sorry about breaking into your house and taking your underwear, I'm just trying to train this AI on human lifestyle so it can be more relatable. It's not for perverted reasons or anything. It can't identify you based off the smell of your underwear that'd be crazy haha. Yeah it's perfectly legal and you can't really do anything to stop me

this blog post is largely about how writing about the terminal was a slow descent from

this can't be that complicated right?
into
oh no
oh NO
OH NO
OH NOOOO

anyway the point of "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is to explain the Cool Useful Parts of how the terminal works where understanding them is pretty straightforward and can help you do useful stuff and carefully avoid the many Cursed Parts

Happy 626 day everyone!

I'm so glad Disney resisted the temptation to revisit their single greatest cinematic masterpiece. They probably would have fucked it up.

It’s #WhiskersWednesday once again, so here’s Tennessee.

You know that thing about how men are radically more likely to divorce their wives when they fall ill than women are to divorce their sick husbands? Well, fortunately, it turns out that isn't true. The study has been retracted due to a huge error. retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21

It's so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you're actively dying and don't go below 79" while the Al nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1image of a girl with 5 tits.

Again I stand by what I said.

"I can't believe I even have to talk about these people. That's how ridiculous it s."

We have the equivalent of the scientologists running the field of AI with untold amounts of money and power and we're the ones who have to do point by point rebuttals of their eugenicists dreams.

Look people, no matter how much we destroy the Earth by polluting it with CO₂, microplastics, PFAS, etc. everywhere, and even if AMOC shuts down and both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melt, the Earth will still be infinitely more habitable than Mars. Mars is a shithole and we're not going.

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

I just learned today that our galaxy is apparently located inside a vast region of unusually low matter density called the KBC Supervoid (more prosaically, the Local Hole).

Which I guess means that wherever you scream, you are in fact screaming into the Void.

Also, KBC Supervoid would make a really good band name. Just saying.
