@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! 🦉

Owls have eyes that cannot turn and only face forward, so to compensate, their necks are constructed to swivel nearly 270 degrees in order to allow them to assess their environment.

Obama accuses Tim Scott and Nikki Haley of being part of a 'long history' of POC Republicans who downplay racism https://www.rawstory.com/obama-accuses-tim-scott-and-nikki-haley-of-being-part-of-a-long-history-of-poc-republicans-who-downplay-racism/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@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."

In the dead of night, WI Republican lawmakers just defunded the Child Care Counts program. Sen Kelda Roys said the decision will make even more of Wisconsin into a childcare desert. The program has funded more than 22K child care jobs & helped 113K children since 2020. It'll be devastating for needy families & the state’s economy: #GOPHatesChildren #GOPSabotage https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-child-care-subsidy-budget-9218b9a132e89749546a27d3120c2c8d

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.

2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.

3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.

N.B. If while searching for the glade you come to a boiling river of blood, you have gone too far.
