I'm talked about this: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109609941910796255

@lanodan @kadei `mkdir () { mkdir $1 && mkdir --rate ☺ || mkdir --rate ☹`

@annika
Yes, all of the above. I introduce every room that way. Including the hallway and all closets.

Not the garage, though. It knows what it did.

The annoying part is that there's actually a directive for the latter:
Romans 14:21 WMB It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

But I guess asking them to actually read the thing is too much.

@thomasfuchs
Chuck Moore seems to agree with him.

@timClicks @CptSuperlative @pluralistic For many years now, I've pointed out that (generally) the more directly your work helps other people, the less it pays.

Taught it "wasn't about slavery" in high school in Tennessee in 2000. "It was a range of reasons: states' rights, economic reasons, taxation, etc. Slavery had very little to do with it."

Thankfully, we had a student who studied up and brought notes to class, then tore into the teacher publicly.

I had a moment like this years ago. My grandfather passed and left me a pocket watch from 1912. Inspecting it, I realized nothing I had done or would do in tech would last as long as this watch. It's still ticking.

Not well, mind you. It needs some repairs and I was quoted $400. But it's still a beautiful timepiece. With a few new parts, it could still outlast all I do. 1/2

@mmasnick Being on T&S sucks exactly as much as I expected, apparently.

@siege
I've often wondered if similar flow charts for culture war topics would work at all.

@thomasfuchs Have you seen the retro tech enthusiasts around here? I wouldn't be shocked to find someone running a barebones Fediverse server on one of those.

@aeva
I'm trialling GuixSD specifically to avoid this sort of problem.

@aeva
The official stance is that they are evil, evil binary blobs. But you can use https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix to get them and other naughty proprietary software as long as you don't mention it in official channels.

Edit: I didn't find a more approachable package listing, but you flip through https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/tree/master/nongnu/packages if you're looking for something specific other than microcode.
