@b0rk If there are 2 filenames with a common prefix followed by a character that needs escaped, tab completion won't escape it for you.
I've also had issues with distos installing "bash-completion" by default, which tries to be smart but sometimes gets in the way and removes filenames you want from consideration.
@voltagex Thankfully CodeWeavers is supporting me in this, it wouldn't be possible otherwise.
@voltagex There's nothing for Mono specifically, but Winehq accepts donations through SFC: https://www.winehq.org/donate
It was just pointed out to me: keeping Mono maintained is important for preservation. .NET Framework images can't always be recompiled. That's most obvious with Wine, but sometimes upstream Mono is used for that too.
This has been in the works since April: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/21796
I'm not explicitly mentioned in the post, but effectively the maintainer duties for the Mono project now fall on me. It sort of worked out that Wine Mono (which I maintain) became the primary user of Mono that hadn't moved to modern .NET, with the other common use case being winforms on Linux. I might be the only person left who cares enough and has the generalist knowledge to muddle through.
Thinking how cool it'd be to like, shed a bunch of possessions and have a seasonal living arrangement: winters here, summers visiting people throughout the country and working remote (ideally sharing with someone so housing isn't wasted). Probably never going to happen, but it'd be cool.
(I'm about to go visit someone and it's so much easier in summer.)

Today I learned that the Alien franchise is owned by Disney, which means that every xenomorph egg that hatches, being a daughter of the xenomorph queen, is technically a Disney princess

Article re: going no-contact with parents
Ok this is such a good post.
“No one needs a reason to justify estrangement, because estrangement is not about blame. Instead, it highlights the fact that adult relationships require mutuality.”

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Continuing with Ultimate NES Remix on foot controls. Made some controller modifications last time that I'm hoping will help.
Because ADHD brain, I just made this thing that lets me put a command in a new gvim terminal buffer. So I can do
$ window top
and it'll make a new gvim terminal buffer and run that in it.

(Also made this morning: a "pager" that does something similar but with stdin, so man pages can go in a new buffer by default.)
Decided to post the changes I make to my Steam Deck (mostly to get OBS capture working in game mode, which I might be the only one who has a working setup for, as for some reason flatpak OBS no longer works for this). https://gist.github.com/madewokherd/538d0621e1f25835acba99e073fddd8f

Get Firefox dotcom.
Download, install, & run.
Menu -> Add-ons and themes -> Extensions -> Find more add-ons: "ublock origin" -> uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill -> Add to Firefox
Why?
Because now that Chrome has dethroned Internet Explorer, one dark lord has been replaced by another:

Is Firefox the best Web browser? No, far from it! But it's the *least* bad choice of browser that works with the modern excuses for websites you use.

people always going "autistic people need support from their friends and family <3," "autistic people need patience <3" when what autistic people actually need is a comprehensive, peer-reviewed database of human behaviors paired with an advanced search mechanism so you can type in a thing that you do and find out if it is an Autistic Thing, a Weird Guy But Not Autistic Thing, or by some miracle an Actually Everyone Does That Thing

I want to take this article, print out copies by the ream, and force feed it to everyone who's told me to "just apply" for whatever over the past couple of years. https://www.salon.com/2024/07/28/everlasting-jobstoppers-how-an-ai-bot-destroyed-the-online-job-market/
