Unless you tell it to. "Make this sound like a human with terrible grammar."

Kinda just seems like arguing because you have nothing better to do.

When we don't have Windows or Mac users to feel superior against, we will invent issues amongst ourselves.

Hang it out the back unsecured and then lose it and shatter it into a million pieces all along the highway like my old boss did to a fiberglass ladder.

TimeSquirrel, (edited ) to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

I was trying to run a forum in the early 2000s and was pirating Windows Server with IIS to do it, and I discovered this entire other free, legit OS to do what I wanted to do with ease. Back in those days you could install a "LAMP" stack during install which gave you Apache, MySQL, and PHP automatically configured, whereas in IIS I was having to install a seperate PHP interpreter and figure out how to send php scripts to it and back, the whole thing seemed janky.

After that Linux became my go-to for any IT related project, and even more so when I started my electronics hobby due to how you can just make it do any damn thing you want.

In 2020 it became my desktop permanently after Microsoft decided they didn't want their OS running on my perfectly fine computer anymore.

This is why I ask the Fediverse for home improvement tips first. Y'all will never steer me wrong. Plus my electrical breaker box doubles as a nice little space heater now, it's so warm!

food of the peasants

The ignorant peasants, yes. I can feed myself for two whole days off the price of a McDonald's combo meal these days.

Something about Linux users already being at a disadvantage.

Old Tiny Toons and Sonic the Hedgehog watching from their rocking chairs: "We're proud of y'all."

TimeSquirrel, (edited ) to linux in Any experience with teaching kids Linux?
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

With my kid, he just gets on Steam and starts doing his thing with his friends like everybody else as if he was on Windows. It makes no difference to him. I figure I'd let him learn the same way I learned computers, by just standing back and letting him poke and prod around and giving assistance and guidance when necessary. He can't break anything important.

other than a disk

These days, they are probably not even going to answer with that. Optical media is almost dead now.

This is me, just getting shit done. If you are constantly thinking about what OS you're using, you're doing it wrong.

@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

Not that I'm a proponent of it or anything, but people were saying the exact same thing ten years ago after the first big bubble. I don't think it's going anywhere. There's too much greed in the world, and it's too enticing. At this point you might as well be a nun trying to get porn banned worldwide.

You're doing it wrong. You gotta place a metal sphere close to it connected to a Van de Graaff generator.

That was a Lite Brite. I know the 80s and 90s are fuzzy distant memories, it's easy to get confused.
