I love making desktop entries that run scripts. I feel like god as the dominoes fall yet I see myself as a person who knows nothing. Windows makes this process easy, yet I am not a fan of windows or the new menus ... Like like the right click window...just change the stupid icons back to plain old "cut" and "copy".There is probably a way to change this but I hate windows and spending time on it. windows makes me sad.

The title of this post seems deranged and nonsensical. No idea what it's supposed to mean. The post itself? Pressing the fuck out of X.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

Its a reference to spiders georg, a tumblr joke.

Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the fediverse to know nothing about Tumblr.

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Glad I could help!

You're not the only one.

Reminds me of high school. The jocks (mathletes) would stuff me into server closets because I used nano instead of vi. Popular girls would laugh at me because I didn't know about tab complete until junior year. Bad times.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 0 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Honestly if you use nano you deserved it

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Nano is perfectly fine as an editor.

Sure, Neovim might be the best, but Nano will do fine in a pinch.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Why the hate on nano?

I prefer it but generally use vim because I don't want to install it on work machines.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, micro is the real goat. Vim and emacs are just bloat.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 1 points 7 hours ago

I forgot micro existed. Nice editor.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

My preference is VIM with gasp mouse features enabled. Blasphemous, I know.

I was using a command line and modifying games I typed in out of a magazine in like, 4th grade. Also not normal.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm with you, I was writing programs in BASIC for ten years before I touched a boob

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 33 points 1 day ago

I learned BASIC in my 30s too.

In 5th grade I couldn't find the internet explorer icon. The mousepad was full of icons but no internet explorer.

[–] PolarKraken@programming.dev 3 points 22 hours ago

Well, if you were looking for internet explorer on your mousepad, I think 5th grade you was lacking some important info

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

if it was a something like a c64 in the 1980s, it certainly was normal.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think there were enough C64's produced for it to be "normal".

I was coding Fortran on punched cards then, I didn't know anyone with a computer at home then - they were still expensive hobbies. The Commodore was certainly part of opening it up, but damn few people had them.

I was definitely looked at as unusual at the time for doing any kind of "computer stuff".

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in the mid 80s, the c64 was the best selling computer (afaik, still is to this day, the single best-selling model ever), sold like 2m+ units a year, outsold even PCs and apple, and had ~ 40% market share.

it was cheap, it had lots of software, and was accessible--selling at discount retailers instead of just computer stores and shops.

yea. it was 'normal'.

abnormal would have been an outlier like a trs80 or ti99/4a instead of one of the 'big three' of the day.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Normal for personal computers... which were abnormal at the time.

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

It was a Tandy 1000 in the 80s. Which was a weird computer to have, but worked well enough.

Nothing taught me more about networking than our LAN parties. Even the least computer literate in our friend group knows how to set up a small network without DHCP.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When I was six, the idea of a personal computer was science fiction.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago

Me too but we were just poor

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ha ha you're old.

I mean so am I but you too

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Greetings fellow geezer! Let's have a brewski on the porch and talk about how young people just don't have any respect any more!

My 7 year old has a Linux box but only uses it to read comics infrequently. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
