"but documentation is good actually" Manpages are the worst fucking kind of documentation known to mankind and the only good ones are the ones written sarcastically
if i need to read a manpage to learn how to Fucking do a Normal Established Thing in my Computer i'm turning you off and returning you to the dumpster i picked you up from
manpage is one of the main reasons normal people will never enjoy or even consider to use Linux

@arielmt also, shit, i didn't look closer, that is a hilarious SSL error
@arielmt this is a good general guide but the "be precise" part alone is what's more relevant to what i needed
lots of people in MCU circles going "can this do x" like. yeah. can you make it do it?
@arielmt (i didn't remember who wrote it, and i'm not going to reference it any longer lol fuck this)
@arielmt oh for fuck's sake

I declare that today, Nov. 19, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of BitBLT, a routine so fundamental to computer graphics that we don't even think about it having an origin. A working (later optimized) implementation was devised on the Xerox Alto by members of the Smalltalk team. It made it easy to arbitrarily copy and move arbitrary rectangles of bits in a graphical bitmap. It was this routine that made Smalltalk's graphical interface possible. Below is part of a PARC-internal memo detailing it:

In 1982, a physics joke gone wrong sparked the invention of the emoticon
A simple proposal on a 1982 electronic bulletin board helped sarcasm flourish online.

i remember an article a very long time ago on "how to ask questions" in the context of tech spaces i.e. "can i do Y" vs "how can i use X to do Y in Z" but i can't find anything of the sort now, does anyone know anything like that?
