random sensory flashback to the Bioshock Infinite DLC where they wanted to communicate to the player "you are in Paris, France" so they put a little kid in the game dancing around in the street while holding a baguette over his head

The fact that “grep” stands for global regex print, which is 4000x times easier to understand than trying to understand grep in abstract just neatly summarises the entire Linux ecosystem in a nutshell to me 😂

CW: suicide If you haven’t watched the documentary Time: The Kalief Browder story I recommend it highly. Kalief spent like 2 years in solitary at Riker’s pretrial because he couldn’t make bail. He was accused of stealing a backpack. He later committed suicide.

Post details

A big part of the reason for the difference between some white folks and most Black folks views on bail reform, is that most white folk know that for them, there is almost no chance that they will ever be arrested and charged for a crime for which they are 100% innocent. twitter.com/ShimminyKricke…

Arguably Spotify doesn't really help with discovery if you aren't already known outside of the platform. This is arguably different from blogs vs. Twitter.

Gordon Haff (@ghaff)Sat, 05 Feb 2022 18:14 GMT

I'm somewhat amused at the Spotify/Rogan fracas being framed as an example of the death of the "open web" given that podcasts generally are pretty much the last bastion of RSS and there's zero requirement to sign a licensing deal with someone like Spotify.

It’s really wild to compare where we are now to what things were like when I entered the industry. Linux was the big open source project and a lot of us put people like Linus and RMS up on pedestals.

People are still sheepish about saying they see a therapist. It's slowly changing, but every time somebody says it in a way that sounds like they are embarrassed I get sad. Therapy is great and you should do it.

As someone who had been going to Reddit for years before engaging with Twitter, I (respectfully) never know what you guys are talking about. In my experience Twitter is a hell of a lot more toxic than anything I've ever seen on Reddit

eric lives in vermont (@ericinvermont)Fri, 04 Feb 2022 19:19 GMT

I know this isn't a new thought, but it's crazy how Reddit as a larger community is one of the worst places on the internet, but niche subreddits for nerd shit like mycology or ultralight backpacking are some of the most helpful and nicest places online.

Why is asking for help so hard? because people get punished for it. You can't fix that by telling them it's safe, you have to show them it's safe, repeatedly, every time.
