“When I was their age, a car meant freedom. It meant you could take yourself to a place your friends were and your parents weren’t, anytime you wanted. To them, the Internet means freedom, and they don’t really see the point.”
Every couple of years I think to myself “You know, I can’t actually remember why I don’t like Ubuntu. It must have just been some weird one-off thing that soured me on it last time. Besides, I’ve got N more years of Linux experience under my belt, so I know how to avoid sticky situations with apt, and they’ve had N more years to make their OS more user friendly! I pride myself on not holding grudges, and if this distro still gets recommended to newbies, how bad can it possibly be, especially for someone with my level of expertise?”
The problem is the fact that the documentation exists solely as a series of what are effectively chat messages, not what platform those chat messages are hosted on. Markdown files or bust.
also no shame if so, just want to confirm, but with short paragraphs, simple plot, odd word choice, and minor factual errors (“vi lacked the basic functionality that emacs provided”), this story reads suspiciously like ChatGPT wrote it. is that right?
