Windows isn't Unix and as someone who has spent a career coding for Unix and Unix-like systems, Windows just isn't useful to me. I'm perfectly happy with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or even OS X or whatever it's called this week. The code I write generally runs on any of those and things behave as expected.

I've never really used Windows, but I have had to deal with the problems caused by developers using Windows. EOL chars, not putting a trailing EOL char in a file (postconf no like that), a lack of understanding of various Unix things. It's kind of tedious to deal with, but that's more the devs than Windows.

This is amazing!

That's a pretty shitty outcome. And the LoucheBear character doesn't seem to contribute anything of value, just ignorant abuse.

All the more reason to buy your computers from companies that support Linux in the first place - like Slimbook and System 76.

It happened due to Microsoft disabling an Internation Criminal Court lawyer's Office 365 account. This has spooked EU officials that a rogue US administration could harm it and there's a stronger push now for digital sovereignty.

My solution to this is to make my vimwiki remote be the wiki repository for my primary vcsh homedir repository on my own gitlab. So I can edit it in there.

Long ago I tried a cygwin based openssh server in Windows. Permissions were a real issue.

And then

git ci -am "Addressed performance issue in flurbin module

The flubin module was designed as a successor to the flurbar module
which took in...
[...500 line essay on the history, problem and solution deleted...]

Hopefully this will fully fix the issue discussed."

for a one character change that adds an additional, and unrequired, semicolon.

Just because you can do something...

js console: document.querySelector('.pointers').hidden=true

ls /usr/share/man/man?/* will show you all the man pages on your system. I used to pick ones at random.

Originally there were a number of manuals. Manual 1 had user commands. Manual 2 had system calls. Etc. You can type man NUMBER intro to read about that manual. You can also use man -k or appropos but I've also just used grep. These days they're compressed so zgrep.

The mouse pointer background is kinda a dick move. Good article. but the background is annoying for tired old eyes - which I assume are a target demographic for that article.
