Okay, I need to write another #introduction for here, don't I?

Hi, I'm Fabian!

Theoretically, I do unixy computery things that you may or may not care about - the fish shell, some weird tiling script for kwin,...

I also enjoy music - I grew up with metal and blues but am trying to expand. Also videogames.

But in practice, what I do here most of the time is stupid puns, and jeansifying people's avatars.

I'm german but ~98% of my posts are in english.

So:

#fishshell
#metal
#videogames
#puns

Activitypub feature request: Faving someone's boost.

Not the post they boosted, but the act of boosting.

Please don't assume any motivation for me not boosting a post.

So `const` in C(++) is basically just a bit of a pinky promise,

Oh god, Arch's haskell packaging is super annoying.

And I don't even *use* haskell, I just happened to have a need for pandoc yesterday, and it's already updated *twice*.

I don't quite know what this is.

Well, I guess it's an irish short film.

But, like, what is it? It's... stop motion, but with people? WHy? What?

So apparently FreeBSD claims "xterm-256color" can display 67 colors?

If you need an "and", is it not two things?

That's my main beef with that "unix philosophy" phrase that people keep throwing around: Nobody can agree on what one thing *is*!

It's nice as a guideline - "try not to do too much", "focus on your core" or something, but as this holy grail it never really worked, unless you're writing the 2000th cat implementation (without "-v" of course)

Reading someone's plea for people not to play a (currently free) game because it's made by an abuser, and... I don't agree.

My take has always been that you can enjoy art made by a bad person, if you're able to, as long as

- the art itself isn't bad (e.g. it's advocating for racism)
- you're not giving more money to the creator (e.g. you've already bought it)

I've quit both Iced Earth and lostprophets because I couldn't stand them anymore, but if you feel differently, have at it!

You ever just have a crush on your girlfriend?

My brain is doing the thing where it's not doing the thinky thing very good at the moment.

That's probably okay.
