Unix update: my rm is problematic

Oops!

Your 'rm' program seems unable to run without file operands specified
on the command line, even when the '-f' option is present. This is contrary
to the behaviour of most rm programs out there, and not conforming with
the upcoming POSIX standard: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>

Please tell bug-automake@gnu.org about your system, including the value
of your $PATH and any error possibly output before this message. This
can help us improve future automake versions.

Aborting the configuration process, to ensure you take notice of the issue.

You can download and install GNU coreutils to get an 'rm' implementation
that behaves properly: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>.

If you want to complete the configuration process using your problematic
'rm' anyway, export the environment variable ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM
to "yes", and re-run configure.

configure: error: Your 'rm' program is bad, sorry.

The AFGIS library headers aren't anywhere I was able to find so I ended up kiiiiinda writing my own set of headers based on the manual and some display list manipulation stuff that can build lists and send them to the coprocessor from a 68000

oh, so the troops are now personally loyal to trump and he wants them to shoot everyone huh

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Remember when Trump put his name on the checks

Katherine the Sixth @luigithirty.bsky.social · 13h

the Dems put a bill up in Congress to do that but Johnson wouldn't do anything, so Trump gets to do it himself instead and get credit for it
