This type of sexism is doubly stupid. At least in my experience, women in male-dominated fields tend to be exceptionally good at what they do because the ones that aren’t passionate about the work don’t find it to be worth staying because of the sexism. If I were going to be biased, I’d be biased in favor of having a woman work on my car!

We are all whooshed on this blessed day.

This shit should be illegal. When they sell you the car, they sell you the whole car and you have the right to use your poroperty how you wish, including unlocking the full potential of the hardware regardless of DRM. Anybody who thinks otherwise is evil.

I’m a huge NotJustBikes fan, but I hate how this, of all his videos, is the one that gets the traction in forums.

I mean, sure, big trucks suck – but it’s not as if small ones don’t! The fundamental cause of all these deaths (and a bunch of other big problems, to boot) is cities being designed for automobiles to the exclusion of everything else, and quibbling about the size of them is nothing but a distraction.

And why the right wingers care so much if fucking beyond me.

It’s modern blood libel. They don’t care about drag; they care about libeling their political enemies as pedophiles.

What we need is for PeerTube to use ActivityPub for the searching and listing, but something like Bittorrent to distribute the load of the content delivery.

Samsung has been a malicious bad actor for a while now. It’s not just phones; they also pulled shit like retroactively adding ads to people’s smart TVs etc.

(Also, even their “dumb” products, like appliances, are designed to fail just outside warranty. If you don’t believe me, take a look at my washer’s spider arm, which failed catastrophically due to corrosion even though nothing else in the machine had so much of a speck of corrosion on it. Samsung is clearly capable of specifying corrosion-resistant materials and chose not to on purpose in order to create a failure point.)

Everyone should completely boycott Samsung.

It’s also centralized corporate-controlled trash, just like Reddit. I, for one, don’t see the point in swapping one abusive overlord for another abusive overlord.

Emacs and bash use the same navigation shortcuts though, LOL.

Terminals with screens? What’s all that newfangled shit?

Nah, whippersnapper, this tech goes all the way back to teletypes. You didn’t get a fancy-shmancy “screen;” instead, it printed out the results of your commands. On actual paper!

Seriously though, that’s why the device files for terminals in Linux are named tty[$NUM] – “tty” is shorthand for “TeleTYpe.”

I believe it’s also why really primitive programs can’t scroll up and do things like writing an entire screen worth of content in order to emulate interactivity (as opposed to seeking the cursor backwards and replacing only the parts the program wants to replace): they’re using a version of the control protocol so primitive that it didn’t have a function to go backwards because teletypes didn’t need it due to physical impossibility. (That’s my theory, anyway – I haven’t dug deep enough into the guts of TERMCAP etc. to be sure. I’m also not actually old enough to have experienced that stuff, despite my joke above.)

Edit: look at this excerpt from man terminfo(5), for instance:

Basic Capabilities
The number of columns on each line for the terminal is given by
the cols numeric capability.  If the terminal is a CRT, then the
number of lines on the screen is given by the lines capability.
If the terminal wraps around to the beginning of the next line
when it reaches the right margin, then it should have the am
capability.  If the terminal can clear its screen, leaving the
cursor in the home position, then this is given by the clear
string capability.  If the terminal overstrikes (rather than
clearing a position when a character is struck over) then it
should have the os capability.  If the terminal is a printing
terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both hc and os.

To this day, the info database entry for your virtual terminal has to specify that it’s capable of deleting a line of text instead of merely striking it out, because some terminals back in the day actually couldn’t!
