unix history & women 

It makes me sad that the women who are mostly responsible for making Unix on personal computers possible aren't talked about much, because of figures like RMS & Torvalds (and whoever he argued with on usenet - Andy comes to mind) coming to dominate history.

I know shockingly little about Lynne Jolitz, despite her being pivotal to affordable Unix on the i386 being possible.

I know that there were women involved with the development of Coherent but I'd have difficulty even naming them. (seems connected that most of the early 386 Unixes were developed by family business?)

The old Bell Labs documentaries always make it seem like most of the earliest Unix users were women as well.

@millenomi holy fucking shit, do not make me wear my fucking skin on the internet.

People in this interview, including the director of this documentary, keep going on with calling the physical body images of these people the ‘real’ images of these people and oh, buddy,

YE GODS, the boilerplate.

I can see Qt subscribes to the Java philosophy of "super ridiculously long names and things, use an IDE Or Else".

Whee, doing a git bisect on tmux to figure out when its unicode broke.

Fuck you, stalebot.

Not that it was causing any actual problems in this case, but still.

"Cutscenes" is absolutely a word, Firefox. Are you living in 2000 or something?

...I do not know when "cutscene" became a mainstream word, so my estimate may be wildly off.

I want a good wallpaper of me, but the cutscenes are all 720p or something so they look like shit when screenshot at 1080p.

I suppose we could set our desktop resolution to 720p, screenshot, then upscale.

Or we could just draw me. Haha like that is feasible.

... Downside of having your system accent color be red:
you can no longer tell when updates showing in the little notification badge thingy are security updates. (They are red instead of the normal color... but if your normal accent color is red...)
