Ever wonder why the "vi" editor uses H, J, K, and L keys for cursor navigation, and why Unix shells traditionally use "~" as an alias for the home directory?
The ADM-3A terminal was a very popular and inexpensive Unix terminal in the 1970s. Notice where the arrow keys are, and where the "~" key is? It influenced a lot!

@Phorm I'm pretty sure a few have crossed my timeline already, and they're just a regular link to a toot. You can drag the link and drop it into the search box. Press Enter, and the quoted toot will show up as the only search result.
re: uspol, fuck ICE
This after prosecutors, who famously can get any grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, utterly failed to get a grand jury to indict the guy who shared one ballistically.
The fash couldn't find 12 random joes to charge Sandwich Guy with a felony, and the fash couldn't find 7 random joes to convict him of a misdemeanor.
This chips away at fear and adds support to hope.
While Microsoft might begin autosaving your documents to their cloud. ed(1) will never autosave your documents, and will only ever store them where you explicitly specify.
Microsoft says that Word for Windows will soon enable autosave and automatically save all new documents to the cloud by default.
