History
Muhammad XII, the last Moorish Sultan of Granada, and his court are said to have crossed this Alpujarras pass after being ejected from Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. Its name comes from the moment when he loudly sighed while looking back and longing for his Granada palaces, and in particular the Alhambra, an act which reportedly moved his mother Aisha to whip him, giving the famous quip "Yora,yora como mujer,lo que no supiste defender como hombre / Weep,weep like a woman,for that which you will not defend as a man."
gollark: I basically want to make the shell run programs from `/bin` and `require` use `/lib` without the hacks potatOS employs.
gollark: Anyone know how to add extra paths to `require`?
gollark: Again, it wouldn't actually be an OS.
gollark: What would you want included then? Node, skynet, the PotatOS screensavers…?
gollark: I guess what you'd want is just a collection of programs/libraries plus autoupdate?
