What kind of tea? I hope it’s a nice roasted oolong.

Huh. Interesting. Do you know any WWII scholars who will back you up on this?

My anus is bleeding!

I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.

I found learning Linux much more fun, because I didn’t have to fight with the computer on every damned thing.

my time on this earth is finite (for now)

Let me know when you get that immortality hack working!

Leetspeak is older than that.

Linux porn sceenshots. I wanted to have a cool cyberpunk desktop and be Hackerman.

I don’t recall any actual person saying they had an issue with it before corporations started changing it though

I have heard people complain about it.

I always thought it was a precautionary measure more than likely thought up by a committee looking for exactly this sort of thing…

What makes you think that they have a committee like that?

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

Drop-in replacements are dumb. Just learn to use a different command.

You can use Ctrl-R and Ctrl-Shift-R to search through your history instead of having to push up a bajillion times.

How is WebP “patent encumbered”? It’s an open format.

What makes somebody’s sexual orientation political?

The trick to avoiding recursive functions is to avoid recursive functions.

Reminder that “git” is not an acronym, so there’s no need to put it in all-caps unless you’re YELLING (which you might be).

in the pocket of big butt plug.

That isn’t a pocket

cat and ls have canonical short names to save disk space on the systems they were created for.

I thought it was to save on keystrokes due to slow transmission speeds.

Maybe it can, but with fish, it does what I want right out of the box, and I don’t have to spend time configuring it.

I’ve never run into a Java evangelist. Every opinion I’ve ever heard about Java is something like “Yeah, this sucks”. I always thought that people put up with it because it’s write-once, run-anywhere, but so is, y’know, Python.
