How I feel about my (soon to be ex-) wife…

I use EAC but no idea if it’s available for Linux… I think it’s open source so seems like it should be, but can’t be arsed to Google it right now…

I did my best to explain slavery to my daughter when she was 6 because due to COVID, we were basically home schooling her…

never understand GIT as a single developer.

I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux…

Yeah once they’re out of the womb, fuck 'em. We only care about the unborn.

Funny, I felt the same way about my wife, but she surprised me in the end…

That’s about the time I started building my MP4 collection… Which is up to at least 2TB by now, if not 3…

I did not. But many years ago I had a girlfriend who named mine Roy, as in Orbison. Can’t for the life of me remember why… She liked to have long talks with Roy, but he was quite deaf, had to get right up in there to hear anything…

How do we know you’re not an AI bot?

Sorry, I’ve been eating better for my health.

Hell if I remember so long ago, redhat was in the mix, then mandrake… I ran Gentoo for years on a server, until I got bitten by some upgrade woes, then switched to Debian, then arch, now truenas. Meanwhile on my desktop I bounced around even more… Ubuntu until the stupid wannabe metro UI, then switched to mint, which I used exclusively (as in without dual-booting windows) for a while… Meanwhile my laptop dual boots Manjaro alongside windows 11…

Mine was slackware in I think 1997?

There’s a name for it- euphemism treadmill

Hey look, I’m good at something.

Yes, but that’s why x86 assembly programmers do it…

Yes, but it’s not universal that xoring a register with itself is more performant than simply loading it with 0.

an x86 assembly programmer

Ftfy. not all CPUs have an xor register with itself instruction.

Steve Hughes had this to say…

That was typical of cars made (for US market) in the early to mid 80s… Can’t remember for sure if it was part of the whole national 55mph speed limit, but I’d bet it was.

I don’t remember a once-in-a-generation economic crisis in 2002… I remember the dotcom bust and my dad watching his retirement evaporate in 2000…
