I will not go!

But now it’s supposedly because I’m old and not because kids are fucking stupid.

As the saying goes, two things can be true! 😆

Source: Am old, and but I’ve thought kids are stupid since I was a kid, myself.

Uh…I would pre-order that, actually. That sounds amazing.

All joking aside, the pissed off whale is a great character, and its story beats land as solidly as its angry attacks.

The studio execs are reading along and thinking, “at 2 billion each, you bet I will!”

Dang. Wow. Yeah.

At first I was trying to figure out why someone felt the need to Photoshop out their arm.

“Ned betrayed our trust. We will strike all memory of his arm from our photo album.”

That’s right.

But only because “Vim vs Emacs” is a technically a religious holy war.

why must they all be foreign memes from the Americas?

We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.

Also, we’re desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.

I learned that lesson on a Snorlax, and so I have not thrown a Masterball since. Sure, I’ve got a complete Pokedex, and this appears to be a perfect stats shiny legendary, but that’s no reason for me to waste a Masterball.

I have a Snorlax in a Masterball somewhere, and I can attest - it also felt bad to get to Zapdos and try to use “REST” to make up for not having a Masterball. Lol.

The Ctrl+W salute!

First: Linux is the street racing scene of the PC world. You can customize everything, and it’s going to be faster and more responsive. Also if someone just wants to build a really cool custom experience, there’s very cool stuff possibld do on Windows, but that road eventually leads to Linux.

Second: Linux is the long haul huge truck engine of the Internet. Big data processing only runs on Linux*. I’ve met one Windows supercomputer and one Mac supercomputer. Both are long retired now.

*The interesting exception to this is payments processing, which has a lot of Windows and Mainframe still. But while that workload is big, it’s dwarfed by the Internet backbone and supercomputer jobs that run on Linux.

Something like 99.9% of the Internet now runs on Linux.**

**Please no one reply to me about your .Net shop. I’ve worked at them too, but they’re a substantial minority now, and they still mostly deploy to Azure which is mostly running Linux.

Third: Free stuff. Most open source software is written for Linux, and only ported to Windows after it gets really popular. So on Linux, your options for good free software are much nicer.

I feel the same. But it’s kinda funny, beacuse I do gladly join Patreon’s to support developers and artists I appreciate.

I think it’s a principles purchase for a lot of folks. That’s money Reddit could have had if it had not gone full asshole.

I’m planning to join the relevant Patreon for my preferred FOSS app, myself. And I think it’s cool to see folks willing to use $20 to announce what kind of Internet they want, however they do it.
