My suggestions:

1. start with whatever distro you think looks cool. It doesn’t matter. Obv don’t start with one that has a reputation for being challenging, like Arch or Gentoo. Personally I started on Ubuntu, but that was 15 years ago. If I were to start today, I’d probably start on Mint? Maybe Endeavouros? Idk. Check distrowatch if you want to know what’s out there.

2. No matter what you choose, you, like everyone else, will end up trying all the big ones at some point. It’s fun. You’re not getting married, it’s just a place to start.

3. take it slow. You don’t need to switch all at once, and it’s probably bad if you do. Linux takes work sometimes, and there’s not always warning when trusts going to happen. So have a fallback, something stable you can use when you just don’t have time to fix things. I still use Windows for video games (mainly because Bill Gates is a piece of shit who did and still does everything he can to destroy knowledge sharing and open source).

4. To exit Vim, hit escape a few times and then type :q enter.

5. alternatively, don’t exit Vim. You shouldn’t need to. It’s all you need, not just in computing, but in life.

I’ve started writing little articles recently and I’ve been using Medium. Is there a better site I should be posting them on?

So you’re saying you want a federated wiki that uses a blockchain??? Genius.

Kidding aside, you’re absolutely right. Wikipedia is one of the very few if not ONLY examples of centralized tech that ISN’T absolute toxic garbage. Is it perfect? No. From what I understand, humans are involved in it, so, no, it’s not perfect.

If you want to federate some big ol toxic shit hole, Amazon, Netflix, any of Google’s many spywares – there’s loads of way more shitty things we would benefit from ditching.

Edit: the “federated Netflix” – I know it sounds weird, but I actually think it would be really cool. Think of it more like Nebula+YouTube: “anyone” (anyone federated with other instances) can “upload” videos, and subcription fees go mostly to the creator with a little going to The Federation. Idk the payment details, that would be hard, but no one said beating Netflix would be easy.

And federated Amazon – that seems like fish in a barrel, or low hanging fruit, whichever you prefer. Complicated and probably a lot more overhead, but not conceptually challenging.

Yeah I was thinking more of a paid service, I guess more like Nebula then Netflix, since Netflix just shows TV shows and movies made by big companies. I don’t mind paying for things if they’re good things, and I know the right people are getting the money for it.

Imo they’ll add typing to vanilla js, which will kill ts.

I hear this complaint all the time and you people just don’t get it. The existing inter-georgian transportation network employs hundreds of thousands of people, and you want to just put them all out of work?

Non-georgians just don’t understand that a 34 hour commute is very normal and just fine and we don’t need your fancy “tunnel” to shorten it.

Look at the Cross-Carolinian Expressway (CCE) that was initiated last year. It won’t be done until 2177 but it will shorten the trip from North Carolina to South Carolina to a mere 17 hours. Until then, they still go around the horn of Africa to make that trip, seeing 77% of the known world. Pretty soon none of those Carolinian kids will know the feel of the sea air on their skin.

And yeah, obviously the Inter-Georgian Tunnel would be a feat of engineering on the level of the Bama Skyway, connecting Alabama and Myanmar (look it up), or the Alexandria Rail Network which connects every city on earth named Alexandria. But any real engineer will tell you that engineering for the sake of engineering isn’t engineering at all.

But you guys can post your propaganda all you want. We all know that the Anti Absurdist Infrastructure Association (AAIA) has been emboldened by their recent “success” against the Des Moines Highway (connecting Des Moines, Iowa with Des Moines, Iowa, the long way around) and shutting down the Moonshot Committee, who had well over 17 plans in the works for roads to the moon in progress with municipalities all over there country, until AAIA got wind of it.

Good luck.

If you like to upload your own music (like Google music), iBroadcast is the tippy tops. You can still use bandcamp (with or without yt-dlp) for discovery, and then upload what you like to iBroadcast.

Serious talk now, everyone. Jokers step aside for a moment.

If you’re broke, and don’t mind fleecing sovcits, you can make yourself a website with made up credentials, degrees, and publications. Then, you respond to posts like that with extremely confident affirmations.

Yes, absolutely you can. The thing is, because the original Ancient Tablet law structure was never explicitly repealed, it has been used successfully in court in the USA and Australia to have suspended licenses purged from the database (any fines you may have remaining will be eliminated as well). See federal cases US vs Leewater, US vs Washington Johnson, and US vs Phil, Gill, and Jill.

If you don’t have the forms and such I’d be happy to help out, email me at john@veryrealdomain.com

THREADNECRO. In my experience, middle managers and direct managers prefer employees they can keep an eye on, so “global” employees are difficult for them – and they’re closer to the hiring than the higher ups who only want to reduce costs.

Since there’s one open source that’s more strict and one that’s more permissive, for the more strict one, we should indicate that it’s like the value of a variable: it has a specific meaning that doesn’t change. With that understanding, Rogue Legacy is open source, but Trisquel is “open source”.

(I was going to go with Tux Kart instead of Trisquel for that joke, but my heart couldn’t handle throwing shade at Tux Kart.)

Edit: I’d just like to interject for a moment. What I’m referring to as Tux Kart, is in fact, SuperTuxKart, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Super+TuxKart
