Thank you for this gift.

This is life the reverse of the usual pipeline

When you answer “no” to “Did you get all that?” for the fifth time.

Yeah just having a larf, in the style of the op.

And then your prompt is all messed up, and your output is missing \rs for some reason, so output prints like:

$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x  2 lentil lentil Desktop/
                                   drwxrwxr-x  4 lentil lentil doom/
                                                                   drwxr-xr-x 17 lentil lentil Downloads/%

Feather gauntlet. Some beeswax terminals emulate it if you run kill -SIGFET $(pidof <your-gaunt-applet-here>).

Don’t get me wrong - I am super sentimental, and can really get lost going down memory lane. I spend probably most of my mental life living in the past. But yeah, I guess the stuff I do preserve (99% text) just doesn’t take up much room at all.

Oui

I usually head the file, which at worst triggers the feather gauntlet

Genuine question, do people actually care about backing up media that much? I don’t get it. Everything I actually care about personally I can fit on a thumbdrive and a box of notebooks.

Every day

Put the kettle on. I can work with this. First, let’s define what we each mean by “working class” …

I could do this with my eyes closed

I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of the voting public. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

Heh, nice

I guess I should read the article

k-hole’d

For any confused readers.

I would rather bother them very loudly.

Have there been consequences for the United States’ or Canada’s genocides against Indigenous peoples? Not really.

People can just get away with things unless you make them pay for it.

EDIT case in point, 200 years from now we could be celebrating the jewel of democracy Israel, while “acknowledging its troubled past” but you’re still doing this over the bones of the people your predecessors slaughtered. I’m not even saying it wouldn’t be genuine, like people today in the US and Canada bemoan the actions of previous colonizers. But the fact of what happened remains immutable. The slaughter happened, and the people who committed it accomplished their aims. They got away with it.

Even most of the conservative politicians in the US seemed to take this approach, until he started winning (read also: liberal politicians failed to counter his right-wing populism).
