Janet was the first Lisp that made sense to me. Its simplicity is what helped make it 'click' in my mind. It's nice to see my sentiment towards Janet echoed here.

The basic, starter-level equipment in order to do this is very easy to obtain. You should be able to find a unit that will convert component and/or S-Video into a digital signal for very cheap.

Because Lemmy does not replace Reddit for me -- but rather, it's a different thing altogether.

Truthfully, I've not tried them.

I was about to make a comment along the lines of "I've already learned how to do command line things, my OS already comes with a few shells, why SHOULD I take the time to learn a new shell?"


but then I reflected on this and realized something: it's the same thing as saying "Windows comes with Explorer/Edge, why SHOULD I go through the trouble to pick up a new web browser?" And yet, I unquestioningly download Firefox first thing when I install a new OS, hmm.

You've made me think :]

Maybe one day I will actually understand the appeal of all these super fancy shells. They seem kinda cool on the surface but I also feel like I'd never use any of their actual features.

awk is wonderful! You can do some very incredible things with it.

Mmmpf, tar czf archive.tar.xz directory is Just Wrong to me. The "z" means gzip! Use "J" if you meant to use xz compression!

I'm not sure how booting corporations and their advertisements off of the platform will affect individual artists one way or another.

The kind of promotions that big businesses do is, well, incomparable to the kind of self-promotion that an artist does. It's a different beast entirely. At the end of the day, I'd be happy to see individual creators promoting their creativity!

We've had alternative PostScript interpreters for decades, but being able to see the OG code is pretty neat.

Frankly, this sounds kinda conspiratorial. You're not willing to step into a local shop for fear that it might not actually be a local shop?

Otherwise, there truly are more options in my area than in your area, in which case, I'm sorry to hear that.

I might become a fan since I have been very interested to the franchise for a long time, but haven't played anything yet. Would you recommend Felghana on PSP to start with?
