mastodon 4.7.2I am a mad scientist, which is redundant, because you certainly have to be mad, to be a scientist!
I'm into anything Quantum, Electronics, Security and (Software)Minimalism.
While looking for a simple way to handle my mail in the commandline, I stumbled upon this beautiful tool suite by @leah@blahaj.social and it's absolutely everything I was looking for and then some.

Why is this not being talked about more? It follows UNIX philosophy, is cleanly written in portable C and is extremely versatile! At almost 500 stars on Github, it's certainly not unknown, but it took me ages to stumble over it, so clearly, it's not popular enough yet!

do you like your donuts with sprinkles or do you have some deep unresolved trauma that stops you from letting yourself be loved?
what is the most cyber color and why is it #41FDFE?
if you don't like ai, consider supporting quantum computer research. they don't steal anyones data, they are energy efficient and have strong use-cases in medcine and material science. there is nothing that's not to love about them!

@Elleaster@ohai.social if a treatment is not approved until you are cured, you are not being cured, you are being held financially hostage.
is it valid to put multiple copies of songs into a playlist, such that i can keep it on shuffle, but the songs appear with my desired probability distribution?
