Richie’s Computer Stuff

I dip my chicken tenders in my soda.

I always wondered. Ghosts who died in the 1980s dressed in neon windbreakers practicing the Thriller dance. Why don’t they talk about those ghosts in TV shows? They sound like they’d be a lot of fun to meet!

I switched to Linux six years ago because I was bored and wanted to try it as a main OS for the first time. “I can always go back”, I told myself when I still wasn’t sure of things.

I never did, and never will. Now, I just watch Windows become worse and worse from the back while laughing in my Debian/Arch-based playgrounds.

It’s a rather complex and intricate biological process wherein mommy and daddy wish upon a star, and that star descends from they sky, becoming a new seed which gently plants itself in a cabbage patch. From there, after continuous watering and plenty of sunlight, the seed blossoms into a beautiful flower which when blooms, opens to reveal a diamond. That diamond later forms into an infant child, and can begin the long process of growing up and consuming resources.

Pregananant.

I don’t even know that most of the time.

You know something, I have a weird soft spot for thin clients. They’re so little and compact, but they do ordinary computer things?! Hmm… I think I need to be on the lookout for some to add to my collection so I can force get them to compile Gentoo for three days, or something equally silly. I’ve made a Compaq Deskpro EN run Arch Linux 32, so there’s that.

The thing I’d like news sites or other sites that use paywalls to understand is that I am not likely to sign up for a $5/$10/$15/$20+ subscription just to skim through a single panic-inducing article or quiz and then probably never return. I will literally press that little back button and go somewhere else.

This reminds me so much of Pointless Sites. I’d spend hours on that site as a tween bored in computer class.
