This is how I do it as well. Shell scripts that I include in a project are named with a .sh extension so other users can identify them easily. Scripts that I want to run as commands often are in my $HOME/bin/ and don’t have an extension. Sometimes those are convenience symlinks with easier names, so ~/bin/example might be a link to ~/repos/example-project/example-script-with-long-name.sh.

The recursive centaur is half horse, half recursive centaur.

When I take my dog for a walk, he finds the biggest stick he can, whether or not he can carry it.

When I was in high school I knew a kid that loved Braveheart so much he got a reproduction of the claymore, a sword that was easily ten inches taller than him.

I think some dudes, no matter the species, just like the big pointy stick.

“Gradually, then suddenly.”

You were downvoted but you’re right. What’s the cutesy nickname for people who use email? Do these people still say they’re surfing the information superhighway?

Explicit policies are better than implicit policies. A code of conduct shouldn’t consist of unwritten rules. Maybe this is why you were rejected? It seems like you didn’t understand the purpose or content of their policies when you applied.

I would also like multi-account support. We need both alts and throwaways.

This is America, people get shot to death by their own toddlers.

Reactionary contrarianism is basically the conservative’s signature move.

This analogy should be the top comment. Fediverse services are like email services. They’re basically interchangeable. If your email service starts to suck, you get a new email address. It’s a huge pain to move all your old email, copy your contacts, set up redirections, and then change your contact info everywhere, but what’s the alternative? Are you not going to have an email address?

If ActivityPub services become the kind of de facto standard that email did, unless you’re a server admin the instances will fade into the background noise of the internet, just like your email server has. Once we establish the standards on how a server should be maintained and moderated, it will become easier to see and ban rogue operators, just the way we do with email spammers now.

Does anybody worry about the political leanings of their office Exchange365 administrator?
