I'm already confused whose partners the USA is? Russia's, probably. They so gently protect russians interests🤬

The weapons being delayed include dozens of Patriot interceptors that can defend against incoming russian missiles, thousands of 155 mm high explosive Howitzer munitions, more than 100 Hellfire missiles, more than 250 precision-guided missile systems known as GMLRS and dozens each of Stinger surface-to-air missiles, AIM air-to-air missiles and grenade launchers, - NBC News

i've always been curious about how to write a Linux USB device driver and this blog post looks like a great intro: https://crescentro.se/posts/writing-drivers/

Everything is going to hell but one silver lining is the apparently collective decision in western countries over the last few years that bras are no longer socially mandatory.

Small favors.

I know that there are hundreds of Britons who have come to fight for Ukraine. Dozens of them have given their lives. And thousands are doing everything they can to support us.
In the video, an English grandmother sells ice cream and donates the proceeds to funds helping Ukrainians. This small gesture means more than tons of diplomatic statements 🇬🇧🇺🇦

The reason this zine is called "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is that I learned more useful things while writing this zine than when writing any other zine, even though I've been using the terminal every day for 20 years.

It really left me feeling like the terminal is full of hidden secrets -- because "the terminal" is made up of so many different pieces, there's no single terminal manual you can read!

Here's the table of contents (which as a bonus shows the components of the terminal!)

@b0rk I've used the terminal for a long time too and know quite a few of its secrets, but back when you did the (a?) survey a while back I went to answer it fully expecting to learn some new secrets and was happy to indeed learn.

@b0rk I plan in the next few months to resume working on my Terminedia ASCII art/ Terminal framework.

I feel confident the information in this zine will teach me a lot and allow me to include some nice features and behaviors there

@mjd the illustrator (Vladimir) is SO good, often he puts in fun little touches that even I miss until much later
Show threadsvenkJun 24
@b0rk @mjd out of curiosity, did you only "outsource" the cover or do you have all your drawings done by (other) professionals? Can you share details of Vladimir, is he available for other projects too? I like your work and this cover is also amazing.

@b0rk got it, thanks for all the hard work compiling all this info. I'm digging the cover art, trying to catch every piece of visual language, like the obvious fish in the bowl but also the glob in a globe, color pallete and other fun details.

@b0rk Wow, this looks great, & it's probably exactly what I need! I'm an old codger who's been using Linux for years, but limited to GUI. Now there's a program that I want mucho, but its package isn't in my distro's repositories. Tried "winging it" via the terminal, but no joy and I don't know why. I think you may just have saved the day! Ordering the zine asap! Many thanks!

@b0rk I am a bit confused; why does the store demand that I supply a full billing address, including a valid phone number, when I am just buying a download link to a PDF, and you already get my email address 'in case you need to contact me about my order'?
Show threadJulia Evans6d ago

@sindarina your email address is so you can get a confirmation email with a link to the PDF

but the phone number part is silly, i wish i could turn that off, you can just enter a fake phone number

Show threadSindarina, Edge Case Detective6d ago
@b0rk Yeah, I understand why you need the email, I guess the rest is just the shop SaaS, heh.
