The ABC's of #unix . Hope this renders right :)

A is for awk, which runs like a snail, and
B is for biff, which reads all your mail.
C is for cc, as hackers recall, while
D is for dd, the command that does all.
E is for emacs, which rebinds your keys, and
F is for fsck, which rebuilds your trees.
G is for grep, a clever detective, while
H is for halt, which may seem defective.
I is for indent, which rarely amuses, and
J is for join, which nobody uses.
K is for kill, which makes you the boss, while
L is for lex, which is missing from DOS.
M is for more, from which less was begot, and
N is for nice, which it really is not.
0 is for od, which prints out things nice, while
P is for passwd, which reads in strings twice.
Q is for quota, a Berkeley-type fable, and
R is for ranlib, for sorting ar table.
S is for spell, which attempts to belittle, while
T is for true, which does very little.
U is for uniq, which is used after sort, and
V is for vi, which is hard to abort.
W is for whoami, which tells you your name, while
X is, well, X, of dubious fame.
Y is for yes, which makes an impression, and
Z is for zcat, which handles compression.

If you put needless mandatory text fields in forms, you’re wasting my time. I’ll waste yours right back with my usual placeholder text, “[ object Promise ]”.

I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.

Suojellaan suojelualueet – Lakialoite luonnonsuojelualueiden rauhoittamiseksi kaivostoiminnalta - Kansalaisaloitepalvelu

https://www.kansalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/13216

Aloitteen allekirjoittaneet kansalaiset esittävät luonnonsuojelulakia, kaivoslakia ja erämaalakia muutettavaksi siten, että luonnonsuojelualueet rajataan malminetsinnän, kullanhuuhdonnan ja kaivosvarausten ulkopuolelle. Tavoitteena on turvata pysyvästi ja ylisukupolvisesti luonnonsuojelualueiden säilyminen.

Allekirjoitus ja jakoon kavereille 👍

Did you know you could control brightness of the red dot on the i of the "ThinkPad" on the top-side of your thinkpad? I sure didn't:

this turns it off:

```
echo 0 | tee /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:lid_logo_dot/brightness
```

and this turns it on:

```
echo 255 | tee /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:lid_logo_dot/brightness
```

I don't really know what this information is good for, but hey, isn't it awesome to have a 1px display on the outside of your laptop?

@creachadair this is an underappreciated facet of Go IMO, how packages were carefully designed to not require mass retraversal on rebuild.
