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.

It’s still Daggerfall under the hood right?

But isn’t kindergarten pronounced as kindergarden?

Shutting down their nuclear power plants is probably the worst thing the Germans have done.

where is it a thing? I remember back in the 90’s it was a thing upper class people used to do.

I thought those were lines.

but you could get high as shit on a Vicks inhaler.

Minumum specs lists GTX 970. M1’s GPU seems to be about half as powerful, so it’s probably not going to be very smooth.

sprinkle some crushed palantir crystal to your pipe and you’ll be dancing with the others in no time.

I have seen the original video like 10 times and still can’t remember what she was talking about. I must be demented or something.

Yeah data got unlimited here before texts, which caused people to move on to other things. Now texts are usually unlimited, but that train has already sailed.

Can you for example send a video, encrypted and to your computer via SMS? I don’t know how much tech they’ve built over the protocol over in the US, but in many parts of the world SMS was charged per message in your phone bill and things like photos or video cost more to send. People abandoned SMS quickly when 3rd party IP messaging apps like whatsapp came out.

I thought the bit in the north was a part of another country?

Even the choice of colour was an interesting one. “Should we make our submersible brightly coloured like every other submersible in the world? In case we are stuck floating barely above the surface of the ocean, literally bolted shut inside this tube?” “Nah, let’s do white and grey, looks more modern.”

I’ve heard people in the US still use SMS to communicate with eachother. Fucking crazy.

6 month of work just sitting thete getting eaten away by inflation doesn’t spund smart. Either invest that shit or boof that shit while getting your dick sucked.
