“There are two types of people: those who back up and those who haven’t lost data … yet.”

aimed at beginners who confuse “hasn’t been updated for a year” with “hasn’t needed to be updated for a year”

once you have some experience under your belt, these are non-issues:

• deciding to “learn Linux” the hard way by starting with a specialized distro (Slackware, Gentoo, Alpine)
• switching to unstable or testing branches before you’re ready ’cause you want bleeding edge or “stable is too far behind”
• playing around with third-party repositories before understanding them (PPAs in Ubuntu, AUR in Arch)
• bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh)
• changing apps for no other reason than “it hasn’t been updated for a year”

as was foretold in the sacred prophecies of Stargate

“I want to be rich enough to not think twice about extra guac.”

cell phone providers can, they just won’t (would eat into their profits)

and most of the home internet sold as “unlimited” was a scam – if you started to get too close to some hidden value, they would start throttling your connection

the cherry on top: regardless of who’s at fault, the cyclist gets blamed

need to educate drivers

this is one of the big ones that shows up in our car-centric worldview – just sticking to motorized vehicles: truck drivers are expected to know truck rules, car rules, and motorcycle rules – motorcyclists are expected to know motorcycling rules, car rules, and truck rules – car drivers are expected to know car rules and that’s it

when the majority of our population doesn’t know about (and subsequently doesn’t care about) anything else sharing the road with them … car drivers that are just as aggressive towards motorcyclists as they are towards bicyclists, car drivers are completely oblivious to stopping distances and momentum of big rigs …

considering how much Finland loves rally racing …

only for the low! low! price of a PhD in Hegelian philosophy

’80s (new wave, synthpop, post punk) – unadulterated nostalgia

“We don’t search for old songs,
we search for old memories.”

• the cool kids use Sourcehut
• I use Codeberg

comparing a distro release to a new game release

• pay a LinuxGem each time you open a terminal
• Flatpak is only available as a paid DLC
• use your LinuxGems to purchase randomized LootContainers with a chance of winning a Jellyfin install

(Chris Titus Tech getting blowback last year marking a whole group of distros as “Pointless” when they did nothing more than a reskin or pre-install a couple in-repo packages)

why have menus covering stuff up when you can just use keybinds?
