Found the apple fanboy

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I used FreeBSD before I used Linux. It was still really complicated to set up at the time. I can’t speak to modern versions. I also used openbsd more recently to make a router out of a sun ultra 5 I trash picked. Learning pf and seeing up a router all by hand was a good learning experience. Then the hd crashed and I didn’t have a backup of my configs. I didn’t have enough ambition to start from scratch, and there are plenty of modern distros that are ready made routers.

I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Terrible GUI? Microsoft can’t even keep their print dialog consistent across their own programs, let alone dealing with different dialog boxes across third party software.

I agree on the package manager. I got so used to rpm style from SuSE that I have a hard time with Debian based systems.

That’s a weird way to spell Vim, Arch, and C

It’s worth reading the whole series of you’re interested. They aren’t awesome, but they are fairly quick reads, and the way he resolves the story is interesting.

I once ran a campaign based on Fred Saberhagen’s books of swords. I’m the books there are twelve swords that would be considered greater artifacts. One of my players was playing a pacifist. He picked up the sword called Townsaver while his village was being invaded. Anyone who has read the books knows this same situation happens right at the beginning of the series. The sword takes over, because it’s power is to force anyone who holds it to protect unarmed innocents. He proceeded to slaughter the invading force. He was devastated.

I didn’t work there. I was a customer. I didn’t know what they were using. I didn’t recognize the interface, I just barely know enough about databases to recognize that’s what he was doing.

The salesman I was dealing with seemed to have no trouble using it, but all he was doing was using a web browser and some database access.

When I was at Driver’s Village, a fairly large dealership in central New York, I noticed the salesman was using a computer with wallpaper that said Windows 11. This was before Windows 11 was even released. It was very obviously a Gnome desktop. I’m guessing IT just put the windows 11 background on it so the people using it wouldn’t complain that they didn’t know how to use Linux.

It switches to $3.99 when I put it in my cart.

I down voted you, and that doesn’t make you right. It’s because you are annoying, and moronic.

It’s really hard to refute willful stupidity. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

Hook. I can still quote most of it from memory.

Maybe SeveNeveS

Anathem is my personal favorite. One of the very few books I’ve read multiple times.

But they said a rising tide lifts all boats. Were we lied to?

I hate those fucking stools. I swear they were invented to be so uncomfortable that once you’ve choked down that mediocre overpriced burger you want to leave as soon as possible because your ass hurts.
