I don’t know if I like words being hijacked/appropriated by people with extreme views. The weird semantic shift for words like “feminist” (or “nazi” actually now that I think about it) points to a deficit in the education system in our countries.

Yes, in the sense that I believe men and women should have equal rights. I suspect people who say they aren’t feminists have a different definition of it.

See you back here in a week or so to discuss what happened in the last chapter/epitaph epilogue! One of the most debated elements of this book. It’s a stone cold classic imo.

Edit: wrong word lol

Yes it is typical. Some of his books don’t even have chapters.

Depends how much time you spend in the terminal but if you spend a lot of time there then it can just about replace a tiling VM with a maximised terminal screen. Has full functionality to add workspaces, sessions and split windows horizontally/vertically.

I partially get around the loss of my tiling WMs on my work PC (macbook) by leaning heavily into tmux. I know there are MacOS tiling managers like spectacles but I prefer using applications that are multiplatform so I have “transferable skills”.

I use XFCE when not on tiling WMs

I’m sure this is common knowledge but Lyon’s worker uprising in the 19th century is the origin of the word ‘sabotage’. The workers were protesting against semi-automated loom weaving machines that used punch cards like primitive computers. When the managers weren’t looking the workers would through their shoes (which were called “sabos”) into the mechanism to break it.

Just got back from a holiday in Lyon. Super interesting place! I got the impression that the quality of life was good for the locals. Met a bunch of friendly Lyonnaise at a music festival and they were extremely generous sharing their party supplies.

Edit: I believe Lyon workers movement were also originators of slogans like “workers of the world unite”

Thanks for explaining

NixOS sounds like ansible in OS form and that has never seemed appealing. Happy to hear why my impression is wrong though!

You need to check PorntonDB

I’m somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).

Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist

This is the monkey’s paw Year of the Linux desktop. I know we’re wankers but didn’t need reminding!

mpv is worth a shout out as well

To be honest even matrix has too many features for me as a discord alternative. I’ve got my IRC channels that I’m keen on and I hang out on those every day.

Realise I’m probably unusual for being happy with 90s tech though!

I don’t think I’ve ever lost more time than I’ve gained in knowledge from the mistakes, if that makes any sense.

Never lost any money with linux.

I wasn’t a huge fan of it but I reckon if you have kids you’ll get a lot out of it. Seemed targeted at parents specifically.

Usually sympathetic to the contrarian perspective but Skibidi Toilet is basically a youtube poop. I don’t see how it can be source material for anything.

Sounds awful

It will turn into a “war is hell” story, or go on a large tangent about whether NPC summons have (human) souls.
