The movie Brazil features a literal bug in a system as a plot device.

One would hope.

I think those should work, but if you're entirely degoogled, maybe running a container would work?

Yes. Most of those are just costs. I'd replace that with building a customer base and doing the math for how much of it you need to keep income over costs. That's what kills most business ideas.

This one seriously made adult me very uneasy.

Simpsons also, a bit, iirc.

Not a bad trip. Funnily enough, DD is probably one of the few things I haven't read yet. I probably started work cat's cradle (pretty late).

And there's a lot of people in the world that effectively get told this all their life.

Some for things that aren't even their choice.

Everybody definitely doesn't.

Well, not the whole baby. Just a small taste to go with the mutilation.

I don't think I've found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.

But I'll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one 'Did not have permissions message'.

Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a '-d' flag or a '-h' flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.

It's like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What's the big stuff in this dir.

Depends on the machine and.. maybe other things. I used to think that, too, but on my current machines I can step backwards just fine.

It's probably a much more intensive operation requiring processing a lot of the file from before and throwing away current buffers or something.

It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.

Device, maybe. What happens to the games bought from a DRM monopoly?

Except I think your instance affects what you see. Not all communities and instances are replicated everywhere.

I don't know. There are a lot of foods already out in the world.

don't recall it having a cpu

So, what's updating the display? Power supply imps?

Why did the reuse old master tapes?

Money. Or the perception that there isn't money to be gained from the replication and maintenance of the archives.
