  • No, I would never call them the ineffably sorrowfull and historically awfull term you chose, and I do ask you to not, too.

    These people protected, saved lives of non-binary people, and served them multiple times. And not to mention non-recorded cases, that inherit and supported other numerous people they rescued, saved, and served.

    Please do consider people in military forces who put their lives back to back in the fields, and face the true agony, hate, and sorrow.




  • I am sorry… In this case, I come from military and engineering fields, and these are quite genius people in field operations, hardware, programming, security, and the most have children, and that’s probably why…

    They just believe those who are into these “minorities” are eventually left without children, and leave their parents without grandchildren, their whole family root stops, permanently… And the most would start discussing how damaging that propaganda is to decrease the birth rate… and would focus on that instead of the actual artwork…

    In other words, I just expressed the thought I had regarding the presence of a “sticker for a value” that does indeed affect the auditory much. The lack of it would probably allow the work to be expressed in more environments and lives of people out there, in more safe manner, but its up to the talented and quite genius artist! ✨



  • Thank you! I do like the dithering, colors, radical layout, a likely manual font, and overall pace of the great, priceless work…

    Regarding the “value” mentioned, indeed… I am sorry, and I would also send a link to some friends I know, who love pixel-art, Debian, and ThinkPads, some of them have multiple models of IBM logo era, but that “sticker” is what will cause them upset, I believe. They would consider it an instant “propaganda” for “childless, infertile, and disgust” and that “redundancy” would “devalue” the whole work for them, it feels like…

    Meanwhile, may I ask, what is the actual book? It seems as something about “radiation” or “radiolocation” etc. “operation… manual”…




  • If you want to actually realize the amount of possible misunderstanding in the current conversation and of what shell scriting is, please do consider joining #bash at Libera IRC. Please do also mention the word “throwaway” in the rooms! Since there’s literally no understanding on what you mean still, sorry. It does not feel like you have a significant enough understanding of the subjects raised.

    For a very simple example, there are literally no documentation regarding certain cases you’ll encounter in Bash’s built-ins even, unless you actually encounter it or learn from Bash’s very source code, like read built-in. Not to mention shenanigans in shell logics for inter-process communication (IPC), file-descriptors, environment variables like PWD, exported functions’ BASH_FUNC_, pipes, etc.



  • I am sorry, but I am not sure what tells you how Bash “was designed” or not. Perhaps you haven’t yet written anything serious in Bash…
    Have you checked out Bash PitFalls at Wooledge, at least?
    Bash, or the most shells, including Posix, or even Perl, are some of the most complex languages out there to make a mistake… since there’s no compiler to protect you from, and though legendary but readline may cause the whole terminal go flying, depending on the terminal/terminfo in process…

    No, sorry. I absolutely disagree on your stance regarding “shell” for a “bugless” “huge deal” in “real cases”.



  • Thank you, but I do disagree. You cannot know the “result” of that LLM does include all the required context, and you won’t re-clarify it, since the output does already not contain the relevant, and in the end you miss the knowledge and waste the time, too.

    How are you sure the output does include the relevant? Will you ever re-submit the question to an algorithm, without even knowing it is required re-submit it, since there’s even no indication for it? I.e. The LLM just did not include what you needed, did not include also important context surrounding it, and did not even tell you the authors to question further - no attribution, no accountability, no sense, sorry.




  • It’s worth to mention that the StackOverflow survey referenced does not include many countries with also great/genius developers, including Belarus, Russia, China, Iran…
    There are related cases raised on Meta scopes: Developer Survey 2025 is, apparently, region blocked…

    Apparently, while I’ve being employed in security as software engineer for at least 19 years now, I’ve never ever considered these trendy LLM/“AI” all serious, and still do not.

    Sorry, I have literally no interest in all of it that makes you dependent on it, atrophies mind, degrades research and social skills, and negates self-confidencen with respect to other authors, their work, and attributions. Nor any of my colleagues in military and those I know better in person.

    Constant research, general IDEs like JetBrains’s, IDA Pro, Sublime Text, VS Code, etc. backed by forums, chats, and Communities, is absolutely enough for the accountable and fun work in our teams, who manage to keep in adequate deadlines.

    Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research… I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art…
    I just disable it everywhere possible, and will do all my life. The close case to my environment was VS Code, and hopefully there’s no reason to build it from source since they still leave built-in options to disable it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79534407/5113030 (How can I disable GitHub Copilot in VS Code?..)

    Isn’t it just inadequate to not think and develop your mind, and let alone pass control of your environment to a yet another model or “advanced T9” of unknown source of unknown iteration.

    In pentesting, random black-box IO, medicine experimental unverified intel, log data approximation why not? But in environment control, education, art or programming, fine art… No, never ^^

    Meanwhile… so freaking, incredibly many developers, artists are left without attribution, respect, gratitude…
    So many people atrophy their skils for learning, contribution, researching, accumulation, self-organization…
    So much human precious time is wasted…
    So much gets devalued…

    The time will show… and just a few actually accountable will recover only, probably…
    This is so heartache… sorrowful…
