‪Jumpin' Jehosaphat!‬

‪Within *minutes* of publishing an (extremely even and level) episode discussing a GIMP rename fork... got at *least* 20 YouTube comments that were off-the-charts vulgar and just plain terrible towards fellow humans.‬

‪From *both* "sides."‬

Is forking the "GNU Image Manipulation Program" in order to give it a "less offensive name" a good idea or bad idea?

@lunduke With the end of Linux Journal do you think there's any hope for real journalism to succeed in the future, or are we doomed to a profit motivated politically charged ad infested dystopia of clickbait headlines?

I just wrote a long, multi-post diatribe about some politicians.

Deleted it. There's enough yelling going on. Me yelling would just be more noise.

Time to pull a Lazlo Hollyfeld.

Yeah, baby.

Matt Hartley is back.

I bought and plugged Echo in tonight
And she hears every whisper of each quiet conversation
She streams a song, then books a flight
Her LEDs reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words to reclaim privacy
He turned to me as if to say
"Foolish boy, it's listening to you!"

If I can get 2,141 more subscribers on LBRY... I'll have the most subscribed to channel on LBRY. I just decided I want that.

Help me get there and I'll bring back . ;)

Cool.

My channel is the #4 most subscribed on LBRY.

And my buddy, @gbryant? He's nipping right at my heels in the #5 position.

The Register covered my article announcing @linuxjournal closing and included a number of quotes from my first goodbye that add extra context. theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/08/

I can't speak for the rest of the @linuxjournal archive, but I own the decade+ worth of articles I wrote. A lot of them are just as relevant today (I refer to them myself quite often). Would anyone be interested in some kind of "Best of Hack and /" polished and updated compilation?

I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here:

Today Linux Journal shut its doors for good. All staff were laid off and the company is left with no operating funds to continue in any capacity... linuxjournal.com/content/linux

@lunduke
One day I was in my parents farm with my young nephew helping to get up a bunch of cows. We had them all up except a couple, but as we got them headed the right direction, we saw the entire herd getting out again. I yelled, "Dadgumit" and my nephew looked at me and repeated "Dadgumit!"
I looked at him and said, You know, it's a good thing that I don't cuss.
He said, "yeah."
