Games that pushed the boundaries of AI and social issues. I’ll be returning to this book as I explore many of the adventures referred...

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?
I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros.

Just realized I can just use "..." to go back two directories! Is this a zsh feature?
I accidentally discovered that both “cd …” and “…” work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I’m using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I’m pretty sure this isn’t a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??...

So, I have a GPG key with two noreply email addresses. One for codeberg.org and one email address for github.com. When using the user@noreply.codeberg.org of codeberg as user.mail globally, I can make commits which show up as verified on codeberg.org.

Has anyone checked out marginalia search? (search.marginalia.nu)
This is not an ad BTW, I literally stumbled upon it a few minutes ago. From what I can gather, however, this is a [DIY-ish] search engine that solely searches on text (no other forms of media, such as, … idk hypertext maybe), which allows users to have more control over queries (like including and excluding terms).
