I know I was... well up until my 2008 MacPro died last month and I switched to Linux (ain't nobody I know gonna afford that new MacPro on their own). Now I use Fish Shell on Linux and it's fine for what I usually do.

I suffer from Tinnitus Distress and Ménière's. From my limited experience with Psilocybin mushrooms, I believe that occasional low dosages might provide me with weeks or even months of symptom suppression and relief. Any steps towards

I've been using Org Mode ever since I saw that Literate DevOps presentation... and I'm not even in DevOps at all. It's just that using emacs and Org Mode creates the most usable documentation for recording what I've fig

For some reason I was under the impression that Expert Systems were in some way a sort of evolutionary dead end and weren't used any more. Is this not the case?

Something that I've been thinking about, perhaps because I'm a long time Reddit user, is how often when it comes to redesigns the motivations of those people funding and making the decisions do not actually have the interests of t

I think calling what's going on a "user uprising" is a wild exaggeration. This is some users who are predisposed to whinge about this sort of topic seizing the chance to do so and a bunch of other users jumping on the bandwa
