ha! no, it’s literally 888.

The oldest use that the Oxford English Dictionary gives for less with a countable noun is a quotation from 888 by Alfred the Great

another thing to consider, they didnt often have the boss watching them while they worked. yes, the endless chores had to be done every god damned day, but your time was yours to manage to a large extent. want to pop off and chat with your neighbor for an hour in the middle of the day? who’s gonna stop you? who’s gonna look at your timesheet? what timesheet?

yes, let’s submit our language to the arbitrary opinions of some long dead english gentry idiot, why dont we. never mind how people have actually used the words for literal centuries at this point, we must uphold the bigoted idiocy of the english upper classes!

trying to wean europeans off their endemic alcoholism is whatever, i doubt you’ll achieve much, and this is probably not the way to do it, but at least it’s not a terrible idea in theory.

but i love this british practice of labelling socializing as “anti-social behavior”.

reminds me of another british article where residents were worried that teenagers would congregate in parks and stand around and talk to each other, and how this anti-social behavior must be stopped.

they’ll call the next guy the “next trump”, but they’ll also say “even trump was better”.

and before you know it, they’ll have rehabilitated trump.

vidir is similar

there’s also rename (the perl one, not the shit one). i have fond memories of renaming albums with rename 's/(\d+)/sprintf "%02d", $1/e' so they’d ls in the correct order

• atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
• perl -e / perl -lne / …
• units
• bc - a calculator that’s actually good
• pass - the only non-shit password store tool i’ve found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
• alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that’s frequently what you want
• unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
• find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

oh yeah, and for the shell readline, alt-b, alt-f, ctrl-w, ctrl-u, ctrl-k, ctrl-a, ctrl-e

normal weirdoes like this just go back to the KJV but i guess schlafly thinks even that’s woke…
