Or soda. Or sugary drinks in general.

The orcs of the misty mountains are called goblins. I think Tolkien used the terms interchangeably.

It's called git. It's been distributed from day 1. GitHub was an attempt to centralize it.

There is one big caveat to universal time:

Future dates: If you use utc here and a time zone definition changes, you're boned. You have to store local time and offset for just this one usecase.

I'm 40+ and still love spinners :)

I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it's not even had that issue.

I've had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.

MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian "unstable") for a long time.

The original saying is "If at once you don't succeed, try, try again."

So yes, try exactly two more times.

There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that's the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you'll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

I've found people mostly very helpful and courteous.

You picked a Hitchcock frame as a meme and didn't go for one from Birds. Shame!

Edit

Time to replace Philosoraptor with Sarcastiopteryx.

Haha funny name, but let's see how much traction it will get.

Everyone who thinks they are in the bottom right, is in the bottom left.

Not sure if it maps to your requirements exactly, but check out the UHK:

I have a v1 and a v2. Very happy with both.

It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.

So show me something else. Or I'll boo.

Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

Wizard: I'm not keeping cash, I'm buying paper and ink and scrolls with it.

Being a wizard is super expensive.

No. No grand rewrite either:
