Libraries and APIs are a moving target. Eventually it won't run on modern systems anymore without modification.

Neofetch is only dead if y'all let it die. Same as Hexchat.

By "a lot of people", I meant "a great many of them" compared to neurotypicals. Not all.

It often takes a special kind of person to be able to absorb reams of dry technical knowledge in a narrow field and spit it out like it's a second language.

It's easy to recognize in people like RMS, Steve Wozniak, and Torvalds if you are afflicted with it too (although technically none have been officially diagnosed). Even Elon Musk exhibits traits of it (as much as I don't want to be associated with him) I can still recognize the complete social ineptitude and obsessive behaviors that are often associated with it.

Why is it so common for Apple users to replace their devices every 1-2 years then? Theres a reason it's a meme. Regardless of what Apple does with old hardware, they promote this mentality of always needing the next new shiny thing. They're the pioneers of that.

I'm still on a rooted Samsung from 2017. I know several people who went through 3 iPhones in that time.

Incredibly advanced AI, yet it couldn't fix the German accent. My Google Home speaker can do better.

Server consoles. Admins need some tunes in the data room while they're migrating DBs.

My question is, how can you look at whitespace in a filename and not have your eyelid twitch?

Hey guys, unless I missed Boeing getting into biological warfare, I'm pretty sure an infection had nothing to do with them. It's funny to circlejerk though, I know.
