it sure would be nice if everybody else formatted their fortune cookie quotes exactly the same way as this approach i invented a week ago

for the record i don’t have a strong opinion on the “Biden serves until he dies and then Harris takes over” VS “Harris takes over now” debate but if they’re going to do the first one they should stop making such blatantly politically toxic moves

biden campaign 

@coriander the thing is, the debate performance itself hasn’t actually damaged biden’s ratings much in the places that matter, but he seems determined to do everything in his power to specifically anger the people in the party who care about shit like this

biden campaign 

@coriander biden gave an interview on WURD Philadelphia to ease concerns about his performance in the debate; it has now come out that the campaign provided the questions that the host asked; the station subsequently asked the host to resign for violating their journalistic independence and jeopardizing listeners trust

biden campaign 

• debate fiasco
• “i’ve been staying up past my bedtime”
• no communication for days
• “i don’t believe that voters are actually worried” / “polls are fake news”
• “i’ll be happy if trump wins so long as i tried my best”
• radio interviews to show he can think on his feet; later comes out that they were scripted by the campaign

really is speedrunning “how many bad looks can we give in a week” huh

@gaditb (FreeBSD rm being the ancestor of macOS rm, relevant in my case)

@gaditb rm a b -i c doesn’t work on FreeBSD rm; allowing options after filenames is a GNU-ism

@gaditb lifehack: just start the name of any important file with a period so that rm * doesn’t glob it

@gaditb i feel like there is no guarantee that the -i file will appear first?? also who does `rm *` and not `rm -rf the_directory`

everybody loves file·names which begin with U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS

like obviously fair use uses are NOT inherently re·usable, so REUSE does not apply. however,

i realize that technically the way to signal “this file is under copyright, has no licence, and is distributed because the repository owner believes its inclusion is fair use” is to simply not be REUSE compliant, but it still feels bad

@aescling @wallhackio i played it a second time in master mode and enjoyed it a lot more than the first time tbh

@coriander this year even the brits are saying fuck the tories
