dirtypirate

My elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I’d giver her free support till the laptop died.

5 years on and the only time I’ve had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn’t find her eye glasses to read the error message.

Fedora is good for servers and corporate environments, Mint is good for a familiar desktop, Ubuntu is good for mac users.

one time a student pirated some expensive CAD software and learned it, that student went on to become the purchasing agent for a company and guess what software the company purchased?

the software that was learned already.

$100 student lisc was pirated and that pirate purchased 10 license at $5k per.

I had a similar, we’d kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.
