That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.
I’ve decided to just ignore battery hype and tune back in when it’s time to swap out my house battery in 5-10 years. Hopefully some of the vaporware will have actually materialized in the market by that time.
I’m happy for a new streetcar line that is almost done in my area. My happiness is pretty pathetic and sad.
I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.
I started with PowerPPC back in the '90s (it did not even ship with a working X system). Then went to Debian a few years later, and it was great. I played around with Gentoo for a little while when it first came out, then ended up back on Debian after a couple months. Then I played around with Arch for a little when it showed up, then went back to Debian. After that I just said fuck it, and have stuck with Debian. I run testing/unstable unless it’s some side server I have, in that case I just run stable. I hear good things about OpenSUSE and Fedora, but at this point I’m old and don’t feel like trying something when I have no issues. Tiling WM and Vim. That’s about all I seem to need.
I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.
This is what most of the schools around my area installed a couple years ago:
BeOS on my old PowerPC blew my mind in the late 90s.
I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.
Did you remove the #
at the start of the font_size
setting?
I’m sure you’ve seen it many times, but I love Bill Hick’s take on marketing.
I guess when/if I buy another car, I’ll look into gov’t fleet auctions.
Remember when gov’t banned Furbies (sp?) in some places? Seems like they would make the same decision for a lot of people in important positions regarding their car purchasing.
That was hilarious.
I’m OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov’t for a handout, the gov’t should just tax them correctly and say,“No you.”
Just Doctorow’s enshitification in action.
Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.
