As a angry, nihilistic teenager: very fucking true. I am literally the only techy guy in my posh bullshit private international school (in Europe so affordable). The only other dude who uses Linux (I'm using that as a bare minimum for "techy") isn't into programming or reverse engineering shit even remotely. I'm all alone (apart from all my non-technical friends). I suppose that's where the nihilism comes from...

Discreetly insulting both Australia and Pluto in one sentence! Absolutely love this; will share it with all my Australia and Plutonian friends! If Earth gets attacked, it's not my fault, but yours :'P

Even better: get Librewolf with uBO pre-installed!

I've definitely raged against printers........ (I'll see you in hell Epson ink refills!)

Wait really, or is this a joke?

I suppose ray-tracing is rather suggestive of games, you're right. Well, I'll take it as an accident by the author and rest easy. Thanks for the correction!

The topic is bloatware, not games. Very different. When it comes to gaming, the hardware costs are a given (for the sake of innovation, as you put it); but when it comes to something fundamental to your computer—think of the window manager or even the operating system itself—bloat is like poison in the hardware's veins. It is not innovation. It is simply a waste of precious resources.

Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)

Thanks for the correction/elaboration! Yeah, banks most of the time seem to be a rather terrifying depiction of all the shitty parts of capitalism, though I still think the root of the problem lies with our imagining of currency.

(As someone who has never studied economics) The purpose of banks is to encourage the act of saving money. The problems you describe are with money itself; money, which is essentially a virtual representation of debt. I can highly recommend reading “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” by David Grabber.

Okay, seriously though: the Lunar Launcher is the only one I have found consistently minimalist and yet practical. I can only recommend it.
