VI is life

If you don’t have one to begin with, sure, I guess. For everyone else, there’s Nano.

I can relate. I can emphasize with someone who’s learned every nuance of a language, and after 30-40 years suddenly these kids come in with their strange hieroglyphics slowly replacing everything you’ve worked on.

it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

I’m an electronic security installer. You know how many times I’ve done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.

Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old…

Good luck wherever life takes you now.

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about…

We got a phony over 'ere.

😭 You’re right even my avatar is AI generated 'cause my broke ass can’t afford commissions and I can’t draw anything worth a shit.

No. Where’s the guy wearing furry ears, tail, and programming socks?

I’m not sure I’d like that. I kind of like there being a technological filter. It prevents the Fediverse from turning into Facebook or X. The public Internet has been around and part of society for 40 years now. If you still don’t get it in 2025, that ain’t everyone else’s fault. People using the Internet in the 90s had to deal with way more than just figuring out what an “instance” is.

Yeah this may have fooled people before Trump and the Charlottesville NC rally and the rest of the world embracing hate, but they ain’t fooling anyone anymore. Stuff it. We know and you know what TF “far right” means. Stop the concern-trolling bullshit.

Haven’t you heard? The masks are off. You don’t need to justify it anymore or hide it. Just come out and say what you really believe.

That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client’s request string.

This stuff isn’t magic. It’s tech. These things can be proved by analyzing network traffic.

The janky cobbled-together UIs straight out of 1994 are part of the charm!

“Why TF is this one-page document half a gigabyte?”

Is this just some sort of alias to “runas”?
