I’ll allow it.

MacBook Air club represent!

There’s also the email that could’ve been a “man-up and make this inconsequential decision by yourself, Dave”

I regularly take essential oils to flush the toxins from my vagus nerve. (/s just in case)

I love i3wm. Incredibly lightweight and minimalistic.

When you get this to work, hit me up for some venture capital.

I know how it feels man. Every time I try to sell bootleg DVDs from the trunk of my car, the cops shut me down. Big copyright is just killing the free market, I say.

Gibberish? That’s poetry. I sang it to Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’

Their format and style makes them highly meme-able.

I always pronounce it “fezzik” like Andre the Giant’s character from The Princess Bride.

LFS (Linux from Scratch)

Get a load of this guy - he’s got ladies just coming up and talking to him.

The script just does all the actions that you would otherwise be manually typing in the terminal. When it’s finished, you have the same minimal environment as if you’d done it manually, but with less work.

You might want to check out the i3 tiling window manager. Shit’s under 50MB and makes every other DE I’ve ever used feel bloated and laggy.

Inspecting the file with a hex editor would give you lots of useful info in this case. If you know approximately what the data should look like, you can just see where the garbage (header) ends and the data starts. I’ve reverse engineered data files from an oscilloscope like this.

The main benefit is that when people get tired of distro flame wars, they can move on to init system flame wars.

My current and all-time favorite laptop is an older MacBook Air (Intel) running Arch Linux. The quality of Apple hardware combined with Linux is unbeatable. I can’t wait until we get a reliable Linux distro that runs on Apple silicon.

This is the trust-fall of Poe’s law.
