So I decided to go peek at the ragecomic subreddit. Yes, the very one-time ragecomic home-from-home outside of 4chan. Last post 17 days ago, using at least two “extinct” faces, got 600 upvotes.
It’s complaining that there are no good tools to make ragecomics any more. (I have not checked to see if that’s true.)
Y’know, I feel like they should stay there. Anything that’ll mess up an AI should stay on that site for as long as humanly possible. smilingthumbsuprageface.jaypeg
Thunderbird? It’s pretty mid as a calendar app, but it works. That said, for an i3wm user the bloat would likely be a turn-off even if was amazing…

Depends on the size of the company.
[I have told this story elsewhere before]
I thought I was so clever once. I taught a word filter about “th” thinking that would solve the problem, but it still got stuck on Scunthorpe. mfw.
Had to step through what it was doing. It had hit a rule that treated ‘oo’ the same as ‘u’ which, at least sound-wise, is valid for some words in some dialects. e.g. Consider “book”, which is identical to “buck” for many people. You can imagine why that might want to be caught.
To save you the head scratching, it had spotted the ‘c’ then a double-‘o’ then the ‘n’ and threw it out as containing a known racial slur.
The filter was for a random string generator so that it wouldn’t generate strings with bad words in them. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Since it was unlikely that it was going to generate “Scunthorpe” anyway, the problem remained unfixed.
Managers might not like people but they don’t want to get rid of them. There’s no cheap thrill from micromanaging an AI.
anaemic* (Sorry, that bothered me for some reason.)
As for capture groups, you’ll have to find another way. Perversely, perhaps BusyBox continues to be included on certain systems because they know that the extra space is required for the code that works around BB’s shortcomings. That sounds asinine until you realise that “solving the problem properly” most likely leads to that one XKCD comic about the proliferation of competing standards.
At worst, multiple sizes of BusyBox itself.
