My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated

What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal

Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump

Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11

I was in #Toronto last week for a conference; I always take at least some of my gear for off-hours exploring. Met some grey squirrels. This new mama was looking a bit rough (unsurprising, as anyone with newborns will tell you)--I learned from a squirrel aficionado that mama squirrels will pull out their fur to make a nest for their babies, since they often nest in cold spaces. Gives new meaning to parents who say their kids make them want to pull their hair out!

@thelinuxEXP what's happening in is interesting, hope they do it right. LibreOffice needs a while to get used to and you have to understand that it's not MS Office, when you do, it's a joy to use it.

I've been relying on the command line more and more recently to do some quick changes on my system, convert videos, and do some server admin, and I realized I had never really made a quick tutorial on the basics of the #Linux command line, so here we go:

X11 fork, Denmark moves to Linux, Android gets more locked down
In this episode, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build
