If you ever need to keep a Mac awake (e.g. so a download or backup can complete), the 'caffeinate' command might be just what you need. The only issue is remembering how to spell 'caffeinate'

“Throughout our trip to Germany, most of the conversations I had with other survivors and their families reliably returned to fears and intergenerational traumas in the context of the Trump presidency; the rise of nationalism, authoritarianism and uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world. But although this was at the height of devastating reports of famine and genocide emerging from Gaza, everyone in our group, especially the Jews, seemed to make a concerted effort to avoid mention of Pa…
What's your favorite FIrefox and Chrome extensions for putting back traditional Unix/X11 editing keys?
The specific behaviors I rely on are:
Ctrl-A: beginning of line [HAS CHANGED]
Ctrl-E: end of line
Ctrl-K: kill to end of line [HAS CHANGED]
Ctrl-D: Delete next character [CHANGED]
Ctrl-F: forward a char
Ctrl-B: backward a char
Maybe a couple others I'm not remembering.

Thinking about the US war on "misguided religion" and remembering that half the political support for Israel in the US is from people who believe that jews will, necessarily, mass-convert to Christianity at some future point.

Howling Dogs by Porpentine https://xrafstar.monster/games/twine/howlingdogs/
Solarium by Alan DeNiro
Five years ago today,
Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power
after losing a free and fair election.
January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand
— it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.
Marking this anniversary is not just about remembering the past.
It’s about confronting the dangerous reality of the present.
It just pisses me off as I keep re-remembering every 5 minutes that Schumer’s sad little list of demands were the negotiation •starting• position that’s going to get watered down.
I’m getting offline for a bit here. Bah.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever
encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

On this International Remembrance Day for the Victims of the #Holocaust, can we please also spare a thought for the victims of the #genocide that is happening right now, right in front of our faces?
What is the point of our remembering the atrocious crimes of the past if we do not strive to pre…
A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

I‘m remembering my friend @… today, who died last November.
He was a wonderful friend, a community builder, a musician, and an incredibly talented developer. He also laughed the hardest at my really bad jokes, which made me love him even more. I’ll miss you a lot Uli!
This song popped into my head today. I got it on 45 a zillion years ago from the back of Factsheet 5 if I am remembering correctly. I don't remembering it having quite that guitar solo though. Must be a new version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyyNBet4VRk

found out about music hall of williamsburg's closure by overhearing one bouncer telling another as i walked into the bowery last night but assumed i misheard & forgot about it til after the show. saw plenty of fun shows there, but mostly remembering it fondly as north six, before it was gutted & turned into a personality-less bowery knockoff.

A reminder, on Martin Luther King Day, that immigration is one of the things that has always made America great. And worth remembering that if the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice, it is we who must bend it.

VRCX is a way better tool than I ever imagined. Back when I heard about it for the first time, it just sounded like one of those lowkey stalker tools. But it's actually so good. Being able to see things like when I met a person and where, how much time we've been together, etc. is really helpful. I often struggle remembering stuff like this and VRCX gives me just the right amount of context I need to remember.

It’s striking how dramatically our mindset has shifted in under 30 years. Before the 90s, people were frustrated by the need to buy products they weren’t able to build themselves. Today, despite having unprecedented access to tools, materials, and even electronics development, many people prefer plug-and-play solutions.
In essence, we once valued understanding how things worked. Now, we often prioritize convenience and mental ease. Even remembering a few keyboard shortcuts feels excessi…
hmm i thought rachelbythebay.com has a complaint about colleagues not following a “make before break” rule when changing things
but i can’t find a post along those lines
i wonder if she used a different term for the idea or if i’m just remembering wrong
