Some song contest (Eurovision) had gotten so big it was a galactic event. The sponsoring company had invaded one of the planets, stolen their resources (a honey flavored flower) to make a what I think was a cereal, then set fire to the planet to destroy the farms so no one else could get access to the resource.

The singing competition then banned residents of the planet from entering the competition so they didn't have a galactic stage to speak about the sponsors shitty actions.

As a white South African, I agree. I'm sorry you end up with these people, but I'm glad they are no longer here.

These aren't just racists. They are also mostly people who believe they are owed something for nothing and will drain resources from the USA government.

This is why I'm advocating for my company to end its work from home policy. Muting someone in my team who is arguing with me just doesn't have the same gravitas as choking them out.

I started using it before distros were really a thing. I got as far as having something that would boot to a shell, but then since I was 14 I had no idea what I was supposed to do.

Backed off until I bought a Slackware book that came with a CD. Then I had the fun of trying to get X working. Manually entering frequencies for your monitor was scary, because if you got it wrong you could damage the monitor.

Then I had a fun problem of either my modem would work, or my sound card would work, but never both at the same time.

Honestly I never got a system which I could actually use for anything, but I was a kid having fun, and it taught me to not be afraid of the computer.

I can imagine why. You put a bunch of stuff on a boat now with no tarrifs in place, but by the time the boat reaches American shores the orange shitstain saw the word dei in his alphabet soup and went off the rails again and imposed tarrifs. So now when the shipment lands you suddenly have to pay an extra 150% or have it destroyed.

It could be the Ford Zephyr. Not as big as a Zeppelin, but still pretty big in terms of egos
