$ORIGIN (or equivalently ${ORIGIN}) This expands to the directory containing the program or shared object. Thus, an application located in somedir/app could be compiled with

gcc -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN/../lib'

so that it finds an associated shared object in somedir/lib no matter where somedir is located in the directory hierarchy. This facilitates the creation of “turn-key” applications that do not need to be installed into special directories, but can instead be unpacked into any directory and still find their own shared objects.

If you have the time to watch the episode with a transgender person, I’d be interested to hear how you felt about that.

I agree the fascists need to be defeated. I think the value in this project is that it would allow people on the other side to see that we’re all on the same team when it comes to the fight against fascism.
