Being the guy who had to feed the whole 32 floppy disk stack to the wretched PC every time the user broke the Windows 95 installation pushed me to the *nix camp quite early, I can tell you that.

Each floppy had a good 10% chance of being faulty, so imagine the fun.

I saw the trailer. I’m down for some sword fighting, horse riding, dragon riding. What throws me off is the train. Why is there a train there?

Dishonored.

I’m having a lot of fun sneaking around.

Dishonored.

Same, fun but crashed a lot.

Please, do elaborate.

Also avoid handling black holes without appropriate protection.

It’s not going away. The cat is out of the bag.

As with any tool it has its use cases. It’s not a good fit for everything. You can drive a screw with a hammer but a screwdriver works best.

We’re experiencing the capitalist euphoria that happens when something new comes along. This needs to get regulated into submission like all the previous bubbles.

I’m still waiting, Gabe. No pressure. You do your thing.

I’ve been using the “select copy + middle click paste” since the late 90s.

I find it useful for simple intra-document editing because you’re just using the mouse, no need to reach for the keyboard.

It can be combined with the traditional copy/paste, say you have your password in the clipboard but you need to also copy some part of a long ssh command. You can have both and paste them on the command line one after the other.

I know I’m a minority and this will eventually be dropped because it’s too confusing for the end users, man.

Yes, I get it. But I’ll miss it.

The amounts of copium that Windows users are willing to swallow to avoid changing are reaching stratospheric levels. Inertia is one hell of a drug.

Mr. T.

My 73 year old mother never had a computer before when she asked me for one, so she could talk online with her friends.

I installed Xubuntu and it has been working wonderfully for her. She just browses the web, types some poems using Libre Office and plays solitaire.

I just have to do a system update every year or so.

She’s now 87.

If you played around with local small LLMs you know that it still needs a few hundred megs at least.

I don’t really care about the space, I just don’t want it in my systems.
