NPOV

as Stallman found it impractical to establish his own sovereign nation-state and obtain recognition from the United Nations and other world governments, he decided to continue living in Massachusetts

« As Stallman deemed it impractical in the short term to eliminate current copyright law and the wrongs he perceived it to perpetuate, he decided to work within the framework of existing law » “impractical”, sure

somebody at apple please inform them that `COMMAND_MODE=legacy diff` is in fact the UNIX‐compliant diff and always has been

apple this is exactly backwards

it’s not that i don’t want copyleft free software with a dedicated community of maintainers it’s just that this community of maintainers is shit and if you haven’t split off from them by now i have reservations about your code being good

i actually ideologically support copyleft in principle! why are you making my opinions look the same to outsiders as apple corp!

at that era where i find myself preferring BSD versions of programs just because they weren’t developed by FSF

i am constantly walking around like “fufufu” and my girlfriend is like “why are you laughing?” and i am like “baka!!”

what a time to be alive when studios have figured out that sexy n·p·c’s can be used to build a challenge/reward feedback loop too

yes… it is true… gamers are not just motivated by the visceral feeling of pulverizing thousands of enemies… gamers can also be motivated by sex

“just give the computer enough data and it will come up with its own ideas of what to say”

i think it is very funny that some of the biggest companies in the world decided to sink massive amounts of money into the problem of making computers better at talking to humans, and they all collectively decided that solving that problem did not include, as acceptance criteria, “be able to tell the computer what to say”

honestly feeling the new zayn more than the new billie rn

anyway an L·L·M would never give you this code and if it did you wouldn’t trust it

(funnily, Macintosh is conformant in legacy mode)

apparently the answer if you want to limit yourself to v6 in theory is to do the same thing but tarball the temporary file with pax and then read out the modified time in list mode with -o 'listopt=%(mtime=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)T'

if you want to limit yourself to v6 in practice (nobody actually implements listopt), same thing but manually parse the tarball

if you were wondering, apparently the answer is

if test ! -f build/.mtime; then printf '%b' '\n' > build/.mtime; fi; touch -r "$FILE" build/.mtime; TZ=UTC0 diff -u build/.mtime /dev/null | sed '1!d;s/.*\t\([^ ]\) \([^ ]\).*/\1T\2Z/'

(replacing \t with a tab character)

BUT this requires version 7 of POSIX

BUT it should still work in e·g Macintosh even tho they’re not strictly conformant
