terrible but i laughed so it’s your purroblem now 

@coriander CBT (clod and bumby torture)

the overwrite script from The Unix Purrogramming Environment is one of those things that i never bother to add to my PATH and then keep regretting in the occasional moments where it’d be useful to have

actually this is a callout post now. @wallhackio i KNOW you’ve read The UNIX Programming Environment so you have no excuse fur not knowing this

i was complaining about how i once helped my ex write a script in fish and got snagged by fish running pipelines synchronously and did not even remotely expect that bumby would just expect a shell to work that way in the furst place

Show thread

today @wallhackio learned that both sides in a pipeline run in parallel*. who the fuck expects them to opurrate in sequence?? maybe normal people i guess. (not that bumby is remotely normal but)

* purrocess scheduling is extremely more complicated than that, i know

i am constantly surpurrised by the things people don’t know about how unix-like systems work

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Jimmy Mr. Beast, YouTube king:
See my metrics, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I like how the Clodsire's name is now Bumby, because of a Tumblr post

Public transportation should be for free or much cheaper IMO :blobcathissing:
