"Everything is important. Except for that shit you were telling me just now." I love Lamb.

Oh, dang, they got more Slow Horses. I guess I can't cancel Apple TV just yet.

@rperezrosario I assumed programmer+fediverse=Linux, because that's my feed. But, also, over the three+decades I've been working in tech, I've seen more and more devs being Linux first devs, to the point where the company I work for now has been almost entirely Linux users among the dev team. I don't keep close tabs on everyone, but when it comes up, it's more Linux than anything else, with MacOS second. Everything cloud and web is Linux native, so it's all easier on Linux.

@DrJLecter I'm not suggesting installing Windows or Linux for everyone! I'm saying Windows has a leg up in your use case because your computer already had Windows (or Mac OS) installed. Having it already done for you by your PC maker is infinitely easier than having to do it yourself.

There are vendors that preinstall Linux, so you (and my mom and mail carrier) don't have to.

@DrJLecter so, installing Linux was difficult, but have you ever had to perform a fresh install Windows or Mac OS? Having installed Windows and Linux hundreds of times, I'd argue it's quite a lot easier to install a good Linux distribution (Ubuntu is not my favorite, but it's Good Enough) than Windows on a new PC, but you never see that because 90% of new PCs sold have Windows preinstalled.

There are systems builders that preinstall Linux, for what it's worth.

@blogdiva protests are where people who want change meet other people who want change. Even if they do nothing else, that's enough reason to go.

I once bought a nine year old Saab for $4200. Every woman I knew loved it, thought it was the cutest thing (it was! Saabs were great!).

Imagine being a person who allegedly likes women spending $73,000 for a vehicle women loathe, and that is also uniquely bad at its ostensible purpose of "being a truck".

@jef Gotta go over it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BohXQF4dWT0

And, in classic Mould fashion, it is not just a nostalgia tour of the old hits. He's gonna write new songs. That's the Bob Mould promise.

Oh boy... "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice."

Going down to the incel recruiters office (Tesla dealership) to enlist (buy a Cybertruck).

@rperezrosario It's the year of Windows on the Fediverse, I guess. That's wildly more Windows (and MacOS) than I expected.

I read this somewhere online and somehow I felt like it was something I'd read decades ago, always knew how it went. But it's new. Published this year in "I Do Know Some Things". That's really something.

@jalefkowit there are ten (10!) scheduled for the DFW metro area alone. I suspect some of those will be tiny, though. I would think most folks in the area who are interested will make their way to the downtown Dallas or Fort Worth or Arlington events. It's less than a 30 minute drive from any of those other cities to one of the big ones.

I'm going to start blocking the self-appointed fediverse HOA folks.

Georgia folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgvE_gPi7Kc
