@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social ObClassic: when the top language scholars descend into bad puns... « En vérité, dit un jour à M. Villemain un des quarante, ne trouvez-vous point qu'Alfred de Musset s'absente un peu trop ?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social He's the one making sure the vial gets broken regardless of quantum state, causing all attempts at validating the theory to fail. Otto set back physics by 91 years.

@introvertcatto@lgbtqia.space My youngest bypassed age verification on a site. When I asked what he did, "oh! I just took the picture of an npc from the Internet."
I'm proud of my kids. 😁

@darthnull@infosec.exchange @bruce@darkmoon.social @bob_zim@infosec.exchange @cR0w@infosec.exchange adjacent to this, is the old-school convention for various tools' cli to accept "!" as a command to start a subshell. You can still find it in mail/mailx, and vi/ed, for example: type :!ls from vi to list your files, or type "!more saved.txt" from mailx to view a file. Pretty sure this is what inspired the "!!" incantation.
One thing that looked like magic to me on modern bash, was the Ctrl-R keystroke: it puts you in a reverse-search mode. Type part of any command in your history to bring back that command in readline/edit mode. Ctrl-R again for the next hit.
Oh no.
My all-time favourite remote desktop tool that I've been using for well over 15 years, @NoMachine@mastodon.social , went from full-altruistic to full-Evil last week, by switching to a yearly subscription model. 🤢
Time to transition the whole house to a new remoting platform... 😭
What are y'all using nowadays for remoting / using headless machines?

@rbmath@mathstodon.xyz /me being polled: "Well I'm a scientist! How famous do they need to be before I can name them?" *rolls eyes*
100% agree, that's a poll for Reader's Digest at best.

@hrefna I hope you insist on being served in Middle English, with an appropriate display of decorum.
White male privilege is also this: you get "educated" instead of getting charged with Federal Wildlife protection offenses. Because #whitemaleprivilege is more important than laws.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social @twobiscuits@graz.social I wasn't rich enough for those, but even Mozilla Composer was doing a pretty fine job. Think about it, draw your click regions, click a button, and *poof* you got you 54 segmented images with associated html formatting and hypertext links generated for you.
Not we got, uh... React? 🤢

@hal_pomeranz It's never a good time nor appropriate to mention that Luddite, but re-reading the Unabomber's manifesto in this age of ChatGPT hits hard.
He passed away in his jail cell, when ChatGPT was announced, with a rope/bedsheet around his neck.

@ancientjames@mastodon.social omg pinholes... that's so simple it's brilliant. I was trying to figure out how you could've done directionality and my mind went straight to ulexite, and I was thinking... wait, you can't make that into a bendable panel, can you? 😂
