a metaphor is…

• when something in a story is made to stand in for something in real life?

• a figure of speech which equates a thing with something else which has similar qualities?

@coriander it's like punching only your fist is large and filled with compressed air

@aescling taking your phone in the shower will not give your pokémon walkies

@coriander these posts are extremely “trying to start a cult without actually starting a cult” vibes

@coriander you're being a curmudgeon but it's valid ✨

@aescling anyway i meant desktop distros not embedded/server

@aescling not sure i would describe alpine as “pretty ok”

how is the whole “replace GNU components of Linux with something else” project going

my toxic trait is i refuse to use extended regular expressions in grep and sed

@noracodes i now know (since writing this blogpost) that this use of `stat` is not portable (i have BSD stat not GNU); it’s not hard to find the GNU instructions on the internet tho [ask me if you need something portable across systems]

not serious, industry nonse 

@akjcv@types.pl you could probably commute from maryland pretty easily
