If you're doing it for yourself, fine. If you're writing for me, don't waste my time by making me have to decipher your custom scribble that's never consistent with anyone else's, unlike normal print.

But at the end of the day, there's only one program in control of all the hardware. They're all getting the kernel from the same place, the distros aren't writing their own kernels except for a few tweaks here and there.

How does this happen? Do not most major desktop Linux distros more or less run almost the same kernel with the same driver modules? (Except in the case of Debian being several years behind the rest).

as a man, I ain't rocking thigh-high socks

Is this because you actively choose to not wear them as a man, or because society will try to make you feel wrong for doing it?

If the latter, then fuck everyone else.

Hey at least it doesn't have ten different watermarks on it and also a layer between the screenshots where an actual photo of the monitor was taken.

One major part of fire code in most areas I've ever worked in is that the door access control system must be tied into the fire alarm so an alarm event will kill power to any doors with maglocks. Every door also needs its own exit button to again directly cut power if the automatic motion detector fails to let anyone out. Let's hope those were the things missed.

Problem is there same one that plagues most open source software. Who enforces or organizes the desktop theming standard that every desktop environment will use? You're going to have to come up with a universally acceptable method. Are we going to use CSS? Or just some kind of config file? There are many different ways to do what you want, how do we choose one?

The oldest millennials are in their 40s. They've moved on to talking shit about zoomers. It's kind of weird seeing everything repeat itself like that as I get older.

Who is?

My ex wife for one, who would like to play Steam games but is not experienced enough to build and fiddle with a gaming PC, much less Linux, and just wants a box she can just plug in and turn on without calling all the IT folks in her family.

Don't forget about our nerd bias. Most people here have a different perspective than 95% of normies. Remember how clueless the average person is about the inner workings of modern tech.

This person above me literally thinks that people are willing to go through with making permanent changes to their bodies just to cheat at sports or be pervs in bathrooms or some shit and not to, you know, have their body match who they really are more closely.

 
 

In 2005, NASA had a program that allowed you to enter your name to be placed on a CD-ROM that was to be put on the New Horizons probe to Pluto. I was able to look mine up and still see the certificate.
