Average child uses linux factoid acutally just statistical error, @inkballpro, who lived in a cave and installed 10,000 virtual machines a day was an outlier and shouldn't have been counted.
Reminds me of high school. The jocks (mathletes) would stuff me into server closets because I used nano instead of vi. Popular girls would laugh at me because I didn't know about tab complete until junior year. Bad times.
Honestly if you use nano you deserved it
My preference is VIM with gasp mouse features enabled. Blasphemous, I know.
Nano is perfectly fine as an editor.
Sure, Neovim might be the best, but Nano will do fine in a pinch.
Yeah, micro is the real goat. Vim and emacs are just bloat.
Why the hate on nano?
I prefer it but generally use vim because I don't want to install it on work machines.
I was using a command line and modifying games I typed in out of a magazine in like, 4th grade. Also not normal.
I'm with you, I was writing programs in BASIC for ten years before I touched a boob
I learned BASIC in my 30s too.
In 5th grade I couldn't find the internet explorer icon. The mousepad was full of icons but no internet explorer.
Well, if you were looking for internet explorer on your mousepad, I think 5th grade you was lacking some important info
if it was a something like a c64 in the 1980s, it certainly was normal.
I don't think there were enough C64's produced for it to be "normal".
I was coding Fortran on punched cards then, I didn't know anyone with a computer at home then - they were still expensive hobbies. The Commodore was certainly part of opening it up, but damn few people had them.
I was definitely looked at as unusual at the time for doing any kind of "computer stuff".
It was a Tandy 1000 in the 80s. Which was a weird computer to have, but worked well enough.
Nothing taught me more about networking than our LAN parties. Even the least computer literate in our friend group knows how to set up a small network without DHCP.
When I was six, the idea of a personal computer was science fiction.
Ha ha you're old.
I mean so am I but you too
Greetings fellow geezer! Let's have a brewski on the porch and talk about how young people just don't have any respect any more!
Me too but we were just poor
The title of this post seems deranged and nonsensical. No idea what it's supposed to mean. The post itself? Pressing the fuck out of X.
It's a reference to a Tumblr meme, "spiders georg". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiders_Georg?wprov=sfla1
Its a reference to spiders georg, a tumblr joke.
My 7 year old has a Linux box but only uses it to read comics infrequently. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
teach them to make things in godot or something, get them to realize they can actually make interesting visual stuff and hopefully the ball will start rolling
I love making desktop entries that run scripts. I feel like god as the dominoes fall yet I see myself as a person who knows nothing. Windows makes this process easy, yet I am not a fan of windows or the new menus ... Like like the right click window...just change the stupid icons back to plain old "cut" and "copy".There is probably a way to change this but I hate windows and spending time on it. windows makes me sad.
