Finder is macOS equivalent of Windows Explorer (maybe, it’s been a while). I assume Linux desktop suites have various similar processes. In other words, a second optional layer (with more features) to access runtime libc file manipulation api.

Boy oh boy would you hate AppleScript. This is what I have to type to throw files in the trash instead of deleting them.

tell application ”Finder” to delete POSIX file “/full/fucking/path/to/file”

I stopped reading this comic back in the mid 00s because they didn’t read the Wikipedia editing guidelines, and they got scolded when they edited things incorrectly, so they tried turning their audience into getting revenge on Wikipedia somehow.

The guy that said DUI and DWI are the same is wrong.

First, states have different blood alcohol levels that qualify as intoxicated.

Second, assume you are driving funny on a Friday night and a cop pulls you over. They will test your blood alcohol level using breathalyzer. If it shows you have been drinking but your blood alcohol levels is below the legal intoxication level, then that is a DUI, and it is a lesser offense.

Last I heard, some states like Texas don’t even have such a thing as DUI. It used be and still might be, that if you are not intoxicated then the cops will force you to get a ride home but there is no criminal charge.

DWI means you were caught driving with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal intoxication limit. In most states, the legal intoxication level is so high that if you actually go over it then you are certainly very obviously drunk. This is a much more serious charge.

You offer an interesting vintage, but I’m going to have to resonate with you. Your ideas are just too methodology.

Even after you do, you still have to find a definition

LOL! 99% of people absolutely do not look up a new word when they hear it. If the listener thinks it makes the speaker sound smart then they get a vague idea of the meaning from context and then start using it – often in the wrong context. All the dummies of the world repeat this process and it spreads like a virus.

And thus, another word with a very specific meaning gets turned into another broad-meaning synonym. If don’t believe me I’ll caveat all over your nuances until you verbiage.

The founder of Amazon is buying the discontinued OS made by Jean-Louis Gassée and porting it to IBM mainframe platform. He’s going to name it BezOS.

Required reading to get this joke:

For anyone confused, they mean Cognitive Behavioral Therapy not Cock and Ball Torture or Computer Based Training.

Childhood torture memory of Dad making us put drops of olive oil on every ear of corn in our vegetable garden that was big as half a football pitch. And these caterpillars with saddles on their backs stinging me.

Word on the street is that GNU’s not Unix.

I’m not advocating violence.

But, some people are saying that it won’t take a milita but only a small amount of brave individuals acting separately and willing to sacrifice their own freedom to agressively disempower a tiny set of billionaires. One at a time and as a surprise.
