   I think this goes beyond "did you not understand Star Trek?" because this is people struggling with the general idea of an extremely famous & popular character, which they are pretending to care about.

   It's the same media/cultural literacy problem as always but magnified. Like "Superman is kind" is a very uncontroversial thing to say about the character. There have been some depictions that are not kind (thanks, Frank Miller & Zac Snyder), but in general that's one of his traits.

   Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, the Fedora team actually maintains it. It's not some orphaned package on Debian that nobody cares about.

   It's not just about $newthing, but about having something designed for power users and developers who don't want to spend a day manually installing things.

   I like to tinker, I used to build gentoo machines. That installation process doesn't give me a hit of dopamine anymore.

   It's about reducing technical debt.

   They have the funniest signs in Colombia. I never did figure out exactly what this one was supposed to warn us about.

   It's not warning of a "serpentine" road ahead because the road is straight. It's also not a particularly dangerous stretch of road, and its doubtfully a slippery one. Maybe a snake crossing zone?

   I remember as an early Emacs user at MIT -- ca 1977 -- trying to figure out what TECO was all about.

   It was utterly impenetrable to an outsider!

   An ironic saying then was, "TECO: a moment of convenience, a lifetime of regret."

   If you are on BlueSky as well and you are a developer, I want you to do a little experiment.

   Look around at how people talk about their projects with ATP and the _kinds_ of projects they are talking about.

   Then compare and contrast with how people talk about their projects with AP and the _kinds_ of projects they talk about.

   It's eye opening.

   I finally saw one of those drones last night here in New Jersey that everyone has been clamoring about.

   It was hovering very low and had flashing lights on both ends. It moves slowly, but smoothly getting close and closer to the ground. It got closer and closer and eventually as it zoomed past., could see the word united painted on the side. Must’ve been something top secret from the United States government. Eventually, it pulled up to gate B11 at the Newark airport and about 200 people got off.

   What are THEY hiding from us?
