  1. First time seeing a fascinated plant IRL. This dandelion seemed to be living it's best life. Neat and more than a little bizarre #fascinated #dandelion #plants

  2. Dear #Linux before breakfast friends, :ablobcouple:

    Why use, not use or amuse #Penguin #empowered hardware? :ablobsunglasses:

    Here is my #stirring #story from Windows to Linux user, be interested in ‘earing yours? :abloblurk:

    I am #familiar with many #versions of Linux. The first one I tried was #Slackware which I installed from an already out dated #CD. It took me 5 weeks to sort of get a browser (#Netscape I seem to remember) on half the screen. I was #curious and my computer friends looked at this rather pathetic display with pity and #incomprehension. What madness was this? :byebrows:

    I continued, getting Linux Magazine and realising I could barely understand 5% of what was being discussed.

    I was a beginner again. So began #distro #hopping with very condescending ‘help’ from the penguinated.

    However …

    One pre alpha distro was able to provide me with advice on my numerous #questions. Eventually I settled on using this distro, once I got it working at speed. Puppy Linux. :ablobdancer:

    #Puppy was small, VERY fast and continually different. As far as I was concerned if a distro was slow, why not use Windows or Apple? :ablobslurp:

    I still distro hopped but worked very hard for much of the required donkey work for Puppy. I was #fascinated by programming languages but not much of a programmer. So it was mainly #Wiki, #forums and helping #noobs, which is were Puppy became much friendlier and usable. 🤣

    After many #experiences, too many to go into I am now using a rolling release, #Manjaro, #Raspbian for my #Raspberry Pi’s and one olde computer with Puppy. Barry Kauler who created Puppy is now working on #EasyOS. However I am retired from new experimental distros. Now I prefer my Windows free #choice as I move towards #FOSS. Free and Open Source Software.

    Quite a ride … How is yours going? :_stars:

  5. Wow 🤩 I didn’t see this talk go by! #inspired #excited #fascinated

  6. Hi. My name's Alina. I like #words. I'm #fascinated by social constructions of purity and #innocence, and how those constructions relate to ideals of justice. I don't understand this planet at all but I will continue picking up #dirt and allowing it to #fall through my hands #again&again because everything begins in the unspeakable. Even #hagiography.

  7. What a strange world, humans beome more and more like robots(look at mark zuckerberg aka the zuuck) and robots appear to become more and more like humans. At leas in theory :D

    I'm trully #fascinated by this.
