Nice name for a Linux Distro.

Now all that remains, is to make a distro.

Time for Big Grave to get a piece of the pie


Now to harvest all data and materials out of dead bodies for max-profit.

Multiple post-mortem scans to identify lifestyle parameters and extrapolate to get past buying habits and predict future generation's buying trends.

Then extract longer living organs and bones for use in hyper-processed products. Leave the skin, so that taxidermists can then charge a premium from the relatives to make the "body" look like a real dead person's body before public incineration or embalming and engraving.

Then research zombification ...

Other than stuff like ffmpeg - which has so many features that a man page just can't cut it; and sed - which doesn't have a simple hyperlink saying "you go here to learn sed regexp", most man pages do what I need them to do.

You just need to learn the basics of how the man page is organised and what the brackets in the SYNOPSIS section mean and that makes using them much easier.

We also have man man for that purpose.

I actually used to make backups (Export) of each edited key and keep them in folders with context, so I could later look them up or even set them again in case of a reinstall.

Now, they are lying, forgotten, on some NTFS drive that I haven't opened in years.

Why have all the other organs eyes? If there’s any organ with eyes connected to it, shouldn’t it be the brain?

No eyes + happy face ⇒ more intimidating

That seems nice. And then you can make the pointer more like a reticle.
Yeah, you'd definitely need extra stuff for drawing.

Well, you won't be fitting a mouse inside a keyboard, so...

Between the trackpad and the nipple, definitely the nipple.

It took so long for me to get half as good at the trackpad (after increasing its speed in the settings) as the nipple (with which I even managed to play Quake III (Old ThinkPad)). And this is saying as someone who can't use the gamepads.

Of course mouse is best though. Never tried a vertical for long enough and fixed my carpal tunnel onset by just being more physically active.

Another way is to put magnets under your normal mouse and set it on a slanted metal plate.

Now I am kinda interested in trying it out. Need to find some powerful magnets nearby.

An eye tracker sounds nice, but there are times when I want my cursor to be in another place while I am looking somewhere else.
On the other hand, if I could pair it with my multi device keyboard's device selector, it would be great.
