  • Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don’t speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

    Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

    burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

    guzik to jest częścią ubrania

    gówno jest produktem srania

    dynia to jest do jedzenia

    dupa to jest do pierdzenia

    And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.





  • I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

    It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

    The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

    I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.

    I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

    How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

    • Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
    • There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
    • If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
    • There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
    • There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

    ⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.
