Bought some of the old versions for backup drives. That was a mistake.

Why is anyone even pretending to buy his bullshit. We all have seen the rulings, we’ve all heard his shouting, we’ve all witnessed his willingness to shred, delay, and deal for his party. so let’s drop this did he or didn’t he bullshit and figure out what the fuck to do about it.

Edit- sorry for the rant, not targeted at anyone.

Edit2- except alito

does the job I suppose. I don’t use desktop enough to have any useful thoughts about it. I like that it’s a decent gui over what I’m used to.

bingo, I enjoy the stabilty and simplicity for my servers but I wouldn't run vanilla debian for a desktop. ~~ironically I tend to use Linux Mint for desktop which I guess is a grandchild then, since it's based on Ubuntu :).~~ oops, I use LMDE, not Mint.. forgot that I switched a while back since it's directly debian based.

absolutely nothing, it's my preferred distro (and I have the grey beard to match). what I mean is that despite not using Ubuntu (or honestly even liking it that much), I give it a pass since it's the offspring of my preffered flavor.

It’s Debian based so gets a pass, so long as it’s headless.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

Pretty much. At this point a religious weirdo is a religious weirdo no matter what flavor they prefer.

I feel like they belong in separate categories though. Lawnmower man was regular bad, like it started as something that had value but effects and writing just weren’t up to where they should have been resulting in a hilarious, guilty pleasure mess.

Battlefield earth never stood a chance, everything about it was cursed start to finish and was a complete vanity project by a religious weirdo. There’s just plain guilt with it, no pleasure.

Nature has a much harder job creating the perfect rock. I’ll take it and keep my eyes out for another perfect stick.

I know, right. I honestly do not believe in reality anymore. This shit is too fucked up.

Funny how there’s always a valid reason and it just so happens to always favor the orange turnip.
