Nobody cares if you have a rifle that fires a different caliber. Selling full auto mod kits is illegal though.

Uh, no. It’s a statement about the ability to modify property and laws relating to that. Not sure who brought up murder.
If I modified a rifle to be full auto, that would be a crime in most countries. That would not, however, mean I didn’t own the rifle.
A terminal is a physical device like a VT100. When people refer to a terminal today it’s almost always a terminal emulator running on a TTY, ssh on a PTY, a login shell or a GUI program.
Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.
There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.
“Axis of evil” was a GWB and Cheney thing. I don’t think Obama ever used the term.
I used to use WindowMaker on seriously underpowered laptops 10-15 years ago. Seems like it’s still just as efficient. For something more standard interface-wise you could try IceWM.
Another thing to do is build your own kernel without any features you don’t use. Not sure how much of a difference that makes exactly.
There is chatroulette.
The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here’s the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you’ll like them too.”
if he somehow turned it into a legitimized escort service, that would be actually useful to society, other than that he would be the one running it so it would be corrupt af and detrimental to society.
it’s every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!
Yep, my parents have a few. Way easier than dealing with them installing windows malware constantly or having to maintain Linux for them.
When PCs started becoming fully mainstream in the late 90s, I thought “finally! people will learn to use them and not act like they’re paralyzed, computer use is nerdy, or like clicking around a GUI is terrifying!”. Alas, nope.
It’s possible to do amazing things with a CLI in seconds that would be minutes of clicking with a GUI - that’s why they still exist. And sure, it’s tuned towards people who would be “how about I write a Python program to handle this”.
Info pages, help and manuals are built into the system and commands. You don’t have to leave the shell to read anything. I’ve also explored it just by pressing a letter or two and then autocomplete. But you realize that average people need help to figure out a GUI too, right?
A car manual is more comparable to learning how to drive in the first place. And yes, sometimes I’ve consulted the manual to figure out what lights mean or how controls work.
“Guessing commands” isn’t the way to go about it. Read the man pages. Read the help for commands. Read a tutorial or some examples.
Sure, that’s an example where we don’t understand the intent of the author.
Sure, and instead of credit cards, the store can just write down on an index card that I owe them $60. Anyway, the idea is a level of automation exceeding what they had in Sumeria 7,000 years ago.
Not charging, but the screen and processors create some heat.
