I was today years old when I learned

chown rachel: foo

was equivalent to

chown rachel:rachel foo

All those years of keystrokes wasted!

Does anyone else who lives in #DarkMode have trouble with their eyes shying away from video calls when there are a bunch of people with white backgrounds? I keep having this thing where half the people in my calls have these stark white virtual rooms, and my eyes just keep finding phantom hairs and reasons for me to take my glasses off when that's not the way I am off these calls.

It's even worse when there are more than six people on, and a lot of head movement.

Did you forget about me
Mx. EULA apathy
Or did you click me in the middle of breakfast?
While you butter your toast
I'm combing through your posts
And assembling them into bullshit.

Adding AI to search engines is just like adding lottery scratchers to Christmas stockings. You never know what you're actually getting, but it's almost guaranteed to be a waste of all the time and money that went into it.

#SamAsh is closing their stores nationwide. I only learned this today when heading past the one in King of Prussia. and I decided to buy myself a viola for $35. Now to figure out my neighbors' work and sleep schedules so I can figure out when I can try to learn to play this thing without driving them nuts.

(When I texted my wife to tell her I'd done this, I asked her not to buy a revolver, cf.

One setting/feature I wish was in #GNOME Files (formerly Nautilus) is the ability to exclude removable drives from the recently-used files list. "Recents" is handy and I'd like to leave it on, but what's the point of listing thumb drives that aren't even in the system?

(Same could be said of many network file shares, but that should be a separate setting. Maybe have a list of paths and addresses to ignore, like /media or 10.10.10.10:/ )

It seems like it's taken me a very long time to think of this, and maybe no one in the UK has ever heard of the former Louisiana governor whose run for the US presidency in 2015 lasted 3.2 Liz Trusses but still ended before a single primary vote was cast, but.... Has anyone ever called #RishiSunak "Dobby Jindal"?

An optimist says the bowl is half full.

A pessimist says the bowl is half empty.

An engineer says the bowl is at 50% capacity.

A cat says the bowl is empty.

Do the laws and policies preventing Russian APT groups from attacking national assets also apply to the Trump Organization and the RNC? Because a guy who just asked for a billion dollars in bribes would be a hell of a ransomware or crypto theft target.
