@starbreaker As the tantra says, The lion is entitled to his roar.

Had a geek nostalgia moment today.

Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.

I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.

Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.

Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.

@devurandom sidenote: I'd play a GTA-esque game with a protag in a bonnot gang-esque group, tbh

@starbreaker @noelle this is a SPICY thing to say but i am actually pissed at stephen king for taking Rage out of publication, because it's so relatable for angry kids

19 ICE agents have recommended that the Department of Homeland Security shut ICE down. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/politics/ice-immigration-eliminate-agency.html

Now this is Social Engineering.

Stuttering John live records his vishing (voice phishing / conning over the phone) of the White House.

He actually gets in touch with President Trump on Airforce One.

"The thing about being a kid in the American public school system is that every day at least five things are going to happen to you that, were you a grown adult, would result in criminal charges or at the very least a written warning from the human resources department, but as a kid you have to just sigh and go to algebra."

The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.

@starbreaker Yea just so I leave this toot thread nicely resolved, got everything updated and back in, and everything is there still. a lot of repos need to pull from... shit, well, i guess a lot of repos need ot have their upstream updated, lolfuckme.

@starbreaker The myths are all strongly interrelated.

Zeus is just "Sky God". Jupiter -- Zeus Petra, is Sky Father.

The names come from PIEroots, similar to Sandscrit IIRC. H.A Guerber, Joseph Campbell.
