BLAG Fortune

This is my repository for my ongoing project to have English language political fortunes in BLAG.

Requirements

All you need is fortune mod. On Debian-based systems:

$ sudo apt-get install fortune-mod

Installation

To install:

$ sudo make install distro=debian

To uninstall:

$ sudo make uninstall distro=debian

Where distro=debian should be replaced with your distribution's name. For example, on Fedora say distro=fedora.

For supported distribution options, look here.

Running

To run the program, simply say

$ fortune anarchism When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called "the People's Stick." ----+- Mikhail Bakunin -+----

Here is a more whimsical example:

$ fortune anarchism | cowsay _________________________________________ / Whosoever lays a hand on me in order to \ | govern me is a usurper and a tyrant; I | | declare him my enemy. | | | \ ----+- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon -+---- / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||

Show fortunes on Bash startup

I want to see fortunes when my terminal starts, as in BLAG 140000!

To do this quickly, enter the following command:

$ echo -e "

fortune -s anarchism

echo" >> $HOME/.bashrc

To disable the fortunes, remove these lines from $HOME/.bashrc:

fortune -s anarchism echo
