  • I’ve started noticing websites just to refuse to work on Linux:

    • Xfinity
    • Microsoft
    • United Airlines
    • American Airlines

    It’s not like some weird script error either. It’s straight up a 403 Forbidden on certain routes. Works perfectly fine if I switch to my Windows laptop. It’s like it took one look at my user agent string and decided I was a bot.


  • Prions and population collapse aside, your cannibal population would eventually succumb to simple nutrient deficiency as the human body can’t synthesize a number of essential vitamins and amino and fatty acids. Without any outside food sources, those nutrients would eventually be completely exhausted.

    So if you’re going to start eating people, only eat people who have been a fed a diverse, nutrient-rich diet.

    I really enjoyed fish but stick to bash as a daily driver because the fanciest, mostly highly personalozef ergonomic shell in the world is useless when you have to ssh into a VM or a Docker container that only has bash. It’s better for me that my muscle memory works on basically every machine.



  • That’s why we switched, on both closed- and open-source projects. There’s just no winning an argument that puts you on the same side as racists.

    At one point I was considering how, if someone asked on one of our public repos, I’d say “no” but at the same time post a receipt for a donation to the NAACP just to prove I wasn’t racist. Thankfully I realized how stupid an idea that was before it came to that.

    Performative wokeness is a cancer, man. Did any of this arguing and vitriol actually help any marginalized group in STEM? I really fucking doubt it.
