Wow that article was a ride. I feel so happy to not have used windows in the past 5 or so years.

Plot twist: you elder brother has been the lead KDE propagandist all along.

I don’t know man, those tools - they seem rusty to me.

Forgor the /s

Aye, I can’t argue with that

I have read this a hundred times and it’s still as beautiful as the day I first read it.

Yesss let’s go.

I can finally die in peace.

Lol that’s a pretty fun idea actually- just to see the commits evolve over time. I know there are over 1 million commits but yeah when you think about it all of them pretty much document the state of kernel at that time.

Purely in technical terms, this meme doesn’t really fit unless they start running literally from the edge.

While and do while are equal except for the very first test. So if the very first test does not evaluate to false, they are essentially same. In the meme that implies they started running sometime before reaching the edge, that runs the “run()” atleast once and later on for every run it would be checked and it would be false at the cliff edge.

Right all we are missing now is videos in comments.

Damn I see it now.

(Sorry for my bad England)

Guess communism jokes are old now. Sad times.

Yes sadly, I see your point. Big corporates are ruining everything. This is not to say I advocate communism but it’s sad to see the only alternative to communism devolving into a toxic system.

Ah yes, late stage capitalism. Communism was the answer all along. /S

Edit: I love how evryone ignored /S for sarcasm. Just to clarify, yes I know communism is ideal on paper but doesn’t work in real life and yes, capitalism while having its flaws is the only alternate we have.

I think you’ve got it all covered. But for my 2 cents: maybe resources to keep them engaged after these classes, a beginner’s book like “the command line by william schotts” might be an Excellent resource to recommend.

Throwing in a word for foss as someone else is also a nice idea. It would be even better if you could relate it your own life. For example - I use tons of custom scripts for purposes like creating automated git backups and syncing my gdrive using rclone. If you could show your students a glimpse of what you as a enthusiast could accomplish(and what they might customise someday too) it can leave a very lasting positive impression and desire to learn more in their minds.
