No because the caption under the first image says that SUSE's mascot is a 'gecko named Geeko' -- which cannot be farther from the truth, for it is a Chameleon named Geeko, that is the mascot of SUSE. Aye.

BezOS ... that's Amazon Linux though.

vim now has an option to put the .vim folder in ~/.config; though I'm not sure if the default plugin/package & syntax folders can be set under ~/.local/share.

IIRC this issue is mentioned in the gitlab discussions (from months ago ... not sure how this became news suddenly); they're looking to patch Inter if they decide to use it as the UI font.

some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them

Is it this one: https://www.typelit.io/ ?

But they're already back! The Steam Deck is the resurrected Steam Machine.

Skimmed over the whole article -- I wish this had been available back when I was trying to piece together the basics from the documentation. There really needs to be a 2nd part, though, with some discussion of the GVariant signatures, which the author says were 'beyond the scope of' this article -- which is true; nevertheless, understanding that syntax (and how to use it e.g. with gdbus) is an absolute requirement for using dbus properly; and as a silly amateur, I lost so much time over them.

As of bash 4.3, (which came out nearly 10 years ago) it's possible to get readline to set a variable to do that: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/CHANGES?h=bash-4.3#n832

I've haven't used bash in a long time, but there are many questions/answers on stackoverflow that provide hints as to implementing an indicator like that. One zsh's 'zle' (line editor) it's a matter of setting an environment variable inside a custom prompt; so the bash approach should be similar.

Those are Stimpies though. Stimpies of the Ren faire.

Thanks indeed; but I think I'd be more impressed if it were actually true.

(but yeah, the first draft of Star Wars was called 'journal of the whills'.)

Little known fact: A Stanford mainframe kept logs of the activities of the 'wheels' in a journal -- the 'journal of the wheels'. Young George Lucas, who briefly attended the university, found that journal, and became fascinated with the 'Wheel Wars'. He later drafted a document that he called 'Journal of the Whills', based largely on what he read on those logs; this is the draft that later became 'Whill Wars', and ultimately, of course, 'Star Wars'.
