I have been thinking that I will sell my Laptop, Dekstop, extra phone, 3 tablets, 6 RAM sticks, other laptop, extra router, and a number of other items, and buy one laptop to rule them all.

This one:
system76.com/laptops/galago

Does that sound like a smart decision?

@bleakgrey Hahaha! I couldn't do the eOS thing anymore. I have tried and tried. But now I just installed all of the Vala things in Slackware instead and use XFCE. I really like XFCE.... don't shoot me please. :D

Nevermind... it's all installed now, but UEFI fracked me. I can't get it to friggin' boot!

I have finally discovered the secret to installing on my m.2 drive. It was silly... after cfdisk, just type /dev/nvme0n1 and bada bing! Why have I been so silly my whole life? I was just too afraid of wiping my archive HDD by accident...

@m4iler if you're worried about the NSA, it's too late at this point. They already know. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@m4iler hehehe... mine is just the default for Bash Blog... I don't know which I am. Hehehe

So I watched this yesterday:

Procedural Programming: It's Back? It Never Went Away

It is a really interesting perspective and history lesson on programming.

I'd just like to say, big props to #DuckDuckGo for this type of answer. Very cool.

@brandon Oh I have never actually watched him before. Hehehe...

Did you see they are developing a PineBook Pro?

@brandon His reactions were a bit overstated, but he is not wrong that there were issues. What do you expect? Hehehe... I'm glad he switched to Manjaro... that is 1000X better than the original KDE Neon he had.

@m4iler Holy crap! That's a long list!!! It is good to have goals! :D

You should definitely smuggle a lockpick into a police office and drop it in a jail cell... although these days that may not be very helpful since the cells are usually magnalocked.

@m4iler I know this isn't about this article, but I couldn't help but stop and tell you that you 'skill tree' is really friggin' sweet! Very cool.

This is the Unix Philosophy according to Doug McIlroy (inventor of Unix pipes):

Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

AND

Write programs to work together.

(We sometimes forget that second part I think)
