There is much meaningful difference - gold has widespread practical use, while paper currency does not

Nothing you’ve said is wrong, but (at least in the screenshot) the OP didn’t say anything about it being used in anything official. It’s a relatively common term in everyday language thanks to medical dramas which use coding a lot, and it’s even in the Merriam-Webster medical dictionary.
Not to invalidate what you’ve said! Just pointing out that it not being used in official contexts doesn’t make it nonsense to use elsewhere, like on some forum.
Yeah this was before I realized Lemmy didn’t have DMs 🤷🏽♂️

Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•What helps people get comfortable on the command line?6·17 days agoMaybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it’s not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.
I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.
A little off topic, but do you know of a kink community on Lemmy? Not porn, more just to talk about it/share resources, etc.
Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.English2·2 months agoOh hey, you’re totally right, that’s crazy. I use Beeper (hosted matrix setup) to aggregate my chats and I guess I’ve always been using that to search across all servers without realizing. Fully thought the DM search would also search across servers.
DMs are definitely also another case though - you can’t easily DM people on another server if that requires you to log into another server.
Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.English1·2 months agoThat’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.

Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?2·2 months agoI have the same situation. DDG has a feature where you can write “!g query” and search for “query” on Google. I use that as a fallback whenever DDG fails to yield good results - it’s super easy!
Honestly, good security instincts by your dad though. If you’re not technical enough to understand the risks, you probably shouldn’t be connecting to random servers

The only official one is neither of those sites, it’s http://revanced.app/. Anything else is probably a version patched with malware.
Or looking for asexual men! Not all asexual men are aromantic, which sounds to me like what you’re looking for - someone who wants a romantic relationship but not sex. Or maybe someone demisexual - interested in sex, but only with someone they already have romantic feelings with.
Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon tries to download videos from youtube33·3 months agoThe average person learns how to drive a car, which is akin to operating it. The average person does not know how to muck about in the engine of their car, and should not, because if they do the wrong thing they could break it. For that matter, I wouldn’t even recommend someone OPERATES the car without training.
The terminal is considered for advanced users for the same reason. Learning to copy/paste into the terminal without understanding how to use it could mean I say "oh yeah the fix for that issue is doing

Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.ml•The Pebble smartwatch is making a comeback. Google has open-sourced the Pebble software, which means anyone — including Pebble’s founder — can make one.131·4 months agoNone, he gave up after Apple blocked them once.
There were actually a couple attempts, but it’s kinda in Apple’s hands… I think he was hoping he could generate enough public outcry to force them to not block it. You can also still access it now, if you have your own mac.
Further, Beeper is just a re-skinned Matrix client with the Beeper company hosting the open source bridges between services
It’s their own client, not just reskinned, and it has a bunch of new features designed to make cross-service nice and simple. Also, the bridges ARE open-source, but the beeper company wrote a few of them and decided to open source them.
Don’t let Migicovsky take your money and mismanage it again.
He refunded everyone who bought a subscription when Apple blocked it. Beeper main is also free.
