Happy "techbros and incels try to monetize comedy without understanding it" day to all who celebrate

RE: bsd.network/@ed1conf/116329887

Despite being conceived and released as an April Fools joke, "Ed Mastery" is arguably and seriously the best comprehensive guide to using ed(1) to its fullest potential. After reading the book, the standard text editor *will* become one of your go-to editors.

On this day 8 years ago, @mwl released "Ed Mastery" to much lamentation rejoicing.

@mavica_again Yeah, really! Bring back beige boxes!

The specs look pretty good. But the first spec Lenovo hit me with was one I mistook for engine displacement. (Do they mean rendering engine or analytical engine?)

Inspired by an offhand comment Alice (@foone) made earlier today: the CGA iceberg

nothing the fascists do can ever change the fact that the world is immeasurably better with trans people in it

if you're touching computers and would like to stay a minimally decent being it is imperative you kill the libertarian techbro inside

@mavica_again Amazingly enough, my current tech support patient is a horizontal HP desktop computer big enough to support a (lightweight flat) monitor.

I tried looking up info on it and failed, but I discovered that a surprising number of HP's business desktops are horizontal boxes begging to live under a monitor now. (Hardly any Dell and Lenovo desktops, though.)

Before another well-meaning, good doctor says “there just isn’t that much evidence tying Covid to this condition yet” it would be great if they checked the Covid lit library to see if 1,000+ research papers of such evidence exists

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walked in to a blood donation clinic.

The nurse asked the rabbit: “What is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O”, said the rabbit.

@nixCraft Calling it now. A coming bug report will be "I ran `journalctl -f -u baltimore` and systemd deleted my home directory again."
