And after you have learned Linux, download any distro that lets you work on your projects with the least hassle and get work done without fiddling around in every aspect of the OS. At least that’s what I’ve observed among older users who see the OS as a tool and not a hobby in itself.

Where I work, the fax was a way to ensure that information could be sent in multiple ways, if one way would fail. In the medical field (at least where I live) we must have systems with backup systems in a few layers. We have a nice digital medical chart system, and I still have to print out many things and put in a binder that no one ever reads. Because the internet could stop working, or electricity could fail. We even have routines for which types of pen and paper can be used if we need to write things by hand while electricity is gone.

The torso is a tricky concept, there’s no good anatomical definition that makes sense. Is the pelvis included? The whole axial skeleton? Everyone knows the general idea of where the torso is, but it’s hard to define with precision.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you able to see the fnords yet?

One time I figured out why a strange dependency was needed in a LaTeX book. It’s part of the official documentation of a project and the author had opened an issue about it. I dug deep into the package code and figured out why, came up with a fix, and contacted the author about the solution. That was two years ago and they have not replied or fixed it, but just worked on different things. I don’t demand anything, but I haven’t felt motivated to help out since then in that documentation project.

This reminds me of Rob Pikes paper from the year 2000.
