It's a bit of a shame that this fella went to all of that trouble digging through Illumos.

#Illumos is one of the few platforms that does not have the header from 4BSD. It was ironically quite the wrong place to look. The GNU and musl C libraries have the header, as do all of #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, and #NetBSD.

The problem is that although has been around since 1983 (1993 in its current form), almost no-one, apart from people like me who write terminal emulators and whatnot and cannot just use cfmakesane(), knows that it is there. It isn't in any manual.

Which leads to things like stty in GNU coreutils going all around the houses to do something simple, too.

#ttydefaults #termios #stty

Devin Stone does a 50 minute #LegalEagle analysis of just the first part of the #BricksAndMinifigs #StarWars #LEGO affair in #Utah; says that there's a part 2 to come, covering what happened after the other YouTuber got involved; gives a dense information-packed point by point exposition and analysis of the legal positions, including rebuttals of the absurd ones; and points out how a lawyer would have saved some expensive mistakes from happening before even going to court.

Then the comments section is full of people who just ignore all of that, leap to discussing the not even yet released part 2, confuse 'consignment' and 'contingency' amongst other things, and complain about court costs as the reason that lawyers (who, for one thing, know how to serve notices properly) are expensive.

Undoubtedly fantastic in terms of the YouTube algorithm. Kilocomments! But it is saddening to see so many people who did not take in anything that they just watched.

Oh, no.

I've just commented on an #AndrewBossom video, about #Usenet in the 1990s. I can see this escalating.

But I'm confident that there were no colour TUI newsreaders before tin, which came out in 1991.

No, green on black does not count. (-:

And I was definitely using colour Fidonet and QWK readers in the late 1980s.

Why, yes, this is a point about a 3 second piece of illustrative B roll in a video that isn't about Usenet. But Bossom put the caption on top of it instead of just leaving it alone, so xe only has xyrself to blame. (-:

Here's the 2015 post, by the way:

#Bielefeld

'IKEA' rhymes with 'idea' and 'Jysk' rhymes with 'whisk'.

Stands to reason, dunnit?

In case you missed it, as I did, all of the people associated with Linux Journal are now *formerly* associated with Linux Journal, and all articles for well over a year now are #AIslop under a single byline of 'George Whittaker'.

I really wish that people would tell all of these people currently panicking about #YouTube not recommending stuff that they subscribed to that *subscribing* to a channel gets its videos listed in one's *subscriptions* feed not necessarily in one's *recommendations*.

Recommendations are an algorithmic guess as to what one might like, and if one never or rarely watches stuff from channels that one subscribed to, one might never be recommended anything from those channels.

Subscriptions are one's statement of what one likes, and the feed is chronological. Like Mastodon.

I'm currently well behind on a couple of subscribed channels, and they're not being recommended to me at all at the moment. But they're all there in my subscriptions feed.

Maybe a lot of people need to add https://youtube.com/feed/subscriptions to their WWW browser bookmarks.
