This is a great time to support people like Olan Rogers who have worked for all the majors and are bucking the system.

In my first weeks with it i had a subdirectory named “home” somewhere in a project directory I was done with. It must have been finger memory but when i went to delete it I typed

rm -Rf /home

That slash ruined my day

Well explained. Thanks for spelling it out.

At this point the Margot Robbie account is a part of Lemmy’s origin story

That’s a 419 when you surprise people with a coffee pot.

Aren’t you worried about your citizenship being revoked?

super nerd, please tell me your reasons involve zero g poop.
