@b0rk OMG this illustration is SO clever!

@b0rk
Has this been approved by The Elders of the Internet?

The reason this zine is called "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is that I learned more useful things while writing this zine than when writing any other zine, even though I've been using the terminal every day for 20 years.

It really left me feeling like the terminal is full of hidden secrets -- because "the terminal" is made up of so many different pieces, there's no single terminal manual you can read!

Here's the table of contents (which as a bonus shows the components of the terminal!)

@b0rk congrats on launch! I love how many zines you've made. zines are the best (this is pam btw from cegep)

@b0rk instant buy decision! Amazing work!

@b0rk Yay just bought mine!

@b0rk Cool cover! The middle woman looks a lot like Franka:

@b0rk we need more of this cover’s energy in the world

@b0rk Does this solidly Canadian product have a bulk rate for meetups and conferences? Asking for a friend. 😃

@b0rk ordered - excited for the print!

@b0rk Wow, this looks great, & it's probably exactly what I need! I'm an old codger who's been using Linux for years, but limited to GUI. Now there's a program that I want mucho, but its package isn't in my distro's repositories. Tried "winging it" via the terminal, but no joy and I don't know why. I think you may just have saved the day! Ordering the zine asap! Many thanks!

@b0rk as a real nerd I prefer plain text documents …

@b0rk Ordered!

@b0rk the table of contents is sort of short... how many pages is the publication actually?

@b0rk Just bought / discovered this zine, a delightful moment for me who is at best an occasional terminal user. It will help preventing me from procrastinating myself away from the terminal. An instant buy and a steal at $12.

@b0rk all of those Zines look great! Will order the printed ones once I moved :)

@b0rk this is the best $12 I've spent this month

@b0rk just bought this - looks excellent. Can't wait to have a thumb through this evening.

@b0rk
Congratulations! Proud to be a small part of this as a beta reader. Will order a print for my collection.

@b0rk I don't know if this code is from you or from the platform, but it has made my day.

@b0rk best cheatsheets

@b0rk Wow love the format!

@WordCampCanada very happy to set something up for you! just email support@wizardzines.com

@blueberryjams aw nice to see you on here!

@b0rk purchased. Thank you for your hard work on this!

@b0rk it looks so cool 😎

@b0rk I plan in the next few months to resume working on my Terminedia ASCII art/ Terminal framework.

I feel confident the information in this zine will teach me a lot and allow me to include some nice features and behaviors there

@mjd the illustrator (Vladimir) is SO good, often he puts in fun little touches that even I miss until much later

@b0rk @mjd out of curiosity, did you only "outsource" the cover or do you have all your drawings done by (other) professionals? Can you share details of Vladimir, is he available for other projects too? I like your work and this cover is also amazing.

@b0rk It reminds me of Gary Overacre's “Unix Magic” poster. https://archive.org/details/unix-magic-poster-gary-overcare-1

@mjd that was definitely an inspiration

@svenk @mjd yeah I draw everything except the cover (though often with a lot of help from Marie https://marieflanagan.com/)
