  • That can be a struggle. There used to be a context menu option in maybe xterm or the kde terminal emulator that would copy the wd and maybe even the highlighted file but I might be gpt hallucinating that last one.

    After fucking up bad copying from the internet into a terminal about fifteen years ago I have tried to review and understand what’s happening when copying from or to the terminal even in part. It would be bad for me if there weren’t the possibility of (at best) having shit not work when I use middle click with abandon.

    I been thinking a lot about designing technology to discourage people from using it. For example it’s a serious mistake when wearable displays are made to look like wayfarers. The danger of people accepting them socially to the point of being manipulated into a state of flow, dissociating from their reality through a combination of sight and sound augmented reality, is too high. Good design of wearable displays should prioritize function over form 100% and make the user look like an insane freak that no one wants to be around, forcing people to remove them in order to maintain social interactions.

    I think copying to and from the terminal is like that. When going between an interface which is a very high level mediator of interaction with the machine and one that’s a very low level mediator, we should be alert, on guard and proofreading everything twice. It’s good that we have to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves copying and pasting into the terminal.


  • I didn’t notice that part of your post. 🙏

    The point I guess I was getting at was that even having “come up” with Slackware and a whole os that’s just 69 half baked scripts in a trenchcoat I adopted a more universal mindset and specific skill set when using scripts over ten years ago and find it hard to justify expecting sanitary inputs nowadays when it is harder and harder with Unicode and is a serious security threat to treat variables as passable strings.

    I wasn’t trying to suggest that there isn’t a way to make a space in a filename cause an error, but that I can’t think of an example where allowing a space to affect things was a good or right way to do something.

    In the specific example of the op, no spaces is a scene rule from the days of ftp and irc/usenet. The idea behind having only a subset of the ascii character set was to allow those services to work with the files and commands around them. There’s no reason to treat my own scripts and programs as if they’ll never encounter the galaxy of other characters that are flying around now and to be honest, theres no reason not to work in sane handling of non ascii characters in filenames even for code I only expect to touch scene stuff.

    It used to be an unavoidable mistake when we dug up buried utilities. Now that there’s a number to call first it’s only the fault of the knucklehead with the shovel.

    Please don’t read this as some kind of an argument. I think we basically agree and I’m not trying to get one over on you.

    That’s funny and you’re maybe missing why I want to see the Nazis:

    I hate Nazis as much as you’re purporting to. If a place that seems by all I can tell extremely anti Nazi is actually Nazis I want to know!

    If you want to get the word out about the crypto Nazi grad users then do it! Shame them!

    Show me the grad users that are posting about how they support the tenets of national socialism or how they hate the working class!

    Okay so you’re talking about all of grad right?

    So I should be able to easily search for things like “national socialism” “working class” and some different permutations of the 25 points and have the proof, right?

    But looking for those things doesn’t bring up users talking about how they uphold the tenets or hate the working class. I found people talking about how those ideas are bad and arguing about weather hating some identity means you hate the working class, but no one seriously saying that they hate the working class or that they agree with national socialism.

    So that’s why I’m here, asking the same question over and over of someone who now just responds with images.

    Is there some equivalency being implied here to say that communists and Nazis are the same?

    I haven’t for one second tried to avoid evidence or deny it when presented.

    Mostly because it was not presented.

    But even if you were to say something like “well, there was this one thread with a title like blah blah and some grad users of banned for hate speech in it” that would be better than what you’re doing now, which is calling me names, accusing me of being a Nazi, making the accusation that I’m just not paying attention to what’s around me.

    In the time we’ve been commenting back and forth you could have registered a sock puppet on grad, posted some Nazi shit and pointed to it!

    So if you can even gesture in the direction of grad users who uphold the tenet of national socialism and say they hate the working class, why not do it? Why not prove your statements? Why deflect and try to change the subject and accuse and call names?

    Why can’t you just back up what you say in even the tiniest way?

    I guess this post is calling me a white supremacist?

    All through this thread I’m focused on learning what you have to share and in all your replies you obfuscate, try to change the subject, insult and accuse me of crazy stuff like this.

    If you have anything to back up your claim that grad has adherents to the tenets of national socialism or users that hate the working class, please post it.
