"I've gone off the idea of progress. It's overrated."

Arthur Dent, episode 1 of the #HHGTG radio serial (and about 73% of Fedi).

@ricci Chat here is obviously French for cat.

@cwebber Note to self: do not try to out-nerd Christine.

@cwebber metric or imperial minute?

@TheGentleKlingon I'm a vegetarian, except for the pickled hearts of my enemies.

@liztai Watching "kill me, love me" with my mom as Christmas TV. I think it was your recommendation that convinced me, so thanks (also thanks from my mom).

@cwebber I hope you're gonna top-post the whole thread

@drandrewv2 The "no reviews" rule goes double for software and services I am forced to use by my employer.

Shout out to my 2nd year students writing tail recursive JavaScript because nobody told them they couldn't.

User of free software X: The X team should be split into 3 teams in the following way ...

Me, nervous: the X team is me.

Saw someone using "spit in the face of God" as a transphobic slur. I now kind of want to reclaim this as a defiant expletive for use in difficult circumstances. I think in Spanish from Spain there is a similar spirited (but stronger) curse "to shit on God".

TIL (thankfully second hand) that running "systemd-tmpfiles --purge" will delete /home in systemd 256 [1]. Apparently if you think linux is mainly for running cloud services, this seems reasonable to you. Or something.

[1] tested with systemd-tmpfiles --dry-run --purge on debian. I guess it _could_ be a Debian addition, but I'm guessing not.

@clacke Missed opportunity for a pun on "wig".

@liztai I hope it is more relaxing than the name suggests!

@liztai Yes, I can take a couple days in Seoul.

@liztai Thinking of going to #Busan this summer for a work-related conference. It's my first time in Korea, not sure if I can make time to visit #Seoul as well (other than the airport). It is tempting, but also a bit overwhelming.

@Spooky The gargoyles unionized, and we refused to pay them a proper undead wage.

@marcan I would like to subscribe to this "blocked from HN" service. Thanks.

@clacke My main interaction with "real" punks has been at a local animal shelter benefit, and my impression is that punks are also kind.

@clacke @ariadne @steeznson I clicked the "translate" link, but it didn't help.
