You know the directory tree in an ide? Surprisingly frequently I find myself wanting that style of hierarchical expandability, but in a standalone tui, and for hierarchical text data. Like, I've got `find` output, or a long md5 dump, or `tar t` output, and I want to page it in my terminal, but the `foo/src` directory is big, so I just want to collapse the whole thing.

Is there a terminal program for that? Cuz I keep thinking of writing one, and I'd rather not have to.

@roadriverrail @khthoniaa They're good for cuddling up with a fire and warm beverage of preference.

I just saw a stranger on The Internet say "Java is to JavaScript as car is to cartoon."

Anyway I'm pretty sure I'm going to marry them now.

I just saw a mastodon screenshot that a non-fedi friend got from some other social media and shared to discord.

Guys, I think we've made it! We're one of the five social media sites that everyone screenshots and passes around to the other sites now.

I was today years old when I learned that "habanero" (like the pepper) literally just means "from Havana."

@roadriverrail "Hey if you switch over to this more expensive plan without that international calling, we might give you freevNetflix for a month!"

@roadriverrail Mine includes international calling *to* Europe, but not *from*. I just called today to ask about from and it was *rather* more expensive than just getting a separare SIM there.

@roadriverrail Of course, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, I learned that using a US cell provider for international roaming for more than a day or two is a _terrible_ idea: Just buying a local SIM is almost always cheaper, and as far as I can tell (as I'm still in the US) pretty darn easy.

@roadriverrail That was basically their starting position. I'm pretty sure they just didn't have that document in front of them, because when I pressed for that, they were able to find it.

me: Hey t-mobile, I will be traveling internationally soon. Am I set up to make calls from those places?
t-mobile: Yes, your account has international roaming. Prepay extra money and you can make calls from where you're going.
me: Extra money? What's the charge?
t-mobile: I don't have any information on the costs, just that it's enabled.
me: So I can make the calls but you can't tell me how much it'll cost me?
t-mobile: Right.
me: Okay, but maybe you could look that up...

Me: brew install just this one little package please
Homebrew: Hey Imma let you finish, but first let's upgrade several dozen critical packages from all over your system that are completely unrelated to what you asked for and that'll probably hose a bunch of custom scripts that somebody else layered on top of brew and that you depend on. Cool? Oh wait, nm actually no y/n prompt of course you want it lets goooooo

@roadriverrail Thank you so much for taking care of that!!

@roadriverrail I mean, that's cool. We just want to dance here.

@roadriverrail That's what got me there!! :-D

In news related to me last boost, TIL the #Primus album Sailing the Seas of Cheese was released just 11 days after Madison Wisconsin's Great Butter Flood/Fire. Also TIL that Great Butter Flood is a phrase that has escaped the lips of people who were entirely sober and not giggling even a little.

"Once the walls caved in, [the butter] came out like a river."

I am not currently aware of any evidence that Les or anyone else affiliated with the band was aware of the event.

@roadriverrail Yeeah, that got old fast.

people kissin'; hate message recontextualized to funny

@roadriverrail Super sympathize. I started laser hair removal early enough in my eventual transition that at the time I wasn't really sure where I would end up and was identifying as nonbinary. It's definitely a strange experience emotionally.

Lemme know if you need a rec for a good electrologist in the area. Mine's not cheap, but they're very experienced with binary and nonbinary trans clients (also cis women). Also they work with some insurance providers.
