   Blog post: Why I have a little C program to filter a $PATH (more or less) https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/MyPATHFilteringProgram
   tl;dr: because at one point I had a universal set of dotfiles where I listed every possible thing that could be in $PATH on every system I had an account on, and then filtered it down to only the (unique) directories that actually existed on the current system I was on.

   It's a C program because in the old days this was faster than (limited) shell builtins.

   @kkarhan Yes that is a risk.
   But the investment in a new car is expensive.
   And somebody would have to buy the thing anyway.
   Having it trashed, would be environmentally even worse.

   But I won’t blame anyone from scratching or otherwise vandalizing my car from now on.

   It’s right.

   We have been overshadowed by our sister account, @PixelFed@pixelfed.social

   With more than twice our follower count, it just goes to show that Pixelfed has arrived.

   We're not going anywhere, we are so appreciative of our Mastodon origin story.

   We couldn't thrive without the fediverse, it doesn't matter what platform you are on.

   It just matters you are here.

   Praising Trump for his antitrust pick, as @protonprivacy CEO Andy Yen did (https://archive.is/l1WYU), reveals wilful ignorance of the slide towards authoritarianism. That's disappointing for a product that journalists and human rights defenders rely on.

   It's not complicated: All Trump is interested in is to implement rewards for CEOs who bend the knee (tax breaks, deregulation, etc.) and punishments (investigations, bullying, antitrust) for those that step out of line.

   @webology Because it's free, has infrastructure that I can control easily, it's easy for folks to pick up and understand, and it's easy to pull reports on.

   It's not something "Django" competes with. It's a SaaS platform that has yet to be created would need to compete with and the immediate gap is pretty big.

   The lamest form of "journalism" is two reporters/commentators having a conversation that adds absolutely nothing to anyone's understanding of what is going on.

   It's also one of the most common forms, because it's WAY cheaper than doing actual journalism.
