The row of 20XXs makes me laugh. Looks real bright around 2077, you cyberpunk nuts.

Many years ago when we finally sunset out first generation servers, we took them out to a gun range and let the support department have the first shots.

It was a joke. I feel like we’re all living Brazil 2.

Wait, those weren’t made as a prop for Brazil 2?

Nice way to chain unrelated features together to make something more than it was before. I’m bookmarking this video in case I’m ever asked “what is hacking.”

Every single story about windows 11 makes me hope I can convince IT to let me migrate my work laptop to linux before October.

Software from the 80’s? Get that new fangled garbage outta here. If it doesn’t predate the first Alien movie it’s probably full of bugs.

This is why I didn’t buy a wireless android auto adapter when I bought a different car. I figured Gemini was going to get stuffed down our throats there.

If root on every linux machine is Santa, that explains how he gets so much done.

I thought I cancelled a couple years ago, so I appreciate them sending me an email telling me they were still getting my money.

Shortened lives, hastened climate change, and stunted development is a small price to pay for being able to see a nude version of any photo posted to xitter.

Somebody send a gift basket to the Skype CEO, he’s not doing so well.

I never fully trust a shell script and usually end up reading any I have to use first, so I know what they do. And after so many years dpkg holds no mysteries for me and Discover will install .debs if I double click while in KDE.

A stab at my personal ranking: .deb > appimage > flatpack > curling a shell script

I can’t help but love a .deb file (even when not via repo), I’ve almost exclusively used Debian and it derivatives since the late 90s. And snap isn’t on the list because it got stored in a loopback device I removed.

I can’t set my dryer to medium heat unless I do so with an app over the internet even though the controls exist to do it on the unit. I bought a window AC unit and the only remote control is an app - thankfully I was able to put that on a subnet with no internet gateway and it still works.

Coming soon (if not already): TVs with utility cellular connections or corpo network (like Amazon sidewalk) access that your neighbor may have not opted out of.
