I am pretty sure I started with either Halloween or Mother’s Day because Red Hat Linux for Dummies came with Red Hat 2.1 which I am pretty sure came out in 96 or 97. I know Red Hat 6 was released in 1999, because I was neck deep in Y2K work at the time I installed it on my Compaq laptop.

That is strange.

I have been on this Linux jam since 1996 with a CD copy of Red Hat that came with a magazine (Byte, maybe?). In 2018 I made the jump to Debian based distros specifically because I got tired of the surprises. Now my lab runs LMDE. The only thing more stable and boring is Debian Stable itself.

Like you said, I want to focus on my projects, not have the OS be my project.

In this case, we are a little behind schedule, but working to rapidly catch up.

In the Cyberpunk TTRPG universe, the original internet (known as the Net) collapsed during a catastrophic event called the DataKrash, which occurred on June 3, 2022.

Nice. Could you recreate my mess using it? We all carry bad habits and inneficiencies, so I’m down to learn a cleaner, more efficient way.

find dir1 – find something within directory “dir1”

-type f – specifies that what you are looking fir is a file

-name ‘crunk’ – the file name is ‘crunk’

-exec bash -c – for the results, execute bash command

The command executed is move (mv)

‘mv “$0” “${0/crunk/chunk}”’ {} ; – move from crunk to chunk

User @zeppo@lemmy.world is who mentioned the use of “rename”. Mentioning in order to grab their attention.

Yep

My guess is that he was doing a “find . | grep filename”, which is a way to output a list of all occurrences within that directory structure, hence why they mentioned grep.

Let’s see, and please do not execute this “as is” since I am pulling this out of my butt. Assuming directory name is “dir1”, the file to be renamed is “crunk”, and the new name is “chunk”, then… (I assumed bash)

find dir1 -type f -name 'crunk' -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0/crunk/chunk}"' {} \;

Doesn’t matter. I haven’t tried Graphene yet because I needed to keep the phone for corporate use. Now that it will be obsoleted, I canbtry Graphene, even ifbuts an older build.

I guess my old 6 Pro is finally making the jump to GrapheneOS.

You have no way of knowing that.

I love my Nvidia Shield and my 1080ti. They are some of the best tech purchases I have ever made. That said…fuck this weirdo.

If you are going to cooy and paste, copy and paste the entire thing.

Enshittification, also known as platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to both users and business customers to maximize short-term profits for shareholders.

Examples:

Academic publishing

Between 2016 and 2022 the turn over and profit margins of academic publishers increased partly due to article processing charges from open access. This has been accompanied by predatory publishers who prioritize profit over scholarly integrity. This Academic enshittification results in a scholarly system that is “overwhelmed by quantity, distorted by profit motives, and is stripped of its purpose of advancing knowledge.”

Amazon

In Doctorow’s original post, he discussed the practices of Amazon. The online retailer began by attracting users with goods sold below cost and (with an Amazon Prime subscription) free shipping. Once its user base was solidified, more sellers began to sell their products through Amazon. Finally, Amazon began to add fees to increase profits. In 2023, over 45% of the sale price of items went to Amazon in the form of various fees. Doctorow described advertisement within Amazon as a payola scheme in which sellers bid against one another for search-ranking preference, and said that the first five pages of a search for “cat beds” were half advertisements.

Dating apps

The market for dating apps has been cited as an example of enshittification due to the conflict between the dating apps’ ostensible goal of matchmaking, and their operators’ desire to convert users to the paid version of the app and retain them as paying users indefinitely by keeping them single, creating a perverse incentive that leads performance to decline over time as efforts at monetization begin to dominate.
