interesting that charcoal is banned but gas is fine. I’ve never had the grease accumulated on the bottom of the grill catch fire on a charcoal grill, but with a gas grill…

then at first day of work:

just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.

Snapdragon X Elite?

Mr. Kernighan explains it nicely I think.

of course

Linux is second nature to us IT people, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows basic shell scripting and how to build programs from git repos.

You don’t have to compile your own kernels you know that right?

WSL2 and windows terminal are ok. I switched to Linux in my previous job back when WSL1 or VMs were the the available choices for doing Linux stuff, but later when people asked if I’d recommend using Linux for their work computer there I’d just say no. IME Linux and Windows were pretty 50/50 on how often things broke down, e.g. updates breaking the shitty fucking VPN app, but with windows you had IT solving that shit for you, with Linux you had to rely on yourself and other Linux desktop users in the company.

When they start getting cold they might start stinging because why not? They’re gonna die anyways.

Bees are like carpenters, they carry a knife but you’re not worried they might stab you for no reason.

Wasps are like meth heads.

This person will never wear Adidas shoes.

I thought those were lines.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen ISO with a US (or UK?) layout.

Are they going to criminalize prime factorization and elliptic curves? Or how do you prevent a group of people from encrypting their messages?

Yes and no. I could hop on to a 50 year old Unix machine and operate it pretty much the way I use my contemporary Linux computer, thanks to the standard Unix tools being both great and ancient.

More and more I get to be the first person in the world with a specific problem, because no one else has used this tech with this environment configuration. Developing a solution is sometimes satisfying, but it’s sometimes hard explaining to the PM / customer why such a seemingly simple thing can take months to implement.

Especially thanks to social media. E.g. there’s a video of the ISS on instagram and the comment section is filled with flat earth people and other crazies.

Where’s the bottle of vodka and lines of amphetamines? From both frames.

Microsoft hides their links if they see you run linux. So you need to manually set your OS in the browser settings to see the download link. Very convenient.

How are you supposed to connect your computer to the modem/router if there's no RJ45 port?
