Pedantic, I know, but wouldn't it make more sense to say "powered by Totino's Pizza Rolls", that is, to switch those two around?

Oof for someone who isn’t tech savvy this was a hard read but I appreciate it!

I'm sorry, I should've clarified, that's the socalled copypasta/meme I mentioned. But now you're cursed with the knowledge of it existing.

I wish I had 90s memories of linux, but in my family it was all microsoft, from DOS to Windows. My uncle was an electrical engineer and was interested in computers, so our family got some hand-me-down PC's over time, and I probably played Leisure Suit Larry way too young in the early 90s, but I still believe that typing in text commands is a great way of learning a language.
It wasn't until 1999 I saw Linux for the first time at school, and later around 2003 I saw it again at a LAN where someone was showing off how fast it could run Unreal Tournament 2003, which was faster than Windows at the time.

At least there's still rice and gravy around :)

Linux is not that old. There's a reason why the "Actually it's GNU+Linux.." meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn't start entirely from scratch.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here's a clip of him on CNN.

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I've ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don't run correctly.

I don't mind using the terminal, but how the fuck am I going to remember something like kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false? (In fact, there aren't even man pages for that command). Like the scribbles of a mad man I've had to put down commands like that in a sort of personal instructions manual, because ain't no way I'll remember these commands by heart.
And you often end up just saving the most used commands as aliases or functions in the .bashrc meaning you don't retain the syntax for the commands you use. Well, maybe I'm a unique case of fish memory.. The thing about humans is that we greatly rely on our vision, and having GUI's to show what's possible greatly improve ones understanding of how to manage it going forward.

Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?

Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:

The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water". Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I'm guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.

"Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we're all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!"

That's actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn't want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

Mine is a hack job, mostly a placeholder really,I just took the most used from WinCompose of all places, but have at it.

Who am I to say that one can make a file in the home folder called .XCompose where you can easily input emoticons for easy access using the compose key ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
