i fucking love horses man

I have succumbed to the horse game

@lucy But they're cute...

Now that 4chan is dead as fuck does anyone know a good alternative imageboard for vtuber ASMR, like /vt/ 's /tingles/ thread? Please.

@nyanide People call it a "linux tool" because that's what it is now.

> I'd just like people to acknowledge Unix did something

All of my Linux textbooks used the term "Unix-like operating system". Unix is practically history now, but is the knowledge of it really that rare? It's hard for me to believe.

@nyanide Absolutely, but there were a lot of people involved in the GNU project and they couldn't come up with a functional kernel through their group effort. Hell, Hurd is still complete ass more than 30 years later. I refuse the notion that "anyone" could write something rivaling Linux from scratch.

The creators of Unix had a team of experts and the budget of a telecom giant. Torvalds was a single student in a dorm room, and open sourced it for the good of the community. That's what makes him so respected, alongside his maintainership.

> Part of why Linux took off was being at the right place at the right time.

This could be said for literally anything. Things that aren't needed fall into obscurity

Unfortunate for the creators of Unix that AT&T decided to nuke their OS' chance to succeed going forwards, but they are still legends in their own right within the community. And I'm glad Linux came out on top.

@nyanide Is this Andrew Tannenbaum's alt account?

Anyways, engineering works by iterating on existing concepts, and that applies to software too. Both GNU coreutils and the Linux kernel are heavily based on Unix principles, because why wouldn't they be? Why reinvent the wheel if it works so damn well?

Also how many university students do you know that can write not only a functioning, but excellent kernel from scratch? It's still pretty damn impressive but yes, most of my admiration for him comes from how well he has done maintaining the Linux project for decades.

@nyanide No, I can't agree with that. Torvalds has led the project for decades and it's only because of his autistic code standards that he enforces with fury that the codebase hasn't fallen apart.

It should be noted they are flipping US products, not "Non-EU" products.

The point of this is making a gesture to other boycotters so they don't buy products of a hostile nation, nothing more nothing less.

I have no idea what this is referencing but the hammer and sickle in your handle makes me feel sick even talking to you.
