This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.
What's Linux?
It's a type of sausage that's famous in the Netherlands
It's the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he's internet famous for whatever reason
Jokes aside, is Mastodon still tech nerd dominated in 2025? This was from 2022.
Like Lemmy?
Aren't thea few science nerds there nowadays as well?
I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.
But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.
Why can't we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?
we would board containers and find the tun/tap.
As long as tech nerds can learn to be decent human beings, platforms can be awesome with them on it.
There are dozens of us!
Is the train okay?
Well I do use Linux on various devices and on my Raspberry Pi, it's just that my laptop is Windows. No, don't throw rocks at me, I use WSL too.
Also, I've somehow yet to post on Mastodon from Emacs. The existence of such Emacs addon didn't surprise me, because I've posted to identica and twitter from Emacs. You know, back in the day.
I don't even need to throw rocks, Microsoft will drive you out trying to force you into letting copilot think for you.
