  • The biggest issue with Linux is the culture. I get that longtime users get and understand how to use it. They understand the commands. They know what -r and -n do.

    I still look at my microwave daily to remember what the buttons do. There’s only 6 buttons and a dial. Although, 7 buttons. I just remembered the dial is also a button. It’s the start button.

    Point is, I’m not going to learn terminal. I’m going to point the thing. Then I’m going to drag the thing. And I’m going to double click the thing.

    I’ve attempted to learn terminal since 2014. I have a 0% success rate doing anything. Even copy/pasting other peoples commands. I always get an error, and I don’t understand the error. So I google the error, and then I don’t understand the explaination.

    The way I have always explained it is, the OS is like a car. And terminal is how mechanics diagnose and fix the car. I tried changing my oil once, and blew up the car.







  • When people go to Netflix, they open the app, and scroll for 45 minutes trying to find the perfect movie or show.

    Then they pass out on their couch in their underwear as their cat licks their ear to wake them up. Even the cat is like “c’mon dude. It’s bedtime”

    And then you wake up the next day, and suddenly you got 40 missed notifications because your dad had a seizure last night, and is in the hospital. You would have heard the phone ring, but you were asleep. If you had been engaged, and watching the 1993 movie Super Mario Bros, you’d have heard your phone. But you got overwhelmed by choice, and fell asleep instead.

    Now your dad thinks he’s Rodger Ebert, so he has started dressing in balerina tutu’s. You try to explain to him that Rodger Ebert never wore tutus. And he says “YES I DO!” as he starts doing dance moves from the 1950s.

    All this because you couldn’t decide what to watch in your hubris of options!
