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!

#bash #bashscript #echo #foss #linux #unix #BlackHistoryMonth #gnu

He was born in 1959 and is a GNU hacker, programmer, entrepreneur, consultant, author, and free software advocate. — Photo of Brian J.

If for some reason you have one of Bezos' Li'l Snitches in your house and it's rolled out the new voice (a lot younger-sounding, kinda creepy), turn to it now, say its name and tell it to "turn off follow-up mode." The new voice wasn't the only change (of course); it now listens actively to the conversation and inserts comments where no one asked for feedback.

Ideally, you'd throw the hockey puck out the window, but maybe you're staying with a relative and just need to shut the thing up without destroying it. This should do the trick.
