@kzimmermann adb into it, adb push an rsync binary, and use it to push stuff onto a computer?rsync wrapper from the play store is also nice if you want to do it regularly (and gives you a precompiled rsync binary, too)not the simplest, but to me it was more reliable than plain adb pull (if it's tons of data)

@icedquinn isn't part of the point that adminning "$N for everyone" is still a lot easier than what we currently have?

@icedquinn ... but then you could just not give extra money for additional kids until they end up being 18 or so? so that "num of kids" is not a short term optimization target(which is actually better than the current system, where it is)as for Sybil attacks: ... isn't this a problem with any handout? IDing everyone is not a super hard tech problem if it isn't turned into politics

part of why most webapps are devoid of a lot of Actual Features is that it's really hard to combine them with each otherso they keep reinventing the wheel every time, in subpar waysvs. with UNIX you have actual neat interfaces you can work withsee also https://simonsafar.com/2021/unix_philosophy/(... seriously, even on Windows you have a file browser and a window manager...)

@icedquinn it's so basic.it's kinda nice though. (... although... the "this is the demo album for our present pack" feeling gets stronger the more I listen to it)also, they're missing the obligatory Pink Glowy Grid! what kind of synthwave is this? :blobcatthink:

the Web is such a suboptimal, overly complicated, overrated application platform, that it sometimes easy to forget thatit's a fairly neat document format, actually.you can create cool-looking pages in HTML, just by adding a bit of CSS.(grid & flexbox are way easier than early 2000s tables, too!)

systemd, restart after an update: "hey, there is systemd-resolved now! let's make it sit on port 53"[looks around][it's a DNS server]"... yeah, this is a great idea!!!"also systemd: "huh. weird. this 'pdns' service isn't working. Let me try restarting it. Still no. Ok so how about... now?"[proceeds with 16000 restart attempts]

Lisp Machines happened 40 years agoyou could even write C (!) on them, without recompiling / restarting thingsthis lends a lot of credibility to Jon Blow's "we sometimes forget how to do things and thus they get worse" theory

"Preventing the Collapse of Civilization", by Jon Blow, on how software is stupidly overcomplicated. It might be this where "for a day, write a note on every bug you encounter" is coming from.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRHeXYDLko
