  • People don’t like to admit that we are ants. We are valuable and important. Each one of us is unique and deserves a full, good, life. But we are also ants. We are susceptible to group think, mob behavior, and we tend to follow the scent trail most of the time. It’s not a bad thing. It’s tied to our evolutionary desire to be a part of a community; to fit in and blend in.

    But it also means individuals are likely to do what keeps them alive. We are likely all bad in some way or another.

    But as long as you aren’t, actively, willfully, or gleefully harming people, you’re probably ok.




  • I see. Well without a command line, I wouldn’t call it a terminal. I think you just want tooling to be available on an Android? It would probably look like a button or series of buttons on an app. Maybe you could connect the dots between them to insinuate a pipe? E.g., you have a “mv” button and a “file” button. When you drag from mv -> file you could maybe kick off a process that moves the file. Maybe it would prompt you for other arguments like destination? I suppose this theoretical app could allow people to install additional tooling and make their own custom commands.

    But I just feel like a button UI for these kinds of things will always be awkward. If you don’t have a keyboard/terminal interface, it’s hard to implement anything that would even behave like terminals in terms of functionality.






  • I’ve had that problem. The craziest thing about this is the pain. Most of the time, the reason I discover my flashlight turned on is I feel a dull burning sensation on my thigh. I always think “huh, that’s annoying. Must be a random aberration on my skin like a zit or a bug bite”. But the burning grows hotter until eventually I either pull my phone out to feel the spot on my thigh or I go to the bathroom to check. I swear it’s happened to me a half dozen times or so by now.

    It’s not a big deal. The burning isn’t burning. Just uncomfortable having a bright LED on my skin for that long.
