I've always loved Mace Windu telling someone "your chances come in two sizes: slim and fat" in an old Star Wars Novell called Shatterpoint.

My favorite system message is GRUB's "bailing out, you're on your own. Good luck"

I use "ass hat" and "clusterfuck" regularly.

It's because everything is American politics. There's only two kinds of people in this world: Americans, and Americans who don't yet know they're American. We're just giving the Americans who don't yet know their own little space so they don't annoy us

That's because Elon Musk invented the the X11 windowing system and Richard Stallman stole it from him, clearly.

I remember reading a while ago that there are people who stand up before wiping, and people who wipe before they stand up, and neither camp can fathom how the other does it. This is giving me that same energy.

I'm sure the "fleet" of five dinghies armed with punt guns terrified the shit out of anyone watching.

Because people in power need excuses to hit people they don't like without having to pay weregild for it. That's it, that's the entire purpose of laws. The whole "protecting society" theory is a convenient smokescreen that we've all bought into through generations upon generations of Stockholm syndrome and the fact that we all also want to hit people and be justified in doing so from time to time.

I have a lower-mid tier (Ryzen7 2700 or 2700x, I don't exactly remember right now, Nvidia GTX 1650, 16gigs of RAM,) and I can game just fine at 1080p. Granted I'm not exactly worried about 4K or 666 FPS or whatever the hardcore gamers are into these days, but most games work well with proton and steam. Some even run better through proton than they do in Windows natively.

A: you're wrong, Vim over Emacs every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

B: what's so damned hard about alt+f4, open up Google, spend the next two weeks googling Vim lessons and Vim tutors and reading length articles about vim commands, and then finally coming back to Vim just to type :wq?

I only separate out /home, /boot, and I usually have a separate /steam partition because I have a separate terabyte drive just for games.

What do you mean, "your own country with no fireworks?" Listen, buddy, the whole world celebrates the Fourth of July, when Jesus descended from Heaven to bring freedom l the idea of Freedom and the Constitution to our founding fathers!
