@btaroli @stephenczetty @cinja @cadenza @actuallyautistic exactly. I'd always felt very guilty and shameful bc I'd learned a simplistic (catholic) view of "lying". there are so many values and needs that sit higher on the priority list than thinking about how closely our language-based communication "matches" the truth as it's accepted by an oppressive system and the moral majority

dammit

then there's lying about how stole the cookies, which is never acceptable

I'm now doing UNIX administration (not full time) for more than 25 years. And yet only today I learned about a cli tool called "comm". 🤯

Ever needed to know which lines in a text file are not in another file , or which are in both?

comm A B compares two sorted text files and outputs three columns: one with lines only in A, one with lines only in B and one only with lines in both files.

And you can switch off each column with cli arguments.

I want the years back I fought with shell scripts!

It might be called the “safety dance” but somehow I put two people in the hospital while attempting it.

@kevinrns Musk is one of the cogs in a global RW fascist insurgency. This is a global emergency

A barred jungle owlet gets a very different perspective on the world! 🦉

@BigAngBlack threw out a prompt for great fathers. I don't know if my father was "great," not sure what that would mean but he was a good father. He did his best during a time when all Black men were catching hell daily but particularly Black men who had his darker complexion. He got up every day, went to work and helped my mom build a strong family.

Weirdly, a NASA official says fixed-price contracts do the agency “no good”

"What really makes me worried is that I think it shows where the heart of the agency is."
