This is just basic “undergrad pads word count” strategy.

Look at that!

A few nights in French jail worked wonders.

Throw a device from s series into a fire as a spot check and if it burns it’s ok, if it explodes give the entire series to your enemy’s kids to play with.

Most high explosives burn unless detonated properly.

This is really basic stuff. I don’t think you should be out and about giving people advice about handling (potential) explosives.

Most operating systems these days are just micro-kernels to run the actual operating system, your browser. Most users will be perfectly happy using whatever in most cases as long as you can get one of the major browsers on it.

If they have special requirements, then you need to figure them out first.

If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.

Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?

I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.

Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.

A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.

This is my most heartfelt advice: do not do hosting for family members. You will get no end of trouble.

Find her a commercial service she can trust. Or throw up your hands and go “big tech, what can you do”. But do not, under any circumstance, run her IT.

Look at that! We both win!

He doesn’t have bash. I’m not sure I’ve seen a system this millennium with Perl but not bash.

I can’t really think of anything that’s less frustrating than sh and ticks all your boxes. You can try TCL but it’s bound to be a shit show. It was painful to use two decades ago.

Perl is a step up in terms of developer comfort, but it’s at the same time too big and too awkward to use.

Maybe a statically linked Python?

Aww, that sucks.

It’s amazing. You press one button on a new out of box Mac and you’re in a zsh!

Also, sleep and suspend just work.

I generally think Satya is a fairly decent guy.

Microsoft is still a fucking shit show, but still.

That’s not right. It’s not even wrong.

TSMC provides the cell library.

It helps that Apple makes the best touchpads out there, and they are integrated into the OS really well. The haptics are almost magic.

My other laptop is a crappy 13 inch Dell with a spongy touchpad with uneven feedback and it makes me want to throw it into the wall.

Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.

Honestly, I usually just “man command” in google.

I know it’s wrong but my browser is tiled next to my terminal and it’s easy to look up stuff.

Basically you hemorrhage contributors because fuck this shit and then core components get more and more behind.

Red hat I can live with. The problem is IBM.
