> 'XD’ is a commonly used Polish emoticon. Different capitalisations and the number of xs and ds influence the meaning. It was adopted from the West’s usage as an expression akin to 😆 when Poland properly embraced the internet in the 2000s, but unlike in the West it didn’t slide out of fashion and adopted more general, varied usage among Poles. Sometimes it is also used as a noun.

Normalize fucking with the surveillance state. (reposting for alt text)
recently someone posted a book that detailed how to build #floppies from scratch (including the ferrofluid etc.) I thought I had saved or boosted it, but apparently not. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact title, maybe @nina_kali_nina knows? In general the book was talking about magnetic storage, and was from the 80's (I think). Please boost.
EDIT:
Found it thanks to @vaporeon_ and @gloriouscow , it's "Magnetic Recording, Volume 1".

Is there a way to quit `less`, in linux, such that it leaves the current output on the screen. Like I `less` through a file, I find in the file an example of a command that I want to run. I quit. The screen blanks completely and now I'm back at a prompt, but the thing I need to type into the prompt is gone. On some systems `less` just leaves its current display up and scrolls up one line for the prompt. But not on this system. Why.
Also: Same question but vi.
EDIT: See answer in next post.
If you are new, bring your interest! We welcome all newcomers and people interested in Freedoms and the want for change against the current tech monopoly!
We will start from 15:00 (3 PM).
