I've been told this is only on the BSDs and the like. Are Linux terminals missing this feature and/or set up differently?

Once upon a time, it was customary to put sections like this early in manuals.

No, wait ... I meant to say: Once upon a time, it was customary to include manuals with software.

I've been using a unixlike system with either a terminal or terminal emulator every day for 24 years, and I only just now learned that pressing Ctrl-T in xterm sends the SIGINFO signal, allowing me to check the progress of a long-running dd command.

gentle reminder to linux tryhards that the term "ricing" has racist origins and you don't need to use it to say "changing the colours of my terminal"

Using Python for mathematics is actually part of a long tradition.

It began with Adder.

just realized that as soon as tech companies made the shift from siri style "personal assistants" to "AI" that you were supposed to trust for actual answers about things, they stopped gendering them all as feminine. grok, chatgpt, claude, they're all either neutral or masculine

In the 1960s/70s, as early software papers were talking about programmer "ability" (aided, I regret to say, by psychologists with terrible 1960s views of ability) there were already papers saying that measuring the time it takes to complete a task is neither a measure of ability nor productivity

computers peaked when you could put linux in a pda and browse the web with konqueror embedded

annoyed that the slopdevs coöpted the term "vibecoding" because what we mean by it is "getting utterly komblasted off of that loud and going hard into a REPL until we've written something" and they turned it into "spin the slot machine"

The enshittification of the Web with the toxic snake oil tonic posing as "AI" is so pervasive that I am automatically distrusting everything with its calling cards: circle logos and tacky false-rainbow gradients.
