solid advice.

Another book on the history of unix is UNIX: A History and a Memoir from Kernighan. It was a joy to read.

Cool. I noticed I have seen the author’s name in TUHS mailing list. He’s still posting there sometimes.

Use different user accounts. That provides you with very stronger isolation and separation of concerns, with the bonus that you won’t be exposed to their crap.

There is an abundance of stupid quotes from people of all kind on this planet.

These quotes are handpicked to hate, not to initiate discourse .

You’ll be missed Bram. RIP.

I’m sorry for your loss. My dad passed away ten years ago from Alzheimer’s and I was not there for him (and he could not recognize me). You’ve done a fantastic job.

This is my thought literally every time.

Haha good catch!

Fun observation: as a native, just like many natives, you have made a grammer mistake. “have known” and not “have know”. Might be a typo though.

My fun theory is that grammer is just a form of heuristic made up by humans to simplify understanding languages.

I’m not a native.

For Europe it’s FOSDEM.

Came here to say this. Instead of pronouncing your name on the phone, just read the NATO alphabets that constitute your name.

Same here. btw, I just subscribed to [email protected] , it has over 500 members, so you might want to check it out.

No, not really. I’m still learning my way around in Lemmy. I use wefwef.app and just recently the developer has added a subreddit import feature which might be able to find matching communities for you. though didn’t work great for me.

I’d pass

It’s very interesting indeed. A while ago I read Carl Popper’s Open Society and it’s Enemies. In that book he argues that Plato and to some extent Aristotle have developed underlying philosophical tools to support, for a lack of better term, “closed” societies. For example slaves rather remain slaves, farmers remain farmers, and rulers remain rulers. He argues that they contribute to a totalitarianism, and undermine democracy by discouraging being equal and in general “change”.

Take all this with a grain of salt, since it’s a while I’ve read the book, so can’t articulate it better. But your comment reminded me of all this, so I thought it might be interesting for you and other readers.

ps: I personally think there is no natural place for things, that’s us, sentient beings, who define that and give things meanings.
