I remember stepping on a rusty nail as a kid, and I noticed that a plank of wood was stuck to my foot before I even registered how much pain I was in.

Never noticed the hotdog in the background before.

I used to think so, then I just started using them on the reg and it turns out to be super easy.

It’s just a pan.

Bikeshedding by any other name…

Even then they would only become rich from the idea by skimming wages off of the people actually implementing and distributing it.

Nevermind all of the support that goes into a discovery like that. Like look at all the work that went into recent miracle discovery the mRNA vaccine.

*Chnk* oh hell ya here comes the water

I just use my knuckles, maybe even with my sleeve or shirt covering them.

Really it seems like it was the media that went into overdrive on this one.

Yeah I like the idea of an “starter” distros for parents, but then rolling packages would probably be easier for when I need to do tech support

Rofl good catch

Saw a canister of alive oil going for almost $50 the other day, tsk

What’s a good parent distro in your opinion? I’ve been eyeing Mint since that’s how I started

Hah, sometimes I forget how to spell a word but my fingers still remember it

Double click then middle click gang.

Watching anyone else’s terminal flow is my personal hell.

But then when you do find someone else who gets it and you start swapping runcoms it’s like the most beautiful thing.

But honestly if you’re happy with your current workflow then that’s fair

DUDE IT’S CALLED A STICKY NOTE

Even if they were half as fast, it’s so much more satisfying when you use all your fingers.

I remember day I started actually using my right pinky finger to press the semicolon. That’s when I became a real man.

Over the years I’ve become accustomed to a highly customised, privacy centric, keyboard-driven workflow that makes heavy use of tiling and modality.

I’m also “the technical one” in my family and friend group…

So when people sit me down in front of their bloated, ad-powered, AI “enhanced,” stock laptops, and ask me to, essentially spend an hour learning about an obscure Windows problem space, then debugging and implementing the fix, I don’t blame them for not realising the pain they cause me.

Let them spend some time in the freezer. There’s still a chance they could be used in pancakes or dog biscuits…
