Gratuity

Emphasis on “right.”

According to him aren’t elections already fixed?

They are both old; only one is a convicted felon.

Fix the court? The court is fixed!

Any flavor of vi, Gnu Screen, lrzsz, bash with the usual cli tools (awk, sed, grep, tail, head, rev, cat, tac, and recently jq and yq). Also openssh client. Some flavor of netcat is also crazy useful too. This is a good home for me to do my thing.

Edir: oh, and git. How did I forget git?!

To this day I still don’t upgrade OSes in general and I even evangelize “rip and replace” professionally so loudly that it’s now enforced via policy at my workplace. This must be where my ethos for this practice originated.

I think it was SLS. I know it took a pile of floppies. At some point I made a tape to make it easier to install. Why I needed to install that often eludes my aging memory but those experiences still pay to this day.

As with all tech; it depends. It’s another tool in my toolbox and a useful one at that. Will it replace me in my job? Not anytime soon. However, it will make me more proficient at my job and my 30+ years of experience will keep its bad ideas out of production. If my bosses decide tomorrow that I can be replaced with AI in the current state, they deserve what they have coming. That said, they are willing to pay for additional tooling provided me with multiple AI engines and I can’t be more thrilled. I’d rather give AI a simple task to do the busy work than work with overseas developers that get it wrong time and time again and take a week to iterate while asking how for loops work in Python.

I would argue this is only for apps you CAN trust. Bad actors gonna act badly.

Yeah, imagine a company being so dug into ruining the user experience.

The enshitification of capitalism? Color me shocked!
