Many, many, many of us are suffering from information overload and notification fatigue. We feel like our computers are working *us*, and not the other way around.

For some of us, the terminal represents a rejection of this notion. A return to *controlling the device*.

I give a command, it provides me output. Lather, rinse, repeat.

My phone does not feel the same- using modern GUIs, for me, confounds my attention. The terminal restores it.

That's worth the inconvenience to me, YMMV.

Het is vandaag STORM IN DE HAVEN van Rotterdam! We blokkeren de toegangswegen naar ExxonMobil. Dit is een van de grootste en meest vervuilende olie- en gasbedrijven ter wereld. #operatiestorm [1/4]

this is absolutely hilarious: supermicro has feature licenses tied to your BMC’s mac address. so people figured out that.. instead of making a keygen, you can just ask the IPMI to change BMC’s MAC, and use one shared license.

they fell for the oldest trick in the book.

@vlrny Hope the day brightens literally and figuratively for you. Life seems overwhelming too often these days, and I’m sitting with you virtually, holding on to hope and the promise of better days ahead.

Was explaining the whole self-hosted/small web movement to someone at work today, and they replied “Oh, so you’re like one of those preppers with a bunker, but digital.”

And I will not be taking any further questions at this time.

if you continually cut disabilities benefits while concurrently working on a euthanasia bill, you are functionally pushing those unable to work into taking their own lives. but now, "state sanctioned!".

and this isn't some unintended accident, this their actions speaking the truth of what they believe.

don't get me wrong, people should have the option to end their own lives with dignity. but it should not be fucking pushed by the state giving them fewer and fewer breadcrumbs to survive on until they take the hand of the guy leading them into the assisted euthanasia booth.

i am going to end this post here by not saying anything actionable, but use your imagination for what could be said here about government ministers pushing this through.

this is not a joke. behold the power of mastofuse: https://gist.github.com/halcy/b4f455ef05c4c36906107e9367b8dd63

Het STORMT in Rotterdam! Rebellen blokkeren vandaag de poort van de gascentrale van Uniper. Uniper is een groot en vervuilend energiebedrijf. Ze staan in de top 10 van bedrijven die de meeste fossiele subsidies ontvangen. Subsidie naar grote vervuilers, dat moet echt stoppen! #Operatiestorm (1/4)

the year is 2055. xorg is now maintained by the rust4linux project. wayland has added a 78th method for sending text to applications. google chrome is a kernel module. you can make opengl calls via ioctl. your MacBook 7080 has more legal rights than you do. 3 billion devices run java.

@joepie91 My conspiracy theory is that they've kept suing IA as a back pocket move for bad days. When business is bad and shareholders are screaming that they've getting a bad ROI, labels and such can just say it was IA's fault and we are suing them to rectify the situation.

I have no evidence, I don't get invited to shareholder meetings, but I am convinced.

Grappig weetje over #Amersfoort. Als je met de trein vanaf het centraal station wegrijdt naar het noorden, is er bij de Eem een gebouw waar elke maand een andere nadenkspreuk op het dak staat. Sinds er ooit “Welkom in Alkmaar” heeft gestaan ben ik elke keer weer nieuwsgierig wat er staat.
