The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

Why is fzf, the best utility, relegated to the end? And why is ripgrep - a huge improvement over grep, especially if you want to search only on committed files in a git directory - not even mentioned? This list is outrageous. Even more so because I can't pretend to have known about all of these before, and annoyingly now have to face the fact that some of these actually look pretty handy.

This is great advice. It's easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

Banksy is overrated sentimental trash and I will die on this hill. Also yeah it's a money making cooperative, not a single artist

Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn't get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.

Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.

For two years she'd been unable to print, and every single time she'd ever attempted to print something she'd followed the exact same steps that didn't work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.

SMH.

Kids can be really sweet, when they're not being twats.

I mean, it's red in the middle. That's not normal for a kiwi. Big fan, never seen these
