I'm gonna list out my interests, and there's a ton of 'em. Classic autism move, getting obsessed with weird topics that stick with you forever.

Heads up, #Fediverse, you might lose it when I drop 100+ hashtags in one post. That's just how autism rolls I guess.

Yeah, I know it's a lot. But that's the beauty of an autistic brain I guess, we go deep on what fascinates us.

#linustorvald had some particularly fun comments with respect to #russia #linux kernel maintainers. While I'm sure the individual maintainers are reasonable people (at least as far as kernel maintainers go), removing an avenue for Russia to inject nefarious kernel code (by way of force on these maintainers) is a net positive. I hate that we have to do such things, but it's the reality of where we are.

This #Man is a living #Legend, but still #humble in his social #behaviour. I think using #Mastodon is by far easier than writing a #Linux #Kernel. But it was the sheer #Mass of gifted #Coders, that made Linux really #workable, like it is today. Linus knows, what the Word #Cooperation really means. I'm sure (and hope) he get's all the Help he needs on Mastodon and take a Bow to the Man, who broke Microsoft's #Monopoly to give a free #OS to the #World.

People always say that #Linux doesn't play nicely with hardware or software.

My friend has a hardrive that stopped working. I really thought the thing was dead. It was making that jank ticking sound of a dying hard drive. You know what I am talking about.

So I took it out of their PC, placed it in a #SATA HDD dock, and plugged it into my Linux laptop.

You'll never guess. #PopOS detected a #Windows hardrive people who were ready to throw away and lose all their data.

Nothing was corrupted. The hardrive was just very close to its end.

Do you want to tell me #LinusTorvald added patience to an operating system
