I subscribe to the economist. It’s definitely pro capitalist, pro globalist but Ive never found it not to be credible.

Slackware was my first distro more 25 years ago! Good times.

I wouldn’t say this is my favorite movie but I love it and have watched it multiple times. It has its flaws and it wasn’t very well received critically but I still think about it all the time and rewatch it every couple of years. Watching the movie got me reading the book which is also great.

I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years and I still don’t use it as my desktop. There are just too many little things that don’t work or are a hassle day to day. It’s great for messing around but unless you’re spending all of your time in a web browser or a command line, it’s just not worth it when I have real work to do. It’s been about 5 years since I tried a desktop version so maybe it warrants another look. But, I doubt it. Desktop is just not a priority for open source.

In a small way it feels like the Internet 25 years ago
