alias cls=clear

My first language was QB, so it makes me chuckle.

Also, alias cim=vim. If I had a penny…

Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSV if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today

<3 u a real one

Do me a favor, when you’ve got a minute, go by a Wawa and grab an Italian hoagie and enjoy it for me? I miss them every day, man. Gas pump ads, shitty gas station hoagies, it’s rough movin across the Sheetz/Wawa line

Y’ever think about how if Jesus died by a guillotine there’d be guillotines everywhere

Ayy, recently rewatched that too. Personal headcannon: a better ending would have been a montage of Eva teaching an amnesiac Wall-E all the things he taught her and have him fall in love with those things and her again in the process. Probably more drawn out than “random electric spark magically resets memory” though

Lmao, I love the idea of adjusting the chart for obesity by subtracting men’s breast sizes from women’s

Yep. It’s a play on two meanings of “cut off”:

“If you cut off my reproductive choice” == “prevent my choice to get an abortion.” “can I cut off yours” == “can I physically cut off your dick.”

Because your information is what a number of services use to make money. Even before VPNs come into the equation, you’re undercutting the service’s ability to sell you by anonymizing yourself.

That said, as noted elsewhere here, VPNs can be used by bad actors which can get you just put on a massive block list; and in addition, VPNs can be used to circumvent regional protections such as provisions on what countries can watch what content on video streaming services, which those services also want to prevent and so can block known VPN addresses to avoid.

Every Time We Touch in my ass

Also kills the opening line of snowcrash,

“the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel”

Not to mention the small joys of tuning to the “encrypted” 18+ channels in the hopes of seeing a nip in the fog

It’s meant to inspire a brief moment of dread and surprise for those of us who are not quick at math.

Damn I’m stealing that

I leave a bowl out, and this year I had a trash can out in case anyone needed it. At the end of the night, the only thing in it was an empty hard cider bottle. Had a laugh

Beneath the Mask in my ass

I absolutely loved my apartment, but I pulled myself out of it because it was just far too much money and I knew that nearly all of that money was going into a hole.

Lived with a buddy for 2 years to save up a down payment, and got a house that’s nice - but honestly the renovation bit that I couldn’t do with an apartment that I really like is that I put solar panels on it. I wouldn’t have that option if I was still in my apartment.

And of course I pay people to mow the lawn, so some money still goes in a hole for sure, as it is with paying mortgage interest. But I have way more control now over how much, and whenever I plan to move I can trade a lot of that money going into the mortgage for wherever I go next, or pass it on.

My eve online circa 2008-10 was on Linux, as well as other not-entirely well remembered attempts dating back to around 2005, when I was more interested in spinny cube desktop. Fglrx and I were well acquainted, but not quite friends.

I’d roll with calling it a cacographic puzzle, maybe?

It’s convenient. Can’t hurt to get used to it, for sure, in that it’s useful to not have to go through dependency hell installing things sometimes. It’s based on kernel features I don’t see Linus pulling out, so I think you’ll only see it more.

As someone who runs nix-only at home, I mostly use its underlying tech in the form of snaps/flatpaks, though. I use docker itself at work constantly, but at home, snaps/flatpaks tend to do the “minimize thinking about dependencies and building” bit but in a workflow more convenient for desktop applications.

what do millennials use as sleep aids

I got hit by a “are you still there?” after 15 minutes of Futurama last night and they were almost right. They’re on to us
