Rating prompt symbols

$

The dollar sign is a classic. Default on bash and familiar to everyone. Does remind of capitalism though. 7/10

The hash symbol is almost universally used for root shells. They say it protects users from accidentally copying in dangerous commands but I'm not convinced. 9/10

%

The percent sign is the default user prompt symbol for zsh and csh. Effective and straight to the point. 8/10

>

Never seen the greater-than symbol in a shell but here and there in custom prompts. Makes me feel like im talking to the machine. 10/10

You asked for some cursed stuff so here you go-

Behold, the question mark. Who knows what the heck is going on behind it. Not the machine, and certainly not you.

Uh... Free healthcare and education, good public transport?

the questionmark is kinda cute, it's like the computer asking "what now? 🥺" 6/10

euro mark is cursed, 2/10

The section sign is kinda funny. Would make sense for people who not only use LaTeX, but also know what they're doing. 7/10

I once set my prompt symbol to ⚧ but most terminal emulators don't really render it in a way that looks nice.

I've also seen people using λ and I think it looks cool

Good luck, ausies. May your election season be less nightmarish.

rip to all the “fuckyeah___” blogs that carried our society at one point </3

we are in the midst of a true Real One

Dude the fact a COELACANTH blog is the one that survived when the rest died off……..

I don't think that money is actually the root of all evil like if we got rid of money there would still be stuff to hoard inequality still existed before the invention of money

Money is quite a useful tool for doing business with people you don't know. And real billionaires don't just have a gigantic Scrooge McDuck sized pile of coins they're sitting on. They're hoarding housing, the means of production, imaginary value taken out in investment. This system would be just as bad if we were all paid out in quantities of rice or something.

In large scale societies where not everyone knew each other before money people got paid in like bread or something similar. And sometimes their employer wouldn't give them their bread ration and they'd have to strike or something. Money is just a more efficient bread distribution system and people can also hoard bread.

I have come across multiple people on this very website we are on right now who think that capitalism=money and if we abolished money our system would be solved. Money is not inherently the problem. It's the guys hoarding all the bread.

Matching your final sentence, the full quote is, "The love of money is the root of evil." Trimming off the first three words is a favorite tactic to stand the meaning on its head.

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

If you have the time and flexibility, you can also try out libreoffice.

Just did this on November 14th, 2024, so this is very current!

It works - make sure to also turn off "All Connected Experiences"

on Mac it's Word -> Preferences -> General -> Privacy -> Manage Connected Experiences

Did you know this is happening now? They sent an aid truck then an hour later, they raided the shelter and burned the aid and killed the civilians

13 November 2024

I heard there was fresh meat, fresh vegetables, the BEST food possible brought in DIRECTLY to the school, unlike how the IOF frequently lead aid trucks down the worst paths, so it go there safe, all the more to be the best bait possible.

Yes :(

"killing billionaires wont solve the problem of wealth inequality" no but killing elon musk would solve the problem of elon musk

The book is 1984, which is neither. It's anti-authoritarian, which tells you a lot.

Ya know, sometimes I wish the joke *didn’t* write itself.

2010. A Japanese woman sits down to take photos of her shiba inu dog for her blog. Suddenly, a man leaps out of a time portal. "Sorry, I can't let you do this. I cannot tell you why." She asks: "Is it forbidden knowledge from the future?" He sighs: "No, it's just too fucking stupid to explain."

Elon is recruiting randos from Twitter to compete for the chance to work themselves to death figuring out how to take away your welfare.

Nothing says efficiency like creating a whole ass new department with two co-chairs.

Nothing says efficency like creating a new "department" to do the job already being done by an existing office.
