6·4 days agoNow witness the destructive firepower of this fully armed and operational battlestation
I think the color of the car changes too
3·26 days agoI tried to kill 67 around christmas by doing the same, but my young cousins think I’m cool so it didn’t work…
We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it
5·2 months agothat’s my feeling too. light mode allows the screen itself to be much darker and still have some contrast
6·3 months agoHello!
i have a 2 year old at home and have to be in the basement while he’s playing upstairs… super lame
Some people are sniff hungry scratchers who want to smell everything
7·3 months agoI actually think that the joke isn’t about 2 men. I think this would be awkward phrasing regardless of the poster’s gender. i.e. if a woman politician posted this it’d still be a weird post
10·3 months agoMaybe. I think the real mess is because we let libertarians and the NSA make most of the infrastructure
My point is the to my use case, the implementation details matter too. either way, the FS is an abstraction and doesn’t need to exist in the way that it does. I just think it’s funny where people draw the line at X abstraction but not Y. Where is the line and how much should people understand?
tl;dr: maybe if our abstraction is no longer relevant we need a new abstraction
Didn’t watch whole thing. Saving to watch later but when it comes to this type of thing, I always wonder where to draw the line between “you should know” and “irrelevant to most people”. I like unix and plan9 so knowing how the filesystem works matters a lot to me. I also think diskless systems and immutable os are cool and a lot of people just use computers for browsing the web.
if most of the files you care about are photos, do you need to care how the fs works? what about the difference between ext4, fat32, gefs? to me both are pretty important but i don’t expect most to care
EDIT: I appreciate this all being articulated. i may have phrased too imprecisely in that I was not trying to argue that this necessarily shouldn’t be taught as much as much as wanting a discussion of where the line is between something people need to know and something i care about.
It’s an impressive technical feat, and a bit tragic. Try it sometime in a VM (or on a separate hard drive) and read a bit about king Terry.
Sorry for the pedantry but TempleOS is not Linux. It was built from scratch by Terry Davis and doesn’t have a lot in common with Linux.
