while true; do

isn’t exactly harder to read than

while true
do

though, is it? And going back to my original point, I don’t like while true being on its own as to me it looks like it’s meant to be a separate statement rather than part of the do/done block.

So you’d rather it all be on one line? I’d only do that if it’s a very simple command, otherwise you’re just making the code harder to read.

Simplest solution might just be to dual-boot Windows if you can’t get a VM working

I’d write

while true; do
    X
done

for the same reason I’d write

if [ something ]; then
    X
fi

or in another language

if (something) {
    X
}

Because it’s all part of the same statement and having a single line with just do or { seems silly and implies (to me) that the lines aren’t related.

The prototype scans open tabs locally, suggests topical names, and auto-bundles related pages. Because all processing happens on the user’s computer, the company says, neither raw content nor behavioral signals are uploaded to the cloud.

“AI” is just a buzzword, this isn’t chatbot nonsense as far as I can tell.

This one’s pretty good

I had to check the syntax because I also don’t use it enough to be sure, definitely a bit weird. Basically just grep for a regex and print the specified column.

Are you opposed to using awk? Printing out a specific column is basically the only thing I actually know how to do with it: df -h --output=avail,source | awk '/dm-2/ {print $1}'

I think you can just buy a pack of stickers for your preferred layout for a fiver if you want the low-tech solution!

Incredible picture to use for a new job announcement

Doesn’t Windows leave program files and data all over the place too?

!linuxphones@lemmy.ca and !linuxphones@lemmy.ml aren’t the busiest communities but there do seem to be a few people giving it a proper go

Well professional developers are often employed by companies that want make use of open source code to sell their proprietary code. It seems more likely to me that those companies will instruct their developers not to work on any GPL code rather than some big ideological shift in the individual developers.

I was about to say “what article?” because this is just an image post, but then I opened this in the web ui and apparently there’s a linked post that my client isn’t showing!

The point of making of open to everyone was so they’d have other traffic to hide their own secret communications amongst, right?
