Has anyone tried getting linux to run on a mechanical computer?
"I can't handle typing like this anymore" and "I like pickles" are two sentences I could make out of the blurry text
Came here for this. Pickles are like a researcher's??? Progeny? A researcher's what? I must know.
Also something about Harry Potter in the first lines.
Edit. It's grumpy! But I don't know what!
It repeats. The same "have you ever read Harry Potter" is three lines from the bottom too.
It looks like it repeats every ~5.5 lines if you track the "OK, I can't handle typing like this anymore." which is easier to spot with the capital "OK".
I, too, like pickles.
electricity (optional)
I don't think that anyone's yet booted a Linux kernel on a purely-mechanical computer yet.
Maybe Linux is the first to run on optical processors?
If you make a redstone PC and don't consider the requirements to run Minecraft... Probably (in-world it wouldn't be using electricity)
Technically possible. How large would such a machine be though...
Since you need 16 billion crabs to run Doom, I suspect easier than you think
OK now we need to run the math, how many crabs to boot a Linux terminal

Even this potato with 512MB of RAM runs a bunch of linux web services without issue.

Reminds me of this old article (surprised the site is still operating, also archive link)
LOA was the group that first installed Linux on a Shetland pony in 2003, but growing competition from other hacker groups have shut them out in the past five years.
Ok just wait us Microsoft execs are going to pressure Trump to keep increasing tariffs on the penguins and when all of a sudden they need new suits for all the tween penguins ready to shed their adolescent coat we will see who comes out on top.
This is how you do business, penguins don't know how to do business and we won't let them have our AI so they can figure out how to either.
Saying penguins don't know how to do business when all of them are wearing business suits 24/7 is a bold statement.
They even live on the continent with the least amount of debt and bankruptcies!
I genuinely, no sarcasm, feel that this was an excellent addition to the thread. You got a guffaw out of me with the first sentence.
Penguins are LITERALLY always flippant, they can't be serious enough for a high powered surfboard room environments with extremely fancy custom keurig machines, besides we are Microsoft upper management....
a rare photo of a young adult Steve Ballmer, lucky someone through him back in the ocean... unless you are a penguin
Trump tariffed penguins because he didn't understand what Microsoft was talking about.
He probably heard the name McDonald Island, assumed that Ronald McDonald lives there, and chose to tariff the island so Ronald will give him special access to unlimited McDoubles for free.
No, this is our plan?
Here at Microsoft's upper management we pride ourselves in expecting nothing but par excellence from one another when it comes to embodying the aesthetics of competence but we are just as gullible and lost in our own bullshit as Trump we just take the danger of the general public realizing this very serious which is why we are going to show the world we aren't kidding about getting these economically inefficient birds back into line by putting them into crushing debt.
In a head on match up, Windows always out perform birds, that is just the fiscal reality and it is only one of the reasons why we are a Fortune 5000 Golden Donald Edition Company!
edit you want proof? Why would hamas supporting Bird Fundamentalists a.k.a. "The Audobon Society" put out anti-Windows propaganda like this?
Window collisions are one of the leading direct human causes of bird mortality.

what shameful slander
The radical fake green energy movement's Windmills are the real enemies, Windows is completely harmless.
hahaha ooops did we let it slip we are gleefully profiting from genocide and are desperate to get in on the ground floor of using the veneer of tech hype to run cover for a genocide in any way we can?...yeah for some reason we can't help but tell on ourselves oh well... as a rule nobody gets as rich as I am if they actually care about the consequences of their actions!
