I get it. That’s why I included the part about “the family tech guy”. And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for “beginner install linux” or some such. If the spark isn’t there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.

Undoubtedly.

Life is a long learning experience. Installing (or asking that nerdy relative to install) a Linux distro is no biggie anymore and when picking a good all-around distro like Mint, for example, pretty much anyone who has some basic experience on computers can do it.

Yup, and the egg from which the first chicken was hatched was laid by a very close precursor of a chicken that was not yet quite a chicken herself, unlike her chick.

Bird flu is the nature’s way of saying how cruel and fucked up the system is and how it should be abolished. Humans don’t need eggs for anything.

What an absolute cunt.

By the blueberry with a surprised look on the left. Aim at my mouth please.

They just need to try harder.

I swear, Mark E. Smith was sometimes decades ahead of his time.

Anthrax letter incoming!

This new craze they call “rock nucleic roll” is driving the country’s youth wild!

Because this would actually be even more excellent anti-smoking ad.

It’s even cooler when it’s forced on you violently and without consent.

Well, usually dd is not used as often as cp, so there’s a bigger chance of messing up the parameters, unless you’re careful and rtfm first.

No, but you’re just typing if and of, not infile and outfile, and the letters are right next to each other on a qwerty kbd. One can haphazardly misuse a lot of commands, it’s just that some commands may lead to nastier outcomes than others.

Unless you forget what if and of mean. With cp it’s simply “cp what where”. Never had problems remembering that.
