@RL_Dane Totally agree. Though for my use cases Windows is not needed for compatibility with anything (I'm happy about that!) so Linux is both more practical and more pure for me.

Windows is so bad at a technical level that it actually becomes impractical for me though lol

@RL_Dane Here's something I have come to realize: practicality is part of "perfection". Though BSD may be technically superior to Linux, if Linux "just works" with much more hardware and software than BSD, then for good or bad it is practically superior.
And when it comes down to it, that makes it better for the vast majority of use cases.

@servant That's always nice. I have good feelings in my memory of my family around the firepit outside <3

I'm actually not that good (outside of the living room :) ); I'm a little above a level-8 auto. But I'll see how long I can hang on!

@servant It would be kind of cool tho

@Longplay_Games@mastodon.social I mean it is kind of annoying and questionable, *but* Canonical is a business, it is supposed to try to make more money; this is what happens. One can usually switch to a community-run distro to remove the commercial motivation behind their OS.

@servant Oh that looks so so good 😍

@markusl I don't know if it ships inexpensively to UK buyers, but I have a Watchy and it is pretty nice!

It is Arduino programmable and has {a lot of,potential} features

Let's do a little #obfuscated code #challenge for fun!
What one-liner (in a language of your choice) can you think of that produces the string "unix" on a terminal (an xterm-compatible one, say)?

A simple starter:
puts("clip\bx\run");

@servant That's pretty cool! What room or rooms does it connect with?

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Me too :) I like to have books and screens a little out of my range, and I try to focus on them in hopes of improving my sight a little.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Probably a good way to help prevent nearsightedness. You could sit further back.
