[ minsay ]

A partially satirical fortune+cowsay clone featuring quotes from the area of UNIX-hacker culture nihilism

>> WHY? >>

The modern UNIXoids are unaware of the majestic beauty of digital nihilism.

This philosophy is being written off by normies who are unaware of the humongous amounts of corporate representation in modern software and how much of an impact it actually makes.

I used to be one of the one of the deniers in the past, but that was before I found enlightenment and started cherishing it.

>> WHAT? >>

This is a program that emulates the behaviour of running fortune | cowsay in your terminal, except with a hardcoded quote database.

The only good part of this program are the quotes, which were gathered from various sources including, but not limited to:

• About pages of various software
• Cat-v.org
• Lobsters
• Random blogposts
• Reddit
• The UNIX-HATERS Handbook

And, yes, the program is itself an oxymoron: it shits on the very language that it was written in. {Un,}fortunately, it doesn't have enough external dependencies to call itself "blazingly fast".
