Yes, and in so doing, payed down their debt.

The online version will remark free and available. The in-person, for credit course is being discontinued. Unless you are an incoming Harvard student, this won’t affect you.

You stop that, my first digital text message was on irc. I’m not ancient yet. :)

You misspelled pencil in this context. I believe you meant “a fuckin’ pencil”.

Your Chiropractor sounds like they’re equally credentialed in thermodynamics as they are in medicine.

Fair enough. So pretty much ‘always war’ fits, no? We’ve been ‘at peace’ as a nation for less time than I’ve been alive and I’m not that old.

Dude that’s awesome if those are real stats. Bravo. Can you further refine to include proxy wars?

You’re correct, it is. But when has Amerika ever not been at war with someone?

We’re all living in Amerika. Coca-Cola. Always war.

Also by design. Tech companies collude like this all the fucking time.

It’s probably the only Distro I’ll use from now to the end of time, because I’m quite content with it.

Or you’ve invested so much time setting it up that you don’t dare abandon it (sunk cost).

I jest but there may be a grain of truth to it anyway. We humans tend to get comfortable with what we know and when we spend so much time installing, configuring and tinkering a system that we use daily, we end up knowing it pretty well.

I like to try a new distro on a personal computer every year or so, just to keep my agility of computing systems nimble. But still I usually end up back to Pop!OS and MacOS. Although that practice did pull me away from Fedora to Pop!

Not really. More of an acquaintance, or maybe a ‘work friend’.

There are several comments ITT that mention the “just works” distros, like Mint or Pop!_OS etc. But make no mistake, these distributions are every bit as powerful as any other distribution. They’re not “dumbed down” versions by any means, it just means that they’ve paid close attention to crafting a polished user experience.

Case in point: I’m a seasoned Linux user and still I prefer Pop!_OS. Some of my even more experienced Linux colleagues use Mint, Fedora, etc. because we’re paid to write code that solves customer problems, not tinker with our operating systems on our workstations. I don’t think I actually know anyone in real life that uses Arch (btw)—is it even a real distro or is it just a meme?—or even Debian (unless it’s for a server and even then we’re more likely to use Alpine and install+configure everything we want and nothing we don’t).

Here in Amuricastan, we don’t need no stinking class to learn how to drive a 3000 pound death missile. A signature, a 70% on a multiple-choice exam, and a cursory vision check (can you see through your eyes) is all we need for our FREEDUM MACHINES. First aid is for sissies.

AeroPress Pop!_OS gang, check in!

I’m training a code and language model to write Linux kernel code and provide snarky comments, of course all based on Linus’s extensive commit history.

Our AI Überherr will be pleased.
