kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)

I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.

I you have YYZ you are three dudes.

Thanks, I hate it.

It looks like the logo of the Azov Brigade, which definitely has a Neo-Nazi stuff in its history.

The unit has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,[15] its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations. Others argue that the regiment has changed, tempering its far-right underpinnings as it became part of the National Guard.[20][21][11] The Azov Regiment has been a recurring theme of Russian propaganda.[22]

So you’re not wrong.

Though this doesn’t mean that Ukraine as whole doesn’t deserve support, because right-wing/neo-nazi groups are an ongoing problem in most militaries (and police).

Though the Schwarze Sonne in the background is definitely sketchy.

A lot of people keep asking me questions that are answered by the cover of my book…

My favorite version

Don’t forget to get some blinker fluid!

To paraphrase a war criminal:

The nine eight most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm from Germany, and I'm here to help.”

Ah yes instant incest coffee

Where’s the missing link??????

🥚 came first cuz of dinosaur

I’ll just leave this here… :’-)

I’m not stopping you, lol.

Just try to do a few training exercises every day, those really helped me.

And as a bonus, you already know 2 letters! The A and M are the same as on qwerty. And if the other letters on the keyboard distract you, you can always tape over them.

Good luck, I believe in you!

I actively practiced with whatever tool gnome had built-in at the time, it’s called klavaro or something. It’s a very simple practicing app.

It took about two weeks for me to get familiar enough to be able to work in it without having to switch back sometimes.

The trick is just like with learning a new language: don’t switch back unless you absolutely have to, not when it would be convenient/faster.

Within a month or two you’ll be typing Dvorak like you’ve never even heard of qwerty.

Some things to note:

At the time I learned dvorak I was not fully typing qwerty with ten fingers, so ymmv.

I’m actually using programmer’s Dvorak; the difference is in the placement of the non-letter characters.

I don’t necessarily recommend it over regular Dvorak; if you find yourself regularly using other people’s machines, I’d probably recommend against it. Every major OS has Dvorak built-in, but not programmer Dvorak.

everywhere I use 10 fingers to type, I use dvorak; but I still use qwerty on my phone.

I tried dvorak on my phone keyboard, but my thumbs kept bumping into each other. It was too annoying so I switched back.

The definition of the word spam (as in too many messages, e.g. email spam) comes from a Monty Python sketch that was repeated as a meme ad-absurdum on newsgroups, turning it into spam. Which I learned here.

Obligatory The Tragedy of Systemd

The USA: where money has been legally transmogrified to free speech.

You definitely have a way with words!

Huh, you learn something new every day
