@Tsaukpaetra dark theme users remind me a lot of Linux users. How can you cope with so much broken shit?

I adopted the broken shit. Moulded it. Polished to it until it shown. I didn't know the true worth of the shit until I was already too old, and but then I had become one with the shit...
-
@Tsaukpaetra ...okay...
So, as I was saying, you folks remind me a lot of Linux users...

Yeah, it's a shame that all of the dark mode themes on NodeBB are broken in some way.

I am used to broken shit from using Windows a lot.

At least my workstation doesn’t randomly reboot and delete my files.
(But then I don’t administer it myself. Never got Linux hardware working personally)

@topspin my first Linux experience was that after installation of official GPU drivers, the only video mode available was 800x600 in 16 colors. Not bits. Colors.

@Gąska GPU? What’s that?

My first experience involved 16 colours in 640×480, but it was in either 1992 or 1993, when that wasn't a terrible resolution for a standard PC. (You needed an expensive monitor to get much better than that.)

My first experience with installing linux was in 2003, Gentoo linux on an old Pentium 2 box I had in my closet. Strangely, even using Gentoo, I never had issues installing linux on that box, everything just worked, haha.

I have custom CSS to set up the pink background of shame.
It used to have its hue animated across the spectrum, but I was only hurting myself.

With the very early Linux versions, you had to carefully choose your hardware to be compatible. Or rather it had to be not the nasty cheap hardware that offloaded critical functionality (such as DSP) into firmware running on the host processor. Such hardware was shit whatever OS was in use, but DOS and then Windows would have drivers that did the deed (miserably!) whereas Linux (and other operating systems for PC) plain didn't. With the earliest versions, the supported hardware list was very short indeed (but if you had it, you found DOS/Windows worked better too) and some bits of configuration were not for the faint hearted. I managed to get 800×600 resolution in monochrome working on machines where Windows would only run in 640×480 (in 16 glorious colours). Yes, losing colour was annoying, but gaining more resolution was worth it. The monitors (true old traditional VGA monitors) weren't very happy about it though, as the refresh and flyback rates were a bit too high for their electronics.
Installing Linux got a lot easier once the first version of Slackware was released. Distros before that were for the genuinely masochistic. (At that point, Windows was still an overlay for DOS and networking was typically a third-party add-on in that ecosystem, especially if you wanted to access stuff off the LAN.)

Yeah, was still a pretty little kid during the late 80's and early 90's my father (and his brother) sold PCs, and I got to "help" him (or his brother) build/work on a few of them as a little kid. Having to set jumpers the right way, knowing the correct set of commands to boot a machine and get it to see the monitor when it wasn't detecting it, having machines with Turbo mode.
It was a lot of fun, I am actually glad that I got to experience it, even if I was a little kid.

My first Linux installation was Damn Small Linux. Installed on an 4GB CF card, attached via adapter to an IDE slot. Surprisingly snappy to use on the ancient motherboard and CPU I'd found in university trash. Might have been an Athlon, but I can't remember for sure.

And many cheaper sound cards too! If you wanted to use your winmodem at the same time as produce sound for yourself…? Well, God bless!

The modems produces enough
soundnoise all by themselves.

@dcon The way I heard it was that if you're ever lost in the wilderness, pull out a glass and start pouring vermouth into it. Like magic, people will appear out of nowhere to tell you "That's no way to make a martini!"

@da-Doctah I've heard "Keep some cable with you at all times. If you ever get lost, dig a trench and bury it, and someone with a backhoe will come by shortly to cut it in half."

I guess this old one of mine is an example of Type V:
Also this explanation of Italian verb conjugation:
ami (you love) + amo (I love) = amiamo (we love).

@Mason_Wheeler When I was little, I put a blanket on top of a light to shield the light. (which got a nice scorch thru about 5 layers (yeah, I was very lucky!)) I then switch the blanket with my little brother and tried to blame him. "Mom, <name> was reading!" Uh, yeah, I was young. Very young. <name> couldn't read yet! (I switch to a flashlight after that!)
When I was little I read to the window light. My front window was over our front porch. My young self thought it even better to read while on the porch roof.
The though of allowing my 10 yo (which was the oldest I could be fore these memories) do sit on my porch roof is out of the question.
The difference that 20 stories can make!

Like when I figured out my Minesweeper grid was rotated 90 degrees in memory, but never realized it because my command parser was also swapping X and Y on input.

I remember one time in college algebra where we had some math task involving... I think it was complex numbers? And one of the steps was subtracting two numbers, in that case 1 and 3. But instead of subtracting, I added them. But later, I forgot to square that number, so the final result turned out alright. The teacher didn't forget to point that out in big red writing.
