It would be really cool if every operating system included a "help" command that printed some kind of help page that could take someone from absolute ELI5 noob to LEET shell scripter or even kernel developer without having to poke around on the web.

The closest I've seen to this is #OpenBSD which sends local mail to every new user that has an introduction and directs them to peruse Afterboot(8): man.openbsd.org/afterboot

in reply to R. L. Dane

$ man afterboot and $ help -- two more things that make #OpenBSD a great system




A Hong Kong man became the first person convicted under the city's new national security law after pleading guilty to sedition for wearing a T-shirt with a protest slogan. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/… #asiapacific #crimelegal #hongkong #china #censorship



In the age of disinformation and propaganda, how can the average person know the truth.

The answer is NOT Google, #ChatGPT, or blogs.

Return to the respected sources of old - #printpunk - peer-reviewed, referenced books.

Such books stand the test of time.

My congressional district, NY-17, also has a large number of Haitians, and is also represented by a Republican, Mike Lawler. I hope our former Representative Mondaire Jones, who is challenging Lawler, also gets this kind of support.

Heidi Li Feldman reshared this.

…just that summer, her state had made [#abortion] a #felony, w/few exceptions. Any #doctor who violated the new #Georgia #law could be prosecuted & face up to a decade in #prison.

#AmberThurman waited in #pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-yr-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking & her organs beginning to fail.

It took 20 hrs for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.

The otherwise healthy 28-year-old medical assistant, who had her sights set on nursing school, should not have died, an official #Georgia state committee recently concluded.

Tasked w/examining #pregnancy-related #deaths to improve #MaternalHealth, the experts, including 10 doctors, deemed hers “#preventable” & said the #hospital’s delay in performing the critical procedure [#abortion] had a “large” impact on her #fatal outcome.

"Do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don’t,” Vance continued. “I also don’t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No."

I am fairly sure she is running for First Lady, though.
