The first line is Marx, but the rest is Adam Smith. Book 1, Chapter 6 of Wealth of Nations.

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities makes a third component part.

Here's twitters ad revenue by quarter from 2013 to 2022Q2

There's a spike in 2021 and then things started to come back to earth, but its an overall upward trend throughout that time.

git

Looks like a two finger "up yours" gesture. Bet grandma's a Brit.

Not extensively, the keyboard is at work right now, but I've fired up a few things to try it out. It's a well-built mechanical keyboard and performs like you'd expect in that regard. Ortholinear key placement takes a bit of getting used to, but it doesn't take long to build that new muscle memory. By the time you're typing comfortably on it, gaming would likely be fine.

I have an Ergodox EZ from ZSA and have been really impressed with both the keyboard and the company. I got mine with Silent Reds but later swapped out for some clickier Zilent switches. Switches are easy to swap, so you have a lot of options there.

When I got mine, there was an issue with it losing connection (I think the USB port solders had broken) and ZSA support was really easy to work with.

Free and Open-Source Software

konsole is low-key a great terminal. It's really snappy, supports ligatures, and looks good. It's one of my favorite KDE applications and the one I miss most when it's not available.

Yes, wget is available, along with pretty much everything else you'd expect from a linux environment.

No, root isn't required.
