"Do I need to learn Bash?"
Yes, you do. Working with the command-line is tech literacy. You are tech-illiterate without it.
reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/…
I mention this because of another trending thread about how "kids these days" who grew up with the Internet and iPads are technologically illiterate. They have no clue how technology works.
Basic tech literacy includes basics in:
- the command line
- programming
- sysadmin
- netadmin
I don't mean becoming an expert in all these areas, but learning the basics.
Said a simpler way, you need to know how to setup a Raspberry Pi on your network using the command-line. Sadly, this puts over emphasis on Linux, but at the same time, the skills learned doing this translate to macOS and Windows.
One of the problems we have for tech policy and law is that the politician/judge asks the nearest young person how things work. Yes, the young person is an expert in the Facebook, but no, they are pretty clueless how technology works. So we get bad law.

This article is typical hot garbage that take some ax to grind, such as the nonsense that is Trump, and revises history to support the conclusion that Trump is nonsense. The history of the Berlin wall has nothing to do with Trump.
I mention this because of this typical bit, which isn't true. The Internet as we know it today started in 1983. Computers were "online" talking to each other in a myriad of ways before that, and before the event 50 years ago mentioned here.
The Internet wasn't an invention but an agreement to start communicating the same way. It wasn't until the early 1990s that most people agreed to communicate using the system that first became available in 1983.

This NYTimes piece is garbage, a typical "think of the children" appeal to get you outraged rather than a serious discussion of the problem. It doesn't actually describe the scope of the problem, nor does it appreciate the difficulties in addressing the problem.
You can tell a story is garbage when it seeks to make you outraged over "baffling" injustices, rather than seeking to explain why. There are good reasons for Google's position, which the story seeks to hide from you rather than explain to you.
I don't know all of Google's reasons. I do know that it's impossible to write reliable algorithms to do this automatically, and that it's impossible to recruit/retain a workforce to do it manually.

I just had a big, satisfying fart.

I mention this because googling on the web tells me that human farts are a much larger source of methane than these inhalers that are supposedly "choking the planet".
Notice how this article isn't news. It doesn't inform, putting things in perspective, but deliberately hides information, to foment outrage against asthmatics. How big a problem is this compared to the rest of carbon emissions? like human farts?
Globally, ~35 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide are emitted annually by mankind. This "635,000" metric tons sounds like a large number, but compared to all the other methane and carbon emissions, it's not measurable.

1.
 #TulsiGabbard is the de-facto leader of the emerging leftwing sovereign populist movement in the United States.
I suspect this is by design.
In due time, DNC and RNC will be dissolved and replaced by a #PatriotParty.
She will be one of the leaders.
2.
 She's never going to win the democratic primary, but many voters will see how the DNC and MSM have ganged up on her and will not vote for Hillary or Michelle. Some on the anti-war left might even vote Trump as an act of protest and reprisal.
3.
 If she were to run as an independent. She would siphon votes from the Democrats, not from Trump. She would actually help him. Why would a republican vote for her instead of POTUS? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

#THREAD | The Hussaini Rituals: Purpose and Rulings

Why are the Hussaini rituals important and what are some key legal points we should know and understand when dealing with them?
This thread is not only about tatbīr, but about all Hussaini rituals and practices. The point of the thread is to shed light on the value and objectives of Hussaini rituals, and then give an understanding of the legal parameters of Hussaini rituals.
The Qur'an says, {And whoever magnifies the symbols of God - indeed, it is of the piety of hearts}.

As an introduction, we begin with the most fundamental point, and it is that God created the human being to attain perfection through constantly being conscious of Him.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Either #reddit is intentionally hiding the full extent of what the Internet research agency was doing OR they just have no clue how to identify the accounts. The 940 accounts they list were mostly trash.

#TrollFactory #IRA #Putin #Russia

reddit.com/r/announcement… via @reddit
while digging around in the list they posted i noticed a website some of the accounts posted links to
butthis.com
The site is gone now. But there is an archive of it here:

web.archive.org/web/2016010919…
This is kind of an obscure website, a lot like blackmattersus.com, blacktolive.org, and hilltendo.com.
All known IRA ran websites. All posted to reddit by known IRA ran accounts.
