From 1982 Unix manual: The following is a list of commands provided in the /bin/ directory on your system disk. Modern BSD, macOS and Linux look like a blot in-front of 1982 Unix version. But, then again, computing is evolved so much. We now have faster disks/CPU, more ram, high-speed Internet and what not. Now you know why they call Linux or Unix programmers operating systems ;) Source: http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/uNIX/uNIX_Jan82.pdf

Here’s a snap of my partner in crime, Finnegan. He was a rescue pupper that was the missing piece to our family… don’t let the icy stare fool ye, he’s a sweetheart! #dog #doggo #dogsofmastodon #finn #finnegan #ohio #ohiodog #ves #vesakimbo

This is mostly for @loriemerson “Emma Nutt became the first female telephone operator on 1 September 1878 when she started working for the Boston Telephone Dispatch company, because the attitude and behavior of the teenage boys previously employed as operators was unacceptable.“

I've actually been reluctant to post more on Mastodon since the controversy on PoC being blocked for not using CW when talking about their shared experience.

As a WoC from a disadvantaged background, I care deeply about socio-economical issues and it's something I've always tweeted about.

I'm curious to know how other BIPOC are dealing with this, or if non BIPOC folks are adamant about using CW liberally.

I love that twitter's all "ARTICLE 5, NUCLEAR WAR" and Mastodon's all "Article 4, diplomatic solution", great demonstration of the vibe difference between the sites

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.

I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.

So my name came across as:

Thank you to the person who reminded me of this!

Paliliście takie? Po chyba 20 latach dzisiaj odpaliłem jednego w ramach testu. Testu czujników pożaru w domu. Czujki działają, mi ciągle jest niedobrze.

Enhancing biodiversity in a spruce plantation. A blog we wrote a few years ago has been reposted. Hope to reassess recruitment and structure again next year. https://www.ontarioparks.com/parksblog/biodiversity-killarney-tree-plantations/

Excited to announce I'll be removing the mitochondria from my cells today. Nobody remaining here knows why they're there, apparently an old bacteria or something? Microservice bloat has gone too far. Looking forward to achieving significant cost savings.

1. People used to eat a lot of raccoons. Particularly impoverished and enslaved people.
2. Some people still do.
3. One lady sent a live raccoon to President Coolidge for Thanksgiving. For dinner. Obvi.
4. The First Lady liked it so much she named it Rebecca and kept it as a pet.

You are welcome. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/did-president-always-pardon-turkey

So, if Twitter goes to hell and just becomes defunct, we’re going to lose entire chapters of recent history — including evidence of war crimes, human rights violations, and more. I hope we’re all paying attention to this and considering what we need to do to ensure that a billionaire can’t decide which parts of history to retain — and which parts to erase forever.
