@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz This is going to sound stupid, but what does `file` say the wine in your dot-steam folder is, & what are its permissions?

Characters/creators/lewd/serious 

Let's talk about characters and relation to their creators for a second.

A lot of us love to be really flirty and lewd among our characters and it's a whole lot of fun. But access to a character like that does not necessitate access to the creator like that.

I abhor the rationale, when called out for a violation of this, "your character does that, you were asking for it." Fuuuuck that noise.

Respect boundaries. If you don't know them, ask.

Sleepy Little Fluff

The crazy thing about CSV files, commas are likely to be used in stuff you'd want to put in a CSV file.

"But Fluff," you say, "people already deal with that. Use colons or bar characters or tabs."

Well yes. People do that. But did you know ASCII (which now forms the first tiny chunk of unicode) has built in separator characters? ASCII 28 through 31; file, group, record, and unit separators. CSV was a mistake.

Thus ends another episode of Fluffpinions.

I need to find a way to put a fairy-wand star & bow on the end of my repair kit's socketed screwdriver handle.

I can now add a 21st Century WinCE-powered machine (that does make me wince) to the list of computers my fix-it computer fairy wand has magically restored.

If you asked me when I was a kid what repairing computers would entail, scrubbing cases with Lava knock-off in order to install replacement keyboards would never have come to mind.

I'm cleaning the other, amazingly-hacked ZX-81 I got on eBay.

My bank can give me instructions to upgrade my credit card machine in a phone call or via text message. They can't send instructions to me in email, & they don't have a Web page with instructions.

What century is it?

@soft_chomps@glitch.social Sounds like a good reason to me. On Sid, you'll get them first basically forever, but just be ready for a new version of a package to eventually break something & need fixing.

@soft_chomps@glitch.social Oh, unstable. That's gonna be an adventure with each update, but a pleasant experience so far is fantastic news.

I've heard so much about Arch, both good and bad. It strikes me as a dragon taming test.

@soft_chomps@glitch.social You're using Debian 9 stable now, right? It was already my favorite Linux distro for administration, but they've made so much usability progress in the last few versions, too.

Do you remember which distro it was that was so sour?

@softgoat The Internet Archive might actually fit the bill if you have or emulate one of those Macs: archive.org/search.php?query=k
