I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn't polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with "customers" claiming "Windows 7 was my idea!" and the public ate it up.

I don't know, I think Thanos should have worn a suit

I couldn't imagine tying myself to a single category for my whole career.

I've done front end, back end, database, web, Windows, and Linux development. If the job calls for learning something new, I'm on it. These days I'm making datacenter software for admins to use to manage their distributed applications. Before this, I was doing the same thing for factory automation at the edge.

Specializing has its value, but the more flexible you can be, the more useful you will be when the landscape changes and your boss suddenly asks you to set up an AI system or something.

Yeah anyone wanting to get into the series should begin with asylum. It's got a more horror vibe which I think holds up incredibly well still.

But the other games are mechanically better, so it's hard to go backwards and enjoy it quite as much

This is a very good time to pick up one or more Fallout game. The release of the show brings sales on the games on multiple platforms

I say we lose the entire Crowder meme format. The "change my mind" bit was from one of his stunts, and this is just keeping it alive longer

There's still many other meme formats that send the same message, we don't need to sully Calvin's image by associating it with a Crowder stunt

Where does subspace fall on this line? Stargates? The TARDIS?

Sometimes the science is magical. The line is pretty fuzzy

We should really ditch the entire meme, there's a hundred other ways to say the same thing without keeping Crowder's "Change my mind" alive.

Besides, Calvin's lemonade stand is really a different sort of a message anyhow.

I agree that Crowder shouldn't be a meme.

I also think that his meme "Change my mind" shouldn't live on through Calvin. We can get the point across without keeping any of the Crowder-created bits.

I guess the main things would be:

  • As a beginner, don't bother trying to dual boot -- If you still need a Windows box, get some cheap hardware to do your Linux work on. It's too easy to screw up both systems otherwise.
  • Don't get too hung up on a specific distro, the better you are at dealing with different configurations, the better prepared you will be for whatever comes. Once you've gotten one set up, don't be afraid to just try a different one.

PAWS is no joke, though.

While post-acute withdrawal syndrome has been reported by those in the recovery community, there have been few scientific studies supporting its existence outside of protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal.[8] [9] Because of this, the disorder is not recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders[10] or major medical associations.

Maybe not a joke, but it doesn't sound like it's taken very seriously
