    I gave up on Ubuntu as soon as it started to trick you into installing snaps when you're using apt/apt-get (and therefore expecting real debs from repo).

    Whatever you do, if you find yourself having inhaled a 1cm airborne particle, don't follow it up with increasingly larger objects.

    A notable case involved an elderly woman who, after swallowing a fly, attempted to mitigate the situation by sequentially ingesting larger animals in a flawed internal predator-prey response—ultimately culminating in her death. The case underscores the risks of unsupervised biological escalation following airborne particle ingestion.

    Changed stuff so it's not zsh specific and works with bash. Will work on what dash fails on next.

    Still playing around writing some interpreter for an esolang using zsh.

    https://github.com/master5o1/dick-sh

    It's so stupid but quite fun way to learn stuff bout zsh and shell scripts.
    zsh because I use macOS.

    It's basically feature complete according to the esolang it's based on.
    Made a --strict mode validator to opt into adhering to restricted variable names condition.

    Next I'm gonna look at how LSP works and see if I can get vscode to understand this thing.

    About a week ago came across Dick, an esoteric language, and got sniped into making an interpreter for it in (zsh) shell script.
    Well, at that point it was just rubber-duck with ChatGPT to think about how to do that.

    Only today did I build out the interpreter script and a few sample programs.

    Perhaps the plates and cutlery are older again since their last major innovative change (eg, die stamped).
