@lea I think #PowerShell is more #cursed than any other #shell becaise #Microsoft can't be assed to have any consistency and one gets commands that look like

CamelCase.command-network.option -flag --another option +includeThis +-excludeThat :user

And it's worse than #MSDOS / cmd.exe, sh tcsh & ksh combined because it mixes up #DOS / #CPM-Style, #UNIX-style and whatever the fuck the peoole.who designed the #Refistry in #Windows felt like that particular day...

  • Makes me so fucking angry!

#Funfact: I needed less code than that to build my first bootable version of @OS1337 just by comparison!

~100 kitties in a café:meowpumpkin: (@lea)mfs will go "powershell is so easy and intuitive" and then i look up what the equivalent to chown in powershell is and the first result is this (📎1)

A few weeks ago I wondered what it takes to turn a small LISP-1 into a LISP-2. Turns out it takes just a few hours to get most things right, then some days to iron out a few subtleties, and then a couple of weeks to polish it into a piece of art.
MICRO COMMON LISP is a tiny, purely symbolic, microscopic subset of #CommonLISP. It runs in less than 64K bytes of memory, even on #DOS (tiny model) or CP/M. Here it is:

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.

  • If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...

#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

  • I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

But if I was wrong, I 'd not be called upon as a Linux #Sysadmin and to act as "#BenevolentDictator" in terms of Tech Stack Decisions...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social @qdot@buttplug.engineer Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options. - Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject@mastodon.social have their own @gitlab@mastodon.social / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted. - If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles@monocles.social & @gajim@fosstodon.org may be an option. - If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip@fosstodon.org / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat@fosstodon.org / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience. Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically *#Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse*…

Upgrade time! I’ve added a combined 512K ROM / 512K RAM card to my RC2014 which replaces the two respective cards from my old setup and also brings the RomWBW system to explore. I’ve had the upgrade kit since the Retro Computer Festival in November and finally built it tonight!

@jameshowell @tfb @jbqueru @gumnos @mms Yeah, reminds me of the famous story how some guy "fixed" the #C128 #CPM implementation in the #hotel just before #CES presentation for some broken hardware requiring writing a register *twice* to work as intended ... using a stupid DISK EDITOR (and calculating the stupid sector checksums manually). Source: Bil Herd's emails telling all the C128 dev story ... 🙈

Ok, it's kind of awesome to have THAT kind of skillz, but also kind of weird 😆
