I don’t really rate zsh personally. I find the additional features/syntactic sugar it adds are a poor tradeoff for lower portability. I also end up changing the settings in my zshrc to make it behave more like bash.

Extinction Rebellion would be the famous example of a group that has publically distanced themselves from JSO’s methods. They believe in protest but simultaneously are wary of alienating people by taking their stunts too far.

Actually I had a friend from uni who was in XR and he helped organise a protest at Canning Town tube station where they clambered ontop of the train in rush hour to try to stop it. He was saying later that he thought they probably made a bad call picking that specific part of the city.

Stephen Fry the comedian/tv presenter is also a huge linux advocate. Specifically Ubuntu. He’s been using it for decades at this point.

It’s a dumb copypasta

I disagree with their evaluation of the magnitude of climate change catastrophe affecting our lives. There isn’t going to be a Day After Tomorrow “extinction event”. Instead climate change is more insidious and will initially affect people who do not live in the West (as it is already doing). We are going to have global crises due to climate change but it’s not going to be on the same level as, say, a Mutually Assured Destruction scenario with nuclear weapons.

They have also failed to convince the majority of the rest of the public that it will be an ‘extinction event’. Since democracy has not got the result they want they are pursuing anti-democratic means of forcing their agenda onto news segments with stunts that poison the well for other - less extreme - climate change activists.

This group undermine and delegitimise other climate activist groups by association

If you want to experience travelling back in time with an operating system then OpenBSD feels like a time capsule, albeit one which is still being maintained. I realise it is not linux but using it is very similar to what linux was like before 2010.

I think the LARP elements of this distro put me off trying it back in the day. Calling the package manager a “Grimoire” and having to “cast” packages to install them was just too much for me.

Agree, it’s literally all I need for my browser in terms of add-ons. NoScript is nice to have but not essential.

I thought the base game was a flawed gem. Should say that I’m a big Symphony of the Night fan though.

In my opinion the intermediate stuff on windows is just as conceptually complex but presented with nested GUIs. People internalise that complexity out of familiarity.

Windows -> MacOS -> Windows -> Ubuntu (2012) -> Arch (2013) -> Gentoo (2016)

Gentoo cured my distrohopping

I used scoop as my package manager on windows. It even lets you install gnu coreutils like ls, cat and find to run in powershell.

I think the best case scenario is that some eccentric guy thinks he is being a legend by continuing the tradition of the shrub magazines that he enjoyed as a kid. That’s still pretty weird imo… however I was born in 93 and missed this phenomenon completely.

The article I read today about a young dude who made money banging his 60 year old gf on onlyfans definitely read like one. The article didn’t even get their ages consistent throughout.

Yes, but that newspaper is writing satrical (?) content. “Find the bastard that shat down my chimney”, “I’m 62 and my parents STILL haven’t told me if I am a boy or a girl”, etc.

That’s excellent - where were you when the headline writers needed you?

Emacs is the only app you’ll ever need once you’ve mastered it.
