Peter Sunde said that the show is not a fair description of what happened and that it’s missing the focus on what was important.

It’s like the first time I saw the movie Trash Humpers (2009), I was thinking to myself: is this a good movie? It isn’t. But, the beauty of that movie is that it exists. There’s no deep hidden symbolism, it’s a bunch of old people in long awkward scenes where they literally hump trash. The lack of a coherent plot adds to the question why they do that. In this world of endless choices and struggling, these people are trash humpers. And that’s respectable in a whole aspect.

In an ideal world, dodging questions would lead to decreased popularity. Politicians should feel that if they give bullshit answers, they will not get elected. To get there, we must actually demand, reward, and punish with the power we have, our votes. Of course, one person doing it makes no difference. We need to convince others that this is important.

The same arguments about learning vi/vim/neovim holds for ed. It’s not intuitive, you need to get used to it, you need to learn, etc. People choose not to learn vim for the same reason vim users don’t want to learn ed.

It’s a text editor. It all began with the ed editor, which is very simple and does one thing, it edits files. Then someone extended it into the ex editor. Then someone added a new feature: being able to visually see the file you’re editing, which became vi, the visual editor. Then someone improved that, into vim. What began as an editor where you needed to be fluent in regular expressions but otherwise was simple, is now a very complex editor, moving the functionality of the old UNIX tools into the editor itself.

hello fellow sdf’er :) I specifically chose SDF so I could choose what to block myself, and so far I have just blocked a lot of anime. Anything political I see is leftist.

Does ex(1) count as specialized/higher ed? On BSD systems I just use standard ed(1).

If you don’t mind me asking, how is this affecting you? How do you feel about it?

Is this something she expects you to figure out for her?
If I were you, I’d explain that you’re open to try anything in any way that she is willing to try with you, but the initiative must come from her. You are there for her to help her figure it out, if she’s interested in trying something.
If she is interested in exploring this, she will. If she is not, well, then nothing you can do will help or convince her. Instead it could become a stressful expectation in itself.

After reading this I was at the local grocery store and counted 17 different kinds of bearnaise they sell. Sweden loves bearnaise.

I am partial to pdksh, mainly because when I read it I hear a drummer going “ba-dum-tschh” like at the end of a joke, which is how I see most of my sed invokations.

Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.

Is it proprietary software? If so, I find a free software alternative.

True, I don’t have to dress plain, but if clothes make no difference for her, I just wear what I feel most comfortable in. I know how I react when I see her in yoga pants, and I wish I had the option to affect her similarly through clothing.

As a man, I wish clothes would make me feel desirable. I have asked my girlfriend which clothes she would like to see me in, but she says it’s not about the clothes. That it doesn’t matter. It’s more about what I do. So I just dress in plain, comfortable, practical clothes which makes me, well, practical. Useful. I often wish I had options to just be desired for my body, without the pressure to achieve this or that to be desirable. It’s a source of sadness for me.

Didn’t they just get like a million dollars from the Sovereign Tech Fund?

Let’s start saying “rajtan-tajtan” as some weird anglicism?

Assisted Living (aka Äldreomsorgen i Övre Kågedalen) by Nikanor Teratologen. It’s a very bleak and horrible story about a boy who is in an incestuous relationship with his nazi philosopher grandfather. Together the go around committing murder, rape, and other crimes, while relating everything to obscure authors and texts. The original is written entirely in a swedish dialect which is hard to understand, and it didn’t translate that well into other languages I think. Despite all this, it is very well written and has won prizes and been made into a play and radio reading etc.
