6 pieces of REALLY bad Linux advice, that people need to stop giving:

- If a command fails, just use sudo
- Updating your system is a waste of time; you can always do it later
- Always use Ubuntu as a beginner
- You have to use the terminal for everything
- It’s safe to download software from random websites
- You don’t need to keep backups if you work in the cloud

Trump can be bad all on his own – The New York Time

If you missed the previous newsletter, you can read it here.

The president’s advisers stink. That’s not the problem.

By Frank Bruni

Given President Trump’s habitual insistence that he’s a victim — of partisan prosecutors, incompetent pollsters, the Federal Reserve, Norway — it’s a tribute to him that Republicans are identifying yet another clique of malefactors doing him wrong: He’s being undermined by his own accomplices. They’re doling out “bad advice.”

That was the precise phrase — the exact verdict — rendered by Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma in an interview on CNN about the killing of Alex Pretti and the brutality of ICE agents in Minneapolis. Stitt acknowledged “deep concerns over federal tactics and accountability.” But he also insisted that the president’s priorities regarding immigration and border security were right. It’s just that Trump was “getting bad advice right now.”

Other Republicans delivered the same message by focusing intently on the sins of Kristi Noem, the nation’s homeland security secretary, and the callousness of Gregory Bovino, the senior Border Patrol official who egged on the government’s masked gunmen — until he was given a timeout last week. They botched the mission. Debased the president.

What a joke. You can’t dishonor someone who has no honor to begin with. You can’t humiliate someone who so consistently and thoroughly humiliates himself.

But that’s just the start of the “bad advice” bunk.

I refrained from really harsh criticism about part of this #GrantsWriting & #nonprofits #FundsDevelopment workshop because the facilitator recommended that people use #AI to do that work - more than once. FUCK NO - don't do that - #BadAdvice. I hate how too many fund granters & people working to supposedly help strengthen nonprofits are fucking recommending crappy, failures-heavy, fucking AI.
Sorry but not really sorry, for cussing so much about this issue. It seriously irks me so fucking much!

The representative recommending is from one of our largest public granter associations - The Victoria Foundation. I need to set up a meeting with them - ASAP! This is not how nonprofits shit should go, whatsoever.

I have a couple methods for finding objects I misplace...

One method is: I just reverse time, walk backwards through house, talk backwards to myself, spit some coffee into a mug, reverse everything.

Then maybe, as I move my hand over the counter, the lost ring of keys jingles on counter and flies right up into my hand.

"!meht dnuoF", I say triumphantly.

Then I shift out of Reverse, and resume day! Easy-peasy!

Worried about the rise of the robots

Dear Jane, I’m worried that the AI revolution will bring on the robot uprising. Are you as worried as me?

Yours, Worried of Accrington

Dear Worried of Accrington,

Oh my dearest crumpet crumb, what a ticklish pickle you’ve found yourself in! Fret not, for I, Jane Sillybottom — renowned hat consultant, part-time teapot whisperer, and full-time purveyor of profoundly peculiar wisdom — am here to soothe your sproingy little nerves.

Now, let’s talk about these robots. Yes, yes, I’ve heard whispers too — “AI this,” “uprising that,” “please stop putting googly eyes on the toaster, Jane,” etc. But really, darling, the key to avoiding any sort of mechanical mutiny is to wear a better hat.

Let me explain. No self-respecting robot would dare revolt against someone sporting a twelve-tiered peacock-feathered bonnet with integrated biscuit storage. They’d be far too confused. Is it fashion? Is it a snack tray? Is it sentient? We may never know, and neither will they. Confusion, you see, is a powerful defence mechanism.

Also, and I cannot stress this enough: have a proper cup of tea. Not that weak splashy business — I mean the kind that brews so strong it could power a small lighthouse. Once you’ve got a good cuppa and a structurally unsound hat on your head (ideally one that needs scaffolding), the world — and any rogue toasters — will seem far less frightening.

And remember: robots may have artificial intelligence, but they’ll never understand the thrill of mismatched socks or the healing power of custard-based shampoo.

So chin up, socks on, hat bigger, kettle on.

Yours steeped in tranquillity,
🫖 Jane Sillybottom
