@bx ahah, yeah! it looks like that's used to set the record size to a certain number of blocks?
@bx ahah, it's nothing wild
x - extractv - verbosej - bzip2p - preserve permissionsf - (the thing after this needs to be the filename)
i've replaced j with a for the most part since that means "automatically detect the compression", but on older things, z for gzip is also handy
when i want to create something, i just replace x with c and i'm done
the only thing i don't used that baseline for is tar tv which lets you see the contents of a tar file (after f still)
@bx hee, the sorcery flows through you!
i legit ended up memorizing tar xvjpf from the gentoo handbook once, and have just mentally made modifications to that information since
@cinnamon !! that's rad!
@lyncia oh! this!
and the entire time i'm just blowing bubbles that deal 0 damage until someone beats me up
@cinnamon the mental whiplash between those two sentences, wowww
@SomeEgrets@meow.social oh yeah, yikes :s
maybe other kinds of online could feel less...time-vampirey than sns?
because like, i see you around pretty often! but i also don't think i've seen you talk about games or other more instant social stuffs much!
or are those kind of miserable for you too..?
hellsite splintering like it has been is really causing a lot of this style of social to just be generally more stressful and less accessible, and that really super-sucks when it's your only one :T
outer wilds, extreme endgame spoilers, puzzle appreciation
@karma gosh, i remember that i would specifically try to jam my ship into the hole in the roof of that building in order to not get sucked up into the sky while i waited
it was legit the last thing on my ship log, and the fact that it didn't feel frustrating to find because of the context of the rest of the game is some absolutely next-level design
@XerShadowTail @ticky@octodon.social oh, me too! i like how clean you can make things with it~
i thought i would try out the default pixel launcher for a bit recently, but gosh, i pretty much instantly missed the tabbed app drawer and the ability to hide things i don't actually use
plus, scrolling through an endless list of apps felt pretty bad after i had spent years never needing to scroll to find things at all
i didn't last long before switching back ahah
@SomeEgrets@meow.social hopefully you can find something that can make you feel happier! because that sounds awful
(is there anything else that's social that you think you'd enjoy doing that isn't completely unfeasible..?)
@SomeEgrets@meow.social :(
anyway, the entire code for this is here if you're curious what that looks like in practice! (or if you want to modify it to do your own thing~)
tl;dr if you are unfamiliar, but you can basically css style parts of the browser that aren't modifiable with extensions or themes!
it's locked behind an about:config option though (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets)
i think it's like that because they don't really guarantee that the things you css aren't going to change between updates, though i feel like styling body in certain urls is pretty safe
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social oh yeah, and for a lot of things, testing a bad answer would take more time than just finding a good one
so like, this is still suuuuper limited as far as usefulness goes
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social i think trusting its output would be a mistake, but it also doesn't seem bad for learning about the existence of concepts to look more into yourself~
i saw someone using it to explore how to do things in programming languages they weren't familiar with yet, so they could read the documentation about the things it suggested and mess around with the new information they had
doing that apparently got them up to speed pretty quickly, which i thought was a pretty cool idea!
@VDoesntKnow this makes me think of like, how in battletech things absolutely get annihilated over time, so now you need to pick what era you are playing in so that your rasalhague-based mercenary company makes sense or whatever

Over many years, I have been gradually replacing all of the paragraphs in the Ship of Theseus Wikipedia article.

StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon's verification system in a clever way.
Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.
I spoke with the creater @tvler about the project, 🧵 below.
Visit https://streetpass.social/ to try it yourself!
@inurashii honestly? this is probably one of the best ways to use something like that!
and as long as you can recognize the possible pitfalls, finding ways of getting new things into your brain faster is not a bad thing at all~
