I remember going to RadioShack as a kid too and they had a Tandy computer setup. It was magical for 8 year old me. I think they even did repairs back then because that electrical soldering smell is seared in my memory.

I've been using Linux for almost 30 years and I still don't use it as my desktop. There are just too many little things that don't work or are a hassle day to day. It's great for messing around but unless you're spending all of your time in a web browser or a command line, it's just not worth it when I have real work to do. It's been about 5 years since I tried a desktop version so maybe it warrants another look. But, I doubt it. Desktop is just not a priority for open source.
On the other hand, when it comes to servers Linux is always my number 1 choice. I run several relatively high demand services with up times measured in months and sometimes years.
Awesome! What are you gonna do with it? I'm thinking it'd be cool if you were able to wire sens9rs etc into ports on the back.

I think so too. I used reddit up until rif stopped working about a week ago (for me at least). Ive always been a reluctant participant in social media largely because of how consolidated everything is. Which, at the end of the day just means we're easier to market to or monetize. I'm excited about the possibilities of lemmy in a way I've never been about social media before. The content is currently a little sparse; you have to go looking a little, but that'll improve quickly I'm betting. There's no shortage of content to be had. In a small way it feels like the Internet 25 years ago
Reading the Wikipedia it seems this (so far) really applies more to humanitarian science and not 'hard' sciences like physics and chemistry, etc. Hardly a reason to question scientific research and evidence. I look at it this way: science is objective and impersonal, religion subjective and personal.
Me too! It also included several other similar fates for children that misbehaved!
I think he just meant the self loathing part?
