When I did events, I’d wear two pairs of socks, thin pair against my feet, then thick pair over the top of that.

I’ve also used moulded sole inserts from time to time.

In other news, Aussie Influencer discovers that the UK has an even stricter social media ban…

On a positive note, a Dev responded to that post indicating that the behaviour of the platform is being reviewed.

Which counties voted what and what was their voting record over the last 33 years on the issue condemning the USA blockade of Cuba?

Depends on what your blender is capable of.

It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably.

Very cool, didn’t know this existed!

If it’s never happened to you, how would you know that it’s happening at all?

Does this mean that the reverse is also true?

Skin cancer is like an iceberg, what’s under the skin is what will kill you. Go and see your doctor.

Between the clickbait, YouTube “enhancements”, exploding AI slop videos and the atrocious search facility, the platform is rapidly becoming completely unusable for finding relevant information when you’re looking for answers.

As an entertainment platform it’s forcing creators to make long form content and making viewers sit through more and more low quality content.

It’s evolving, but I’m pretty sure it’s heading towards extinction, rather than greatness.

I wonder what the criteria are to define what an artist is, or what requirements are needed to qualify for such assistance.

Wait until you get your head around awk 😇

The commands man and apropos are your friends to get you started.

Learning how to use specific tools like grep, sed and awk is a case of getting started by using them. Most of the subsequent learning process will focus around how to create regular expressions (regex), for which there’s also a manpage.

The “typical example” for a dd command is like saying, “here’s a great way to shoot yourself in the foot”. A better way is to understand that most of these tools follow the UNIX philosophy:

1. Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.
2. Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don’t clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don’t insist on interactive input.
3. Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.
4. Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you’ve finished using them.

Once you “grok” that, you’ll be in a much better place.

Oblivious or Complicit, neither is something you want to run your government.

So the people in that office are either oblivious, or complicit.

I wonder if the USA will run out of essential items before or after the next election.
