The Best Floppy Ever @SuperFloppies@mastodon.technology

Periodic PSA:

Don't use `rm`

Use a tool like http://slackermedia.info/trashy/ to send files to your freedesktop.org Trash (or similar) and empty it later.

#rm #trash #linux #unix

There literally isn't a responsive file manager left... Windows, macOS, the menagerie of Linux options... they're all laggy and terrible. I hate computers.

We're nearing the deadline for a big project at work, so my team has set up a daily knowledge-share (everyone works in a room/dials in and can ask questions, to make asynchronous communication synchronous).

They initially called it the "War Room" and I objected because war is bad, actually, and now they're calling it the "Peace Room" and I really love my colleagues.

One of my new favorite utilities is sponge(1) and it'll also soak up pee(1) I'M NOT BEING RUDE: Miek wrote that last one!

ls | pee "wc -l" | sponge out

So you demand upload filters? I'll happily comply and will write one for my-own-little-startup.

But you know, to be able to filter out copyrighted material accurately, I now need access to the entire catalog of every single piece of copyrighted material in existence.

Can't wait! No floppies per snail-mail, please!

It's childish and stupid. I fully agree.

My focus is on research and writing code to make tomorrow a better day than today.

If blocking ads is theft, so is going to the bathroom during commercial breaks.

Important stuff, folks. Please let someone you trust know where your passwords are. Someone I know lost their life partner suddenly and is having to act on some time sensitive stuff in relation to his website and other things and he had a pretty elaborate network and worked in computer security and they don't know his passwords. This is going to make his family's lives difficult for a bit.

Seeing the Haka being performed around the globe is fascinating.

This is exactly the kind of response we should have these sorts of events.

An intimidating unifying ritual.

Show them unity and strength that they do not possess.

A magickal realization of "From many, one" is happening here. It needs to be nurtured.

Anne Harding and I made a hand-drawn, hand-cranked version of Truncation (http://shonk.tumblr.com/post/129970437451/), showing cross sections of a hypercube.

Check it out in person at the Curfman Gallery (https://lsc.colostate.edu/campus-activities/lsc-arts/).
