This is the kind of brilliance that the internet is _for_.

@april Oh man I'm so glad this still works

@april this is such an excellent reference

@april okay but can we talk about how the two of you managed t secure the "april" and "may" handles on GitHub??

@april wonder if @june has got this yet?

@april no, no, it'll keep *their* AI out of search results, not everyone else's. Which might be the worst of all worlds.

@april oh no, I’m old.

@april

@april
Not good

@april The worst thing, is that this is the reality. All my data is being kept "hostage" @ Facebook, because i refuse to accept their new terms in Europe, and there's no way i'm paying them to stop doing so either, because i bet we will see a "scandal" in the future, where someone leaks intel about their "dark secret private data profiling". I just don't trust big tech companies like them. I guess i never truly have been lol 😅

@april when a corporation says no, they mean yes. You actually have permission to download everythint you want of theirs and they can't actually do anything about it.

@april yeah now more than ever piracy is sooooo legit

@april After literally YEARS of dealing with the internal BS, including having the company change hands/get bought out repeatedly, so then HR had to re-do everything (including moving the goalposts repeatedly), I FINALLY got the promotion I've working at for the last few years. I'll be retiring next April, so there's that, I guess.😆

@april @josh Careful, if the powers that be realized this inequality, they would just make the interview match the promo process - certainly not the other way around.

@april The only time you still need z/j/J is when you pipe something to tar.

@april Well, but, it's not like I'm going to memorise a *different* tar command line.

@april wait.

I was having a good day until I saw this. 🤦‍♂️

upon further reflection, I am going to ask ChatGPT to write all my children stories in the style of the Brothers Grimm

@april Not belittling anyone's achievements as this is awesome...however, I could not care any less about fonts.
My thought process...I power up a machine and it functions, all is good. if it doesn't, the expletives I mutter only act as a vent while I stumble and plod my way to the next carnival of frustration. The type of font, and whoever imagined the code for it, well...I just don't care. That still holds true for me 50 years since my first hands-on introduction to computers.

@april goodness. The history of #NeXT- has it been written? Those were the days.

@april Also, those are some rocking nerd kicks. #NewBalance
