none. you dont need a DE, you can just run a tiling wm and some terminals…

yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they’re weird now. it must be liberating.

oh yes it made the noise.

are you using ntfs-3g or the older shittier ntfs driver?

accepting your baldness will always look better than being all about it.

though that doesnt seem to be the issue here.

dont watch the sequel (i havent either).

but yeah, it’s a james bond type story set in a super weird garbled mirror image of the cold war. with mice and cats. and bats. and rats.

man i’m gonna re-watch it tonight. got myself hyped up :D

cat city

it’s been slowly getting worse since the 2010s. i remember talking about it back then.

i dont think they’ve lost touch, they’ve never been in touch. this behavior is apparently what produces the biggest profits for the next quarter, so they’ll do it until they drive the platform into the ground, then just start another one and repeat

“chose”. learning the language of the worst colonizer of your time’s always been economically advantageous

because capitalists have to lie about reality to preserve their ill gotten gains.

it took less than a day for someone to break run0 totally open, so basically, you have a choice between a well tested/debugged sudo and this new thing which may eventually mature

i have bad news: bash is already a massively improved/extended ksh clone. ksh was a massively improved/extended sh clone. sh got a ton of improvements early on.

this is about as good as you can get without breaking compatibility completely (bash already breaks compatibility with posix sh in some ways).

anyway, once you’ve figured out the hermetic incantations required to work with filenames with whitespace in them, it’ll be time to write scripts that can handle filenames with newlines in them :D

^S - stop terminal IO
^Q - resume terminal IO (if your terminal looks frozen, this is the one to try)
alt-b, alt-f - jump back/forward one word

it sanctions other CPUs and strong arms them into giving up their cycles

dd

youngsters and their tools… we just used to dd some /dev/zero onto the block device and ^C out of it after a second or two… :D

ages ago, i spent something like half a year thinking there was a word “appericate”. it was an odd one, since i only ever saw it in print, and from context it was clear that it meant the same thing as “appreciate”, which, oddly enough, i only ever heard in speech.

and then one day i stopped at an “appericate” in a book and re-read it 9 times, very slowly.

i went to the movie theater and watched it all the way through. it was harrowing. i havent forgiven the hobbit movie, PJ and the movie industry in general for that one.
