Thank god

That’s kind of my point though. For being made specifically for the purpose of being machine readable, its kind of a pain in the ass to work with.

I want a command line utility where I can just

xmlquery --query 'some/query' --file foo.xml --output foo-out.xml

or in python

import xml

with open("foo.xml", "r") as file:
    data = xml.load(file.read())

That’s the amount of effort I want to put into parsing a data storage format.

What is this, a crossover episode?

Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn’t really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don’t list each tag twice.

My employer has their own power plant and gardens and I got to go on a “field trip” to both of those places and yeah, it was pretty dope. They sent out an invite asking the department if we wanted to go check out these places, so I signed up figuring it would be a good networking opportunity. It was, I connected with a bunch of people. Plus i got to see the inside of a power plant, how cool is that? More employers should do this.

I was talking to my cousin (journalist) a while ago and she told me how she was supposed to interview a whistleblower for Anaheim PD. I snarkily commented something like, “yeah but let me guess he shot himself twice in the back of the head” and she alarmingly said “…yeah, how did you know?”

Someone like Gallowboob. They just post an endless stream of low quality drivel and eventually turn into ad machines and push specific narratives and propaganda. We’re much better off without them.

We’re honestly better off without them. Power users and power mods kinda ruined Reddit.

Haha yes the ID and pistol that definitely existed and definitely weren’t planted.

Necessary and necessarily for me. Can’t spell 'em to save my life.

Almost all of those are for the database release, not the production release.

Even if they are for the current production release was last April. Considering the buggy mess their product is, that’s kind of unacceptable for an app that is supposed to hold your entire lifes data.

The selling point is that it is immutable, not that it uses snaps (which it does). Fedora does the same thing with Silverblue and IoT. You don’t install rpms, you install flatpaks. You can install rpms, but you’re not really meant to.

Since Canonical refuses to get onboard with flatpak (for now) they use snaps instead of debs, but snaps aren’t the direct appeal.

The whole idea is that you have a core system in a known configuration. Updating the system just means using a different image. If an update fails, then you just roll back to the last good configuration. Bazzite uses this to nice effect too.

There are a lot of advantages to end users and enterprise admins with systems in this configuration.

The Adjuster

The universe was formed by the collapse of a massive star. Our massive stars make new universes. The cycle continues forever.

So what? Private corporations are just as cruel.

Corporations are the problem, not their trading status.
