Micah: Happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to all who celebrate GNU Terry Pratchett, who definitely knew the correct list of priorities in any revolution

Happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to all who celebrate GNU Terry Pratchett, who definitely knew the correct list of priorities in any revolution

A DISCWORLD PRIMER* *or, why should I read this thing that everyone keeps going on about? Come on in, sit down, pull up a chair. If you have followup questions, feel free to ask me or @ankhmorporkcity.watch, we're always happy to help. (1/a lot, idk, we'll figure this out as we go)

I’m sure this is noted somewhere else but I can’t find it: what does GNU mean?

it’s part of the messaging system of the Clacks (the Discworld telegraph) G: message must be passed on N: do not log U: turn around at end of line so “keep passing the message forever” in concert with “a man is not dead while his name is still spoken” it’s a way to remember Pratchett

GNU Sir Terry.

At work, we use a little piece of software to record stuff - when you crack it open and look at each source it logs, there's a little GNU Terry Pratchett notation in there. I like it - every time it gets opened up, there's a little reminder.

re-reading Soul Music in the sun today, I think it is one of his best, there are so many brilliant passages.

And in the book was a clear nod/reference to the GNU collection of software. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU

How Do They Rise Up

Except of course my lilacs bloomed four weeks ago.

That design really needs a whole line of merch. I’d spend an irresponsible amount to have it on shirts and a car magnet

GNU Terry Pratchett. One is never truly gone while their name is still spoken.

Terry Pratchett was punk rock fantasy
