Her character in the Waterboy was it for me.

I'll buy that for a dollar.

About 20 years ago I worked at K-Mart in California. They had Propane forklifts. It was a big K-Mart. We had two!

RayGun is still the GOAT.

It's becoming impossible to monitor. I have 5G Broadband Internet and I share a public IP address with everyone in my area. I look at https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com and it shows thousands of torrents that my neighbors have pulled downloaded.

I opened my first Gmail account during the private beta (2004). It's not my daily driver account, but I still use it for government stuff like taxes and healthcare. It kinda blows my mind that it's 20 years old.

Immutable and Declarative OS design is simply an option. I think it's a damn good one, but right now, it's not for me. That could easily change in the near future.

The idea excites me. A potential hardened OS that user-friendly could be a great option for Business and Academic computing.

Punching yourself in the face is only free if you can afford the medical bills.

That one was so great!

This got real Tim Apple vibes with a dash of racism.

This kinda checks out. I know more than 15 people, and I know a few millionaires. You probably do too, just it's usually their wealth is in the form of a house.

This idea that public transit is more dangerous is completely inaccurate. 330 traffic fatalities in 2023 in LA. That's almost 1 day.

 

Installing is easy just add:

alias updog="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y"

to your .bashrc or .zshrc

 

Hey, just, uh, wanted to clear the air a bit. You know when you're saying "Linux," what you're probably referring to is what some folks call "GNU plus Linux," if you really want to get into the weeds of it. But don't sweat it, alright? I'm not here to be a buzzkill or anything.

See, what we call "Linux" is actually just a part of the whole thing, man. It's the kernel, the core, the... engine, you could say, of the operating system. But the GNU stuff, that's the body of the car, the seats, the steering wheel. You need both to take a drive, you know?

But look, it's not a big deal. We're all just trying to get from point A to point B, right? So, whether you're saying "Linux" or "GNU plus Linux", it doesn't change the journey. It's just semantics.

Sure, I get it. Richard Stallman and the gang over at the Free Software Foundation, they put in a lot of effort into the GNU software, and I respect that. But sometimes you gotta go with the flow, man. And right now, that flow is "Linux". It's simpler, it's what people know, and frankly, it's the Linux kernel that's making the whole thing work in the first place.

So next time you want to get technical, feel free to drop a "GNU plus Linux". Stallman would probably give you a nod of approval. But if you're just chilling out, hanging back, and you say "Linux"... well, it's all good, man. Linux is just Linux. And there's nothing wrong with that.
