It always gets me that Matthew Broderick killed two people in a car crash and got off with a $100 fine. I love Ferris Bueller’s day off, and I think he’s really talented, but like this happened just after that movie, and he just did not seem to be held to account for it.

What is this?

Is this a Fiat?

I’m enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?

I don’t even remember anymore.

Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they’re so easy. It’s great. Keep building.

I love how chill and helpful everyone is here.

Hey, that’s a good point!

I think they’re keen to buy something new, so my main excitement is hey look a shop where you can start with Linux in the first place.

But I could also end up showing them how to repurpose their current laptops as media servers or something, which would be cool!

This is what I’m excited about. My parents are in the market for new laptops, I’m going to see if they will take a framework running popOS and make the switch to Linux. It’s incredible that this option is now so approachable.
