Hey @HachetteUS@twitter.com, @HarperCollins@twitter.com, @WileyGlobal@twitter.com, @penguinrandom@twitter.com, I will not buy any more books from you until you stop harassing the Internet Archive with lawsuits, and I will advice everyone I know to do the same.

FZF is such a versatile program; here is a simple oneliner I have in my .bashrc to fuzzy find and open documents:

Hello my good ol'friends 🥰

The City of Seattle should follow the path of Eugene, Oregon (<3) and fund a civilian-based crisis response program similar to CAHOOTS: https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2020/06/theres-already-an-alternative-to-calling-the-police/ #DefundSPD

As unions, it's our responsibility to fight for all forms of justice, and there can be no justice without racial justice.

We are moving to a new apartment this week and yesterday I found out that we have fiber directly to our apartment 🤯 (the provider we choose uses FTTB though, but anyways this is a first for me)
