None, because their boards would sue my pants off for what I'd do with them.

A better question would be what I'd do with controlling ownership of three companies.

I've known people who moved to different continents in pursuit of love. 190km is a minor inconvenience.

NVIDIA's contempt for the Linux community is legendary. Definitely not a skill issue.

386BSD was a thing back then too, but there was the AT&T lawsuit that scared everyone away. That gave Linux an opportunity.

I wouldn't use ZFS. Too risky. If a new kernel comes along and ZFS fails to build or something, my system will be unbootable.

Btrfs scratches my copy-on-write/checksum/integrated RAID itch well enough anyway.

It's pretty important on Windows too, though. Always “eject” or “safely remove hardware” before unplugging!

Nothing of note, really. The openness of the whole system meant that I could learn whatever I needed to know as the need arose.

I started when I was a kid, though. I had plenty of time to explore and discover. It'd be harder as an adult in a hurry.

But if it’s outlawing book burning in general, that’s quite another story.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” The intended target of this law is crystal clear.

Calvin's favorite daydream, right there.

the cattle now tell themselves they don’t want to be free because their rancher told them about fictional wolves that conveniently exist everywhere past the imaginary line that serves as a fence.

The Chinese who took over Hong Kong don't seem very fictional.

Option 2. If innocent people die, it won't be by my hand.

So, basically, they plan to install a dictatorship in which separation of powers, states' rights, and meaningful judicial review do not exist.

Sounds about right.

They're conscripts. Nobody asked them whether they'd like to die.

Hostage-taking cowards.

ABP is, ironically, adware, and probably also malware. You'd be better off with the stock browser.

My butt started hurting within seconds of contact with my old childhood bike's seat.

Jailing the protesters, not the terrorists, no?

Ransom is almost always collected in Bitcoin. Buying drugs online was one of the first things you could do with Bitcoin.
