People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.#Windows is the blue pill.You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.#Linux is the red pill.You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.You are Neo.Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.#meme #choice #os #software #foss #floss #opensource #gnu #gpl #computer #user #nerd #just4fun #system

@rolle The Fediverse doesn't work very well for social media influencer-types who *need* to game the algorithm to be successful.

Immer wenn gefragt wird, ob #Europa eigene Alternativen zu #Facebook, #Instagram oder #WhatsApp bauen kann, muss ich ein wenig schmunzeln. Das Fediverse existiert längst.

In converting my arcade machine from Windows to CachyOS to NixOS, I discovered that #NixOS does not have some of my needed libretro cores, so time to start trying to contribute. Submitted a pull request for the pokemini core as a start. Got plans for a few more missing cores I need soon after.Maybe some more emulators coming a little bit later once I get a few commits to nixpkgs under my belt.#linux #opensource #nixos #emulation #libretro #retroarch
