@npub1ks7…eg5u My grandma met my granpa when he was in Morgan's Fly Lab and she was an illustrator there.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 Reading man(1) pages is a baseline skill for any reasonable professional working with Linux or Unix. Extra points if you km what the number in () in the previous sentence is.

@npub1su4…a0dw Very interesting read. The last privacy law passed in the USA was the Video Privacy Protection act in 1988. It made it illegal for video store clerks to reveal your rental history. The idea that congress or anyone else will move to protect US citizens' data in the near future is amusing.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 Still happy with my Teracube 1 ( 2022 or so). The new model has a removeable battery, a feature of my last phone I sorely miss. But alas, no separate charger as of yet.

@npub1zle…38k8 Oof. Full-face masks scare me. A base-line skill in SCUBA is to remove, replace, and clear your mask underwater. A full-face mask makes this exponentially more dangerous and difficult.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 CLI all the way. I had coworkers who used the GUI, and they were always struggling to correct commit or push errors. Hiding the commands behind an opaque GUI turned out to be a poor choice.

@npub1su4…a0dw Love my 2008 Stick. Every time I think about replacing it I remember that all the latest cars are stuffed with surveillance tech. In theory you can disable it but that looks like a huge PITA.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 On a complete side note, I play a Real Musical Instrument that will still work when the lights go out. Some of my peers will stop making music when that happens, 'cause their tools will stop working.

@npub1ept…jcl3 Maybe you need a Framework. Runs Ubuntu well, and the hardware is repairable.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 A lovely Sanyo 555 with dual floppy drives. Compiling a C program took three floppy swaps. I mostly wrote 8088 assembly on it. The editor, assembler, and linker could all fit on one drive.
