if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

Ok but seriously, what am I going to do with a nearly 4-foot-tall (114 cm) Cool S, I've run out of wall space for such a thing. Do I let it into the blank wall space I keep for professional video calls? Do I mount it on the ceiling over my bed??

If you apply the dynamics of a subculture scene to the billionaire/ruling class scene, then a lot will make more sense. It’s a small community, the doesn’t do anything about known abusers and their actions have consequences for the rest of us. But they’re all buddies, even supposed enemies.

Here's what we know about the shooting outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in South Carolina today involving anti-abortion protesters. We spoke to volunteers + reviewed footage of the incident. Anti-abortion violence is sharply on the rise—essentially encouraged by the Trump admin:

The special election is in 2 weeks and Turning Point Action shifted most of their GOTV team to this little known recall and after Kirk died the volunteers significantly increased. Their goal is to shift Mesa to an even more far-right stronghold, TPUSA folks encouraged Mark Lamb to run in CD5 too.

stty wizardzines.com/comics/stty/ (from The Secret Rules of the Terminal, out now! wizardzines.com/zines/termin...)

your TTY driver has configuration

you can see how it’s configured by running:

stty -a

for example it print out the current window size!
Ctrl+S

by default, pressing Ctrl+S wi(( freeze your terminal (and Ctrl+Q wi(( unfreeze) I have never wanted this in my life, you can turn it off with stty -ixon (fish turns it off by default)

###fun fact: changing Ctrl+C technically you can use stty to set a different keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+C, (ike “u”

stty intr u

this is extremely chaotic and I can’t imagine a reason that I would ever do this though
programs have to configure the TTY driver to get friendly features

developer: I want arrow keys to work in my program!

other person: better tell the TTY driver to turn off canonical mode! (more on the next page)
the TTY driver’s settings are called “termios settings”

for the gnarly details:

man termios

but if you’re writing a terminal program libraries like readline or ncurses will handle setting up the TTY driver
panel 6

smiling stick figure with short curly hair: I’ve only needed to use stty once in the last 20 years and I mostly don’t understand its output but I think it’s a fun view into terminal internals!

They are going to stage a mass test killing in the concentration camps at some point soon. At this point it’s the next stage. This will be used to normalize routine lethal suppression. They’ll say it was a “riot” and they had no choice.

The Antifa movement began in 1932 in Germany as Antifaschistische Aktion, specifically to oppose nazism. ANTIFA in the US started in response to neo-Nazis in the 1980s It specifically is anti Nazi. So what would you call someone who is opposed to antifa ideology?
