Over about a decade: Win7 -> Mint -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Endeavour

Eyeing Nix atm, looks cute, might hop later

30+ here with the answer:

“Rocky montage” is a euphemism for the sex scenes in the film Brokeback Mountain, where one guy mounts the other in front of a rocky scenery.

emacs-everywhere with a nicely crafted flyspell config? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thinking of molding your own latex adidas pants? :)

“Ubuntu a granel” means “Free of charge” in Kinyarwanda (according to Google Translate).

Edit to add: It’s spoken in Rwanda.

I actually encoutered this the other day.

Me: “Yeah I need reliability for work and sometimes I just don’t have time to repair stuff. Last time I was on rolling release some update fucked my system right before an important deadline”

Other person: “It wOn’T bReAk If YoU UndErStANd iT”

Anyway stable is awesome

In Thunar it’s just right-click and “Open as root”

I really like Thunar

Hah. That reminds me of the time when I was a kid we went to a Chinese restaurant. We were from a rural area and visiting a city, so this did not happen too often. We get the menues, decide on what to order etc etc. The waitress comes over, takes our orders and recites them while writing them down. Thing is she has a really heavy accent and recites “fried shrimp with rice” as “flied slimp with lice”.

My stepfather is trying to keep a straight face but just can’t hold it in. He’s squirming, red-faced, and tries to hide behind his menu while the waitress keeps reciting the orders. He then excuses himself to the restroom and you can hear him giggle all the way there, then full-out laugh in the echoes of the tile walls.

It doesn’t end there though. During dinner we start discussing where to buy chopsticks (we’d never seen them in stores and internet shopping wasn’t a thing yet) so when the waitress comes around to ask how we like the food my stepfather (still trying to keep the giggles in) asks where to buy them. He then blurts out “can I buy these?”, waving the sticks in his hand.

“You want to buy the sticks???” The look on her face was priceless. Utter shock and disbelief. But sure enough, they gave us a pair each when paying the note.

Holy mother of cringe I’m still embarrassed over this event.

Well it’s really noob friendly. The introductory courses in programming all tell you to use it and it takes some time and experience to find alternative editors that 1. you like better, and 2. won’t confuse you more than the course itself does.

I used to use VSCodium and the Vim extension. Then I downloaded Neovim and started configuring it, but I was never really satisfied with the config. Then I found Doom Emacs. It was pretty much the thing I tried turning Neovim into.

But I wouldn’t recommend Doom Emacs to a first-year student that is still learning the fundamentals.

Edit: typos

Yeah. First film I thought of when I read the title. My life would be better if I’d get to unwatch it.
