Usually, my own thoughts are the only ones that matter to me. The exception is the rare occasion when I actually create a post or comment asking a question. That’s when I want to know about what you think. Otherwise, buzz off.

LMAO what’s the fun in that? Much better to be the drunk ass mod who was removed as a mod and just navigate the town. Netflix series are made of this. I’m never giving up this userid. It is me. I might even gat more popular with the Reddit people. I can be that sexy guy that just came out of jail. Like on Netflix. Or Amazon prime.
Honestly, one day I might get bored and drunk and just post all kinds of awful things all over and violate the guidelines for moderators. I’ll be forcibly removed. This really can happen because I’m not against it and not opposed to getting ripped off my ass and getting fired for a job that isn’t actually a job. Will I miss being a moderator? No. Will I care much? No. Watch me to learn how to be just a moderator and not be some creeper in his mom’s basement with no life aged 35 or something. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get banned as a moderator for saying exactly what I’ve just said because I’ve been so not thinking about the code of conduct or the rules of this community. My whole self value is not invested in this. I’m into other things and have an actual life. I also like to drink booze.
Umm accountable. Held accountable. You chopped it off there. And I like being held accountable. Fire me any time you like for any reason. Not like I’m actually doing anything special.
I was never a moderator on Reddit or on any other platform and fell into the role here. Quite happily, actually, because when you do it right and delete people’s posts and they ask why because your pithy explanation in the modlog is too pithy and you explain the rules, the poster is grateful at best and at worst is slightly irritated by the rules, whether that be the Lemmy.world Code of Conduct or the community rules. The nice thing here I think is that moderators are accountable to rules and the admins. We can’t just subject people to whatever bot or whatever whim or whatever bot we whimsically put out. We actually moderate I thought this little job was going to be irritating. It isn’t. I really like it because we talk to each other. There is a public modlog. I love this! All mod actions I take are accessible to the users. It’s amazing and I love being a moderator here because everything is so transparent. It’s real moderation that is fair and helps the users. I don’t think any moderator on Reddit would ever like it here. I mean, really, every move you make as a moderator is available for the world to see. Reddit does not have this. Probably why it can’t turn a profit. Moderators here are held accountable and I am so glad to be held accountable.
I invented a machine that converts masking tape you can buy at the dollar store into backup tapes. I rewrote Bacula to write the backup AND print pretty flowers on the masking tape. Totally free and open-source. Download it from a rotary phone.
I totally dare you to install Arch without ever creating another account. Just reboot as root and use the computer as root forever. Despite all the warnings against it.
Linux is so awesome because of scripting and automation. It’s just there, an expected thing it wants the user to do. My favorite thing about automation and scripting is how you can write a script in the terminal and make it part of the GUI experience. Everyone has their own preference about how to edit a file. I’ve been writing scripts since the 1990s, so I’m just used to doing that in the terminal. The OS has evolved since then so much. So, I write up my script in the terminal, then I turn it into something I can click on and run when I need to, on top of scheduling its execution. I think that’s really special and unique about Linux now. Mac OS was like that in the past. It got less so over the years and Apple made it harder for the user to do this. Linux has maintained this type of thing that has always been since UNIX and I really think it is a driving force for the future of computing. It now stands as the only OS that allows the user to customize his or her experience through scripting as a totally functional and integrated aspect of the OS. You don’t have to do anything special to get scripting to work. It comes to you this way. You just write your script. You decide how you want to execute your script, which can even include executing it in the GUI if you want. Microsoft Windows never had this and is desperately trying to catch up, but in order to do it on that OS, it’s very clunky. Linux right now is the only OS available that allows you to do exactly what you’ve described. You only have to do it once if you have the know-how. And it’s just there. No special things to install or create.
It’s like, when you install arch, you just feel like not bothering with installing the gui stuff, because you’re so above pointing and clicking on things. If only they’d make a command line version of Metro Exodus. Metro Exodus on the command line would be so much more powerful. It’s so lame with graphics. Don’t get me started on editing my photos of the kids and fam. Just load that pic up on the command line as raw data. I’ll just eliminate the red eye reading the machine code and editing it. GUIs are for weaklings. Just install arch without X or gnome or any of that stuff. Don’t even get me started on the KDE wussies. Oh yeah, you want things to look all pretty on your screen to click on. Computers aren’t pretty. They take commands. All you need are fingers and a keyboard. You can play tetris on the terminal, you know. No need for graphics. The linux devs just added graphics and a GUI for wussy users. Even invented that penguin thing to make it pretty and dumbed down.
Wow, really? So, basically, since 1999 or so, I could have had a built up career because I mastered the Linux OS. I have built up a career in something else totally unrelated. Do you think I’d be richer and famouser, too? Maybe I should have just thrown myself at the technology labor market and taken control of it, like I do with the terminal app. snortreapplies tape to broken glassessnort snortreadjusts pocket protectorprefers platform games with a penguin over a guy with a moustachesnort snort

Yes. With VPN. And so many lessons learned after about how you didn’t have to do it, but you did it.
