Well on the one hand, he did kill Hitler!

On the other hand, he killed the guy who killed Hitler too...

It's because it looks like a pinecone, which at the time were also called pineapples.

Hot take: the more Gnome shoots itself in the foot, the better for Linux.

Having to use Outlook was a significant contributor to me leaving my last job.

I'm grateful to Microsoft for Windows 11 providing me a bunch of free machines to stick in my basement and put Linux on.

Unfortunately you can now only concentrate on things you are supposed to do. You try to watch TV and you can't follow the show because you're thinking about how you need to mop the floors. Want to read? You can't concentrate because you really should wash your windows. Your life becomes a hell of boring productivity. You lose sleep thinking about all the things you're supposed to do, including how you're supposed to be asleep by now. There is no more pleasure in life. There are no more quiet moments. There is only stuff you are supposed to do.

Can't wait to get rid of that shit and have something that actually fits in my kitchen.

Me replacing GNU coreutils with the rust ones.

That doesn't get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

Mostly the difference between PlayStation games and N64 games was whether they came with a bunch of CD-quality audio tracks.

Because they know by doing that they can both get engagement and someone else to find the best quality version for them.
