MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)
Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)
First hard drive Linux: Debian.
Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.
Or how Batman stole kryptonite from Lex Luthor in the storytelling masterpiece “Batman v Superman” by auteur director Zach Snyder.
Haha funny name, but let’s see how much traction it will get.
Every time the sun rises he lifts 1 boulder.
It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.
So show me something else. Or I’ll boo.
Existing established open source projects? Basically never.
My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.
The South playing the long game.
Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I’ve been very happy with Debian (Sid).
Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don’t have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don’t need a $2000 top of the line phone.
An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I’m probably going to call opulence.
Lol all my fridge has is some condiments.
The point I was trying to make is you can choose the mood (or the mindset) with which to face your current circumstances.
Either what you face is a situation or a problem. By definition a problem has a solution and a situation does not. If it’s a problem (there is a solution) you work on the solution. If it is a situation (there is no solution) you can’t change it, so just accept it and move on.
I find that I get joy everyday from the little things - tasty food, good company and nature. I don’t let the big things dictate my mood.
Life is what you pretend it is. A study found that a year after a life changing event (losing a limb/winning a lottery) most people were not any more or less sad.
You can consider that you are a forgotten one of billions of on a tiny speck of rock lost in the vast swathes of space-time and so nothing you do matters.
Or you can consider that all that space-time and other stuff has about as much influence on your life as your life has on it and choose to ignore it and enjoy the life you have free of consequences.
Or anything in between.
The only constant is that life is short. What do you want to do with your limited time?
I didn’t mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.
That’s just the world we live in.
I’m thinking of buying a Thinkpad w530 for such “geriatric” tasks
Late-stage capitalism is hardly all on his shoulders.
“Bleeding long term hires” are reading the tea leaves. Better to get a new job when you have one, finding a job when you need it is much harder.
Talking about tech startups:
Depends on the startup. If they have a good team, they might get acqui-hired. If they have any patents or other IP, they might get acquired (for not much). Investors get the bulk of these types of exits, and the founders and employees get screwed.
If the startup doesn’t even have that, they may just wrap up the operation and go out of business.
I never figured out why, but I couldn’t get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I’ve been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.
Death has seen way worse, if my stint as a paramedic is anything to go by.
