  • Yeah, haha I was laughing because its a copypasta meme. One time I saw Stallman give a talk, he ate powdered donuts the entire time and over the course of the lecture became completely covered in powdered sugar. After he left there was a remaining halo of powdered sugar that we tried to preserve but that maintenance department vacuumed it up lol.

    "I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!"












  • I was 22 when TPM was released and my friends and I were so excited to go see a new Star Wars movie. The first one came out the year I was born so even though I’m nearly 50 now I never got to see the originals in that form and this was a huge moment for Scifi nerds like us. We got together all the old crew, we had all graduated college at that point and didn’t see each other often and this was like an event. We piled into the theater…

    When it ended we all just sat there confused. No one wanted to be the one to admit that the movie fucking sucked. It sucked so hard I was embarrassed to be there. We all looked at each other like uh… was… that good? Finally someone was like “I wanted to leave since the underwater scenes”

    The prequels suck. The only reason anyone like them is that they were kids when they came out and it tickles the nostalgia centers of their brains. The next two were slightly better but only very slightly. I will never watch them again.
