Dude, bash is a whole language.

I’ve been using shells for over twenty years and I still pick up new tricks.

But come on, everyone has to do mail merge on a daily basis! /s

I took a single-semester Linux course and had the terminal down pat.

And this is where I stop reading.

EDIT: Seriously guys, this statement reminds me of when the little girl in the original Jurassic Park is like “this is unix, I know this” and then starts flying around the park virtually using “Unix” 3D style.

Last year, I was trying (and failing) to explain the basics of a file system to a designer that was designing a web app version of a fucking file system.

Saw him live delivering his “fuck Tiger Woods” and “fuck Lance Armstrong” set a long time ago. It should be noted how prescient this was because neither of those celebrities had their fall from grace yet. He was ranting against the very idea of celebrity worship and being told who to admire.

Some people in the audience left after that and he responded by saying it was going to get a lot fucking worse so it’s good that you’re leaving.

Dude was a fucking legend, and I’m still happy that I saw him before he died. He ruled that room, and I’ve been to other comedy shows, but none in my experience captivated the crowd and spoke as much truth as he did.

It’s a big fucking club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the club.

I’m really enjoying the headlines some journalists are finally starting to write. I don’t think we’ve fully moved on from access based, deferential journalism, but there are at least a lot of news sources finally starting to publish things with headlines and content that aren’t from the PR department of the covered news item.

MCP servers are fucking bizarre too. I expected them to be like a normal API server, not realizing how little LLM developers wanted to do anything but make more chatbot. The default implementation is to read from stdin and write to stdout and have it launch a process. There’s “streaming http” as well. It’s all so that it can have a fucking “chat” with the server involved. 🤢

Do not hand these things unsupervised system access, they will do bizarre bullshit and ruin your system.

Papyrus? Are you kidding me? There’s no place for that in a professional office setting!

Some more news is still as it ever was

“its characters” bitch half of your characters are just ripped off from fairy tales

Oh, I didn’t mean it ironically at all.

Sorry about your sisters dog, that’s heartbreaking.

Not my sister’s dog, my dog’s sister / littermate but yeah still not great.

Yes, just like most things you vaccinate against it’s possible to have a breakthrough infection, but the immune system is still more equipped to fight it after vaccination.

This guy just didn’t vaccinate her at all. Vaccination can be the difference between having a breakthrough infection and getting better in a couple of weeks and dying from or being permanently disabled by a disease.

You simply don’t like that the popular meaning has changed. I don’t really either but it doesn’t matter.

I’m not a cloud. So go find one of those to yell at instead.

Great thread for adding to your blocklist.

My dog’s sister died at age two or three because the owner didn’t vaccinate her. I think she died of kennel cough.

is it bad i’m just kinda glad they finally went completely masks-off?

I understand this take, but honestly, there are things missing from it.

I think, like Vonnegut wrote, that we are what we pretend to be, and when we let them as a society get away with not even pretending to be good people…we worsen society overall.

There is another element to this as well, IMO, which is that people are mostly animals: monkey see, monkey do. When people see these psychopaths in high-powered positions getting away with whatever they want, they are more likely to model that behavior as well.

I’d rather have a society where everyone is pretending to be nice over one where people feel free to be the absolute worst version of themselves. I also think that being who you are pretending to be has a good side. People can “pretend” to be good and become better because of it.

People think that the more these people are obviously evil, the less the public will agree with them and the more precarious they’ll make the entire escapade. I think that the 2024 election and all of the events of 2025 have proven that notion is a dangerous fiction.

Good for you! 👍 Would you like a cookie? Here ya go: 🍪

It’s not what I personally think, dude. I don’t even like that the definition has shifted, but it has thanks largely to those with a chatbot fetish.

Again, look at the community you’re in. Do you think we’re here because of Google translate?
