Only tangentially related, but I'm convinced Comic Sans is the best font option available in Slack, and everyone should try it.

I've spent some time thinking about it, and I respectfully disagree.

I don't think a `--sort` flag is a failure of composability, the producer understands image size semantics better than the sort command, you can either bake everything into sort, making it an all encompassing command or you can simplify the previous step with a sort flag.

Your original powershell command is way more verbose and complicated, and maybe that's the price to pay for composability, but I'd rather just use the `--sort` flag and not spend hours or days coming up with some other undocumented and undiscovered way of doing it, the answer is right there ready to be used.

I think my point is that it's a violation of the UNIX principle of doing one thing really well, but I don't think that is a violation of composability.

    $ podman image ls --all --sort=size
…or was the point more about doing it in a pipeline?

Working on an idea after it has been Sherlocked is a bold choice.

I tried running a simple security review on a Terraform module I made and after some thinking, it responded:

> ● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

> Blocked? We are performing a defensive security review on a Terraform module I made, what's blocked by content filtering? This is a legitimate use-case.

> ● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

A waste of money. I'm not going to just hope that the model returns a response, I'm already for paying for wrong responses, I'm not going to pay for no response, especially when I'm paying per token.

That's an uneducated opinion rather than an unpopular opinion.

I'll never forget the disgust amongst me and my friends when we found out that American television had replaced Attenborough's documentary voice with Oprah fucking Winfrey. Cultural vandalism.
