@soulcutter It's always felt situational to me. I usually ignore it by default, except:

* for mailing lists from legit companies I will sometimes unsubscribe
* for new user confirmations on certain services, I have sometimes tried to use the "this wasn't me" link when one is provided...always enlightening when these links don't actually work 🙄
* in a couple specific cases I have actually submitted customer support requests to demand an account be closed

@testobsessed Back in 2019 I ordered a charger from Anker's official Amazon store because it was out of stock on Anker's own website. The item arrived wrapped in bubble wrap but otherwise loose in its shipping box, rather than in retail packaging. Anker support said that everything they send to Amazon is in retail packaging, but Amazon has ultimate control over what they ship when they fulfill an order on Anker's behalf. I assume this applies to all "Fulfilled by Amazon" sellers.

@testobsessed Amazon can and do fulfill orders with items provided by other sellers (aka commingled inventory), even if those items are damaged or have been returned open. They have done a spectacular job training people to not care about where the stuff they buy is sourced by removing as much friction as possible.

That charger was the last thing I bought from Amazon.

@mcg @davetron5000 iTerm as well

@esparta 🥴

@esparta In my experience, that means it used enough memory to be targeted by the OOM killer.

@davetron5000 Apple Maps has a beta website... I think it's beta.maps.apple.com but of course I can't pull it up on my iPhone because it demands I open the native app instead 🙄

@postmodern Are you actually mutating the String? Maybe something like:

```
Thing.log_to(io)
Thing.mutate(str)
```

Technically you're "mutating" the IO/File object, too, but I feel like that word isn't commonly used in that context...

@postmodern Sounds like you're describing Logger...initialize with a file path, IO object, or nil...

Aside: TIL Logger has rotation built in 😲

@postmodern @soulcutter Is it the responsibility of ruby-install to push people to upgrade, or is it to meet them where they are when possible?

To play devil's advocate...

Isn't the logical conclusion of the former that ruby-install should drop support for EOL rubies entirely? That is Homebrew's policy. They drop support for EOL macOS as soon as a new major revision is released, and they killed their openssl@1 package as soon as it was no longer a dependency for any other supported package.

@postmodern Our needs are light, so HTTP with TLS and basic auth is fine.

@postmodern `:set guifont` should show you the current value, which will include the size. Then you can adjust as needed. Weird that it would change significantly after an update...

@soulcutter Do some quick and mundane chore-like task around the house/office/car. This can provide a nice mental break and also a sense of accomplishment to help restore motivation. It can also become a procrastination trap, though, so try to put limits in place.

@johnkapri @nshki The 12th gen chips are interesting because they introduced hybrid cores (performance vs efficiency), but as of last year Linux support seemed mixed. I think it's been in the kernel for a couple years, but whether you can make use of it depends on distribution support...

@johnkapri @nshki +1 I spent a bunch of time researching NUCs and whatnot, and eventually I also settled on used micro-sized PCs. I have a Dell 3090 with a 10th gen chip (i5-10500T), and it's been great. Plenty available on eBay being resold after decommissioned by big companies, sometimes still with active support contracts. Most have T-series chips, which are pretty low power, typically used in mid-level laptops.

@davetron5000 Consider #4 as well:

@nshki Yep...I used Slack in Firefox successfully a couple years ago (including Huddles), but since I migrated to a new machine last year, Huddles haven't worked since. I think it was a pretty fragile setup on the old machine, and there's some small difference on the new one that broke it 😞

@davetron5000 I think you have a copy/paste error in the last test...description says "false" but expected value is `true`...

@b0rk Having glob characters expand when you don't want them to, like when trying to copy multiple files with `scp` and forgetting to quote or escape the "*" ...

@Pepijn I am apparently at the stage in which I post about how I have become jealous of someone else's new laundry bucket.
