HBD, Ken Thompson! Thompson received the 1983 #ACMTuringAward with Dennis Ritchie, for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the #UNIX operating system. Thompson explains creating UNIX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E2cCqAS9AM

Every now and then when I come back to use my daily driver running #Debian #Linux, I got surprised why #apt still does not provided short-formed commands like #pkg in #FreeBSD and #pkgin in #NetBSD do such as:
# FreeBSD#Unix #BSD #FOSS
pkg ins vim # same as pkg install vim
pkg sea vim # same as pkg search vim
# NetBSD
pkgin in vim # same as pkgin install vim
pkgin se vim # same as pkgin search vim
# while in Debian
apt search vim # no apt se/sea
apt install vim # no apt in/ins

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

A discussion that started with GNU/Linux vs Linux
expanded into sudo vs doas, X11 vs Wayland, and how
system design choices age over time.
I already had notes on dwm, st, and X11 usage, and
this thread was the motivation to turn them into a
short, standalone document about the trade-offs
around scope, ecosystem complexity, and sustainability.

The `vi` editor, a staple of UNIX-like systems, was first released in 1976 as part of the BSD. What are your favorite `vi`/`vim` tricks?
I regularly use the `gq` command in vim to clean up and format text blocks.
