Check out the fzf shell bindings. Reverse history search with fuzzy matching is one of the features.

The fashion crowd has chimed in and they’re certainly not wrong. That said from a practical standpoint, outside of the one-off fashionistas and overzealous folk working the door, very few people will be paying that much attention to your shoes if they’re matching your pants.

I am completely wrong if this is a snooty crowd having a wedding at a country club or something extreme like that. For the most part though your average person is enjoying the wedding not inspecting everybody’s shoes.

If you want to Google some general guidance, formal is generally somewhere between cocktail and Black tie.

Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.

I actively wish JK harm.

Moar like haole moco amirite?!

Well, I tried shovin’ a wiener in the warp drive, but it dinna do a bit of good. By the by, would ya have a wee bit of mustard up on the bridge?

This is why I have issues taking rawstory seriously.

A story about a story, but not examining the journalism, just … a story about a story.

A link supposedly to watch the story that is actually just a link to the page you’re already reading.

The included clip is to youtube, not MSNBC, and it’s not even to the official MSNBC youtube channel which absolutely does have this same piece posted.

Fuck I hate this.

I run into this most often on sites for TV shows and movies myself.

I understand that we exist under capitalism and that it costs money to host and distribute these videos.

I’m willing to pay for access to this service by letting an ad play (probably while I’m pouring a glass of water in another room and have my speakers off).

What gets me is a 3 minute ad on a 44 second video. Interrupting the middle of a sentence with an ad is also annoying. Placing a 30 second ad in the middle of a song can also fuck right off.

Find an appropriate spot for your ad, and make it’s length sensible with regards to the length of the content I’m watching. Or just don’t offer an ad supported tier of your service.

In the great tabs v spaces debate I am pro spaces.

However context is important. In Obsidian I can’t press shift+space to unindent, I can do this with shift+tab. So in Obsidian I use tabs.

I don’t intend to access these files outside of Obsidian 99% of the time, so I never bothered to flip on the setting that inserts spaces when you use the tab key.

The amount of software available in the package manager, without adding external repositories, exceeds that I’ve seen in any other distro I’ve used. Even with epel, I feel like others fall short.

The ability to modify the build time flags of software while still using the package manager is also huge. I hate when ffmpeg doesn’t have speex support because some upstream dev figured it was a corner use case.

It’s me, I’m the target demographic. I’m the one asshole who wants to build ffmpeg with speex support, clamav without milter support and rxvt WITHOUT blink support.

There are some pretty great userspace helpers too. Things to ensure your kernel is always built with the same options. Things to upgrade all your python or perl modules to the new interpreter version for you. Tools for rebuilding all the things based on a reverse dependency search.

Slotted installs are handled in a sane, approachable, and manageable way.

The filesystem layout is standards compliant.

I recall someone on /r/Gentoo saying something like “Gentoo is linux crack, when you get a handle on it, nothing compares.”

When I boot my laptop into fedora/arch/mint/etc (or really any non-bsd based distro), I feel like I’m using someone else’s laptop. There are a bunch of git repos under /usr/src for the software I wanted that wasn’t in the package manager. I need to manage their updates separately. Someone else has decided which options are in this very short list of GUIs. I’m using whatever cron daemon they chose, not the one I want. Why is there a flat text log file under /var/db/? Why won’t you just let me exist without any swap mounted? $PATH is just a fucking mess.

I used to use prgmr, I still do but they call themselves TornadoVPS now. Haven’t had any issues.
