Just pasted a string in all-caps into vim because I needed to lowercase like 3 words.
Am I becoming too lazy? (the shell was already open, but I had to start vim)
Given it’s international women’s day, I’d like to encourage you all, but especially Dutch men to read these ‘anti-acknowledgments’ in a PhD thesis. This is not from somewhere else, it’s from Delft. And it’s not from the 1950s, but from the present. Unfortunately what academic life and culture in The Netherlands is still like.

I am very jealous of people who manage to keep their filesystems organized over the years.
I am in the progress of migrating from a 5y old system and... wow. If it was only the "current" files, ok - but there's multiple generations of stuff that was already copied over from old machines, backups "just in case" and so on. The only silver lining is that it's not a lot in GB, overall.

In re revealing personal details here: the largest reason this account has my name on it is that for me, that ship sailed years ago, back when the Internet was a much smaller and different place, and I lack the energy to start over from complete scratch with a disconnected identity. And there are plenty of things I don't talk about here. I encourage everyone starting now to learn from the past and just be a cat (or a dog or etc).
