It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

#bash #bashscript #echo #foss #linux #unix #BlackHistoryMonth #gnu

"It's the right night evening for a tune" Snufkin thought. "A new tune, one part expectation, two parts spring sadness, and for the rest, just the great delight of walking alone and liking it."

Walking down by the West Wind
I met a boy
He was my friend
I said, “Boy, we could sing it, too”

… and we do.

Some people don't realize how well old computers can work for everyday tasks if you just switch out the spinning hard drive for an SSD.

The difference is incredible. You may not need a new computer.

yeah man it'd be so fucked up if journalism in the United States was just a mouth piece for the government and/or whichever rich dude owned the channel or paper. good thing that happened for the first time in history on January 21st, 2025 lmao
