but it's fun to hear new things). I follow MrDoom666, StonedMeadowOfDoom, and Atmospheric Black Metal Albums on YouTube.

I get enough music to listen to. I ask friends for what they are listening to, and I know I am going to be missing some music, and that's okay.

I don't listen to everything that comes through the channels I follow, and will quickly turn it off if I'm not liking it.

When's the last time you used Wayland? I tried a few years back and there were quite a few paper cuts.

I've been using sway for about six months and there is one obnoxious paper cut, and one thing that just doesn't work.

The paper cut for me is a java app that won't render menus correctly. Most menus work, but there are a few that don't draw properly.

The one thing that still doesn't work is deskflow.

Screen sharing with zoom and Google meet and jitsi work fine. Keyboard input changes work fine, and most things are just hunky dory.

This is what I use

Uh.... Have you tried Fish? Or even a modern ZSH? Like oh my ZSH?

I guess I don't want notepad tools. But I can set my key bindings in ZSH to vi bindings and do things like:

$ cat <<EOF | sparql --data=some.ttl --query=/dev/stdin
SELECT ?s ?p ?o
WHERE {
  ?s ?p ?o . 
} 
LIMIT 10
EOF

And that gives me a real basic text editor. Granted with syntax highlighting on, it thinks I'm trying to do ZSH scripts. But if you needed a ZSH script it would be perfect.

Second, tab works great for auto complete, it even suggests stuff (as long as you have that enabled, or the command supports it. Some clis do not have support for auto complete, but the shell does)

Modern shells are pretty fucking awesome.

I quite listening to a podcast that went hard into streaming crypto coin as a way to boost income. I think I like the idea in principle. But there is something that smells funny to me about cryptocurrency. And I don't think it actually works that well in principle. Funding open source and open access content is tough.

Do you know the etymology of these words? My understanding is that they aren't exactly "Yes" but more "As you say" or something similar. But I am no arabicist.

Arabic doesn't have a word for "yes". I don't think most semitic languages do either [Classical Hebrew does not, but Modern Hebrew does, however, the word they use in modern Hebrew is the word for "Thusly", that is now a particle]. In fact you can see that proto-indo European didn't have a word for yes: Greek is ναι, but the romance languages are si (I am pretty sure French oui is actually derived from the same root as Spanish and Italian. Could be wrong) and if my memories is correct (and it may not be) classical Latin didn't have a word for yes. And the Germanic words yes/ja have a similar origin. I can't speak to the other IE languages unfortunately.

I know there are also language families that don't have a single word for no, but use a negation mood on the verb. I unfortunately can't give you an example of this. But it should be fun to look up!
