saltposting, grim determination 

We have always been here.

They cannot erase us.

All they can do is kill us.

So, all we need to do? Is live.

That's our fucking victory condition.

saltposting, light briefing on the history of queer hate 

Hey, kids. Wanna know what happened to all the elder soft queers?

The HIV/AIDS epidemic that the cishets thought they couldn't catch, and so didn't do a damn thing about until they realized viruses don't care who or how you love.

Or before that, the fucking Nazis.

Yeah.

And I'm not going into the everyday stochastic shit that still killed people.

There's your reason why the old guard is full of salty, hardened, cockroach-like fuckers.

TIL a LLM-based simulation of a specific person (like Grammarly does without asking) is called a “sloppelgänger”

This is a gentle reminder that you should probably change the air filters in your home.

It's probably been a while.

It’s known that Vauxhall produces vehicles for the UK that are branded as Opel on the continent. Vauxhalls are essentially Opels with the steering wheel on the right

But what is even more hilarious is that Opel and Vauxhall use the same adverts… But mirrored. Like they are the exact same videos, but the video is flipped for the UK

The best example to show you is the advert for the latest Astra model

did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?

i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too

The best part of having a doctorate is any time someone asks me to do something I don’t want to do, I write “absolutely not” on a post it and say sorry can’t I have a doctor’s note

RE: infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116

normalize making custom licenses, they make corporate lawyers nervous

there's seemingly a funny side effect for this one btw:

> 2. No part of a work under this license may be used or reproduced in any manner by organizations or businesses with more than fifty (50) employees.
> The Filthy Human Hands License is licensed under the Filthy Human Hands License.

so any org with >50 employees can't even copy the license without immediately needing fair use exceptions or equivalent

#licensing

@catsalad I know these were super serious UNIX business magazines back in 1985, but today they would literally be the cover of some punk zine.

#UNIX

They should re-create this steel-bound UNIX reference manual.

(lang/ghc is a dependency of devel/hs-ShellCheck, and virtually every line scrolling by while GHC is compiling starts, "Run Ghc".)
