The movie Brazil features a literal bug in a system as a plot device.

One would hope.

Probably still too massive and fugly "old iPad and double sided tape" interior design, but it's a step in the right direction, though.

Devil's always in the details, though. I'll go have a look at one of it ends up on the market here, that's pretty certain.

In a developing country rates also go down with civilization as people learn how not to breed like bacteria. But once it's about choice, that starts to be a good list. I'd almost list safety as a common theme in them. And in Russia.. yeah.

And there's a lot of people in the world that effectively get told this all their life.

Some for things that aren't even their choice.

Everybody definitely doesn't.

I don't think I've found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.

But I'll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one 'Did not have permissions message'.

Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a '-d' flag or a '-h' flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.

It's like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What's the big stuff in this dir.

Depends on the machine and.. maybe other things. I used to think that, too, but on my current machines I can step backwards just fine.

It's probably a much more intensive operation requiring processing a lot of the file from before and throwing away current buffers or something.

It’s gonna look like an 80s Supra or RWD Celica

Shut up and take my money!

It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.

Device, maybe. What happens to the games bought from a DRM monopoly?
