They are UNIX systems, they don’t need an entire team to be managed once installed and running.
I’m only half joking. It’s not UNIX but I’ve been working with “legacy” systems like IBM i mainframes, and those things don’t need much to run. Sure, you have to update the system and the software once every few months, manage backups, role switches, etc., but it can mostly be done by a few people. But yeah, systems like this were (are) insanely expensive so most of his budget probably went there.
Just in case you don’t know, unless it changed last time I checked, some organizations like Comptia didn’t allow computers with dual boot to be used to pass a cert exam.

It may not be intentional slop but it’s pretty much the definition of quantity over quality.
You look down on people driving a car they can’t repair themselves.
I look down on people driving a vehicle they can’t power themselves.
We are not the same.
I’ve seen another “joke” like this when I was on reddit and I had to save it to remind me how most people think it’s funny to drive a multi ton lethal vehicle when they can’t see shit around them.
Do you camp in the wilderness? Because most people insist on bringing their car or their SUV with them.
I make it a point to cycle to provincial parks and use rustic camp grounds, but most of these still have parking spaces. In fact, the provincial parks here literally have a disclaimer on their website to warn people that some camp sites are not accessible by car. You have to tick a box that says “I understand this camp ground is not accessible by car”.
And if people want to go on crown/public lands where wild camping is permitted, then they’re probably gonna use a fucking car.
I’m usually aware of my surroundings even with the headphones. Apparently sometimes more than some people without them. I just remove them when I need to interact with others. If I really needs to hear the crap around me, like when I’m cycling, I use bone conduction headphones.
And if it’s so crowded that I need to hear the people around me not to bump in them, then it’s too crowded for me to be there in the first place.
As a city dweller without a car, headphones are part of the essentials when leaving.
✅ Keys
✅ Money
✅ Phone
✅ Headphones
And probably a backpack.
Except that person that uses thorns in their comments. Apparently, this is not acceptable to a lot of people and they automatically downtove them.

I struggle to find anything. Maybe affordable housing, but that’s a thing of the past. It changed a lot in 20 years and everything that I may have been missing at some point is long gone.
The people there proud themselves in being a rural region with a small town surrounded by close villages, but everyone knows everyone and if you don’t fit socially with the others, mainly conservative, they will all bitch and talk about you in your back. Also, they take their cars to go literally anywhere. The next town is 7 km away, there’s a dedicated bike path, and they whine that “everything is so far away in the countryside that you absolutely need a car”. Yet, I moved in a metropolis where my work is 9 km away through dense urban landscape, and I can cycle there just fine.
I’m glad I left and I don’t really miss any of it. I don’t even like going back there. In fact, I prefer the services, and geographical features, of my new home.
The practice must vary depending on the region and the tolerance level of the local police and parking enforcement. Around Montreal, when there’s no parking near a work site, some construction workers just abandon their pickup trucks anywhere there’s any amount of space, often in crosswalks because that’s where there’s “space” left, and jam a high-vis vest in their window to show “who they are”, hoping they won’t get a ticket. And apparently it works or they wouldn’t be doing it that much.
I find it dangerous for pedestrians as they are now emerging from both sides of a pickup truck higher than they are, making it difficult to see them from the vehicles passing that crosswalk, but it’s unfortunately a frequent thing here.
I had those when I was a kid a few decades ago and they had the tip coloured in red. They were designed to look like fake cigarette, but in candy form, for kids. However because of anti tobacco movements, they renamed them to “candy sticks” and removed the red tip.
I think OP is trying to recreate the old ones.
EDIT:
In fact, the numbers are estimated to be around 2 billion animals a year globally.
As for people
I guess I don’t fit anywhere because fuck guns.
Less annoying than construction workers leaving their pickup trucks in pedestrian crossings with a high visibility vest jammed in the window.
It can be expressed by a graffiti that I saw on the side of a bike path in Montreal, in French: “L’humanité ne court pas à sa perte, elle y va en voiture”. Or something like “Humanity is not running to ruins, it’s taking a car”.
As much as I want to blame giant corporations and capitalism for a lot of our societal problems, this sentence resumes so well how common people also enable all of this by refusing to change and just going with the easiest option. I know we won’t reach our climate change goals. I know because when I say I organized my life around the fact that I don’t need a car, everyone tells me that they couldn’t live without a car, that it’s very useful, and that I should get one. I’m not even a real adult as long as I don’t have a car. I’ll feel so much freedom when I’ll have a car. I should just get a car! Just get an electric one! Like, instead of encouraging people to live without a car, the vast vast majority of people will actually encourage others to get one.
So yeah, we’re not “running” to our loss. We’re wasting energy to move our fat asses in individual motorized multi ton metal cubes to go there faster. It’s so useful! So practical! So fast! There’s no time to waste. Like Marge Simpson once said: “Outta my way, Nature!”
It’s a giant metaphor for the rest of our society. Same with all the AI hype, food delivery apps, and over consumption in general. We’re digging our graves out of excessive “convenience”, and cars are one example of this.
Yes because I come from a rural region where most people can only speak French, and I’m the only one of my family that can speak multiple languages. Sometimes it feels like I know different worlds unbeknownst to them.
No because the languages that I know are not rare. There’s millions also speaking those languages so my perspective and experience is far from being unique.
No. Nothing matters. He said it himself.
I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?
It’s kind of complicated. I’ve used Linux since Slackware 7 and I still have issues with some drivers.
Sometimes you just already have the hardware. Sometimes the vendor says it’s compatible but it’s not, or you have to compile drivers from a CD. Sometimes it depends on the version of the kernel used. Sometimes it depends on the architecture. Sometimes conditions change and what’s supposed to be working doesn’t.
I don’t think the meme is blaming Linux, it’s just how it is for some people. Some are gonna distro hop, some are gonna compile their own kernel.
