I can't imagine working without GenAI any more. I often write quick bash scripts to automate things, but for some reason, the syntax always falls out of my head and I'm constantly looking things up.
Now I just hit ChatGPT and ask it to write the script for me. With the latest version, is usually works perfectly the first time, so long as I craft a good prompt. This is a huge productivity boost.
Back from outing: getting out of #fish is really hard. Tried going back to #bash (even with #blesh), tried #OilShell and none of them really work (failed bug reports). Sad. Anybody know about actually working POSIX-compatible interactive shell which actually works and at least from distance can compete with fish?
I was going to make a funny joke that I was going to create a #bash utility called "splain" so I could "man splain" what it's for...
but it already exists, from perl-diagnostics (1995).
And "man splain" returns:
"produce verbose warning diagnostics"
🤯
According to Merriam-Webster:
"The splain of mansplain isn't new. It's been used to mean "explain" in texts showing informal speech or—as when Ricky Ricardo admonished his beloved in I Love Lucy—in imperfect English for at least a century."
I learned by accident today that you can change your working directory in Fish shell using Alt and the left/right arrow keys. It basically keeps track of the history of your directory navigation, and flips through your history.
Nous cherchons des personnes #mal-voyantes ou #aveugles qui s'intéressent à la ligne de commande #bash, pour voir si elle seraient prêtes à essayer notre librairie pour son #accessibilite.
Il y a déjà 13 commandes à tester.
Au delà des problèmes de vue, cette librairie peut faciliter la vie d'un public plus large, puisqu'elle filtre les sorties de commandes pour les réduire à l'essentiel.
Pour cette 13ème édition de la journée mondiale de sensibilisation à l'accessibilité #a11y, ARN, @hackstub et le groupe a11y-libre, propose à toutes les personnes qui pratiquent la ligne de commande, un hackaton « asynchrone » sur le thème « ligne de commande et cécité » !
Vous avez jusqu'au 31 mai, pour envoyer vos contributions. Il y a de nombreux lots à gagner.
Notre #hackaton pour rendre les shells accessibles est en cours jusqu'au 31 mai, nous publierons ici quelques contributions chaque jour.
Xogium propose des alias #bash qui désactivent les barres de progressions sur les commandes #docker et #pipenv (#python) car ces 2 commandes détournent des caractères brailles pour l'affichage de la barre...
Voilà qui améliore effectivement l'accessibilité de ces 2 commandes. Il y en a probablement d'autres dans le même genre.
Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?
Sometimes I'm busy and can't read at that moment, so I save the article/news as plain text in a PDF file to read it later. It works most of the time, but it's not perfect.
You'll need: torsocks (optional), lynx and LibreOffice installed.
Save it as a #bash file like "pdf.sh", make it executable with "chmod +x pdf.sh" and then use it like this:
We just released Execa 9, which is our biggest release so far.
If you're currently using Execa, you should check out the new features! Also, if you're currently using zx or Bun shell, you might be interesting in this alternative.
Any good cli/terminal spell checking programmes? Pass in a file, get an terminal interactive “replace this with that / ignore / add to dict.” workflow.
I remember using aspell(1) back in Ye Olden Days. Is that still the best?
