Pfft Linux can't even deal with a bit of rain. This is why I use my abacus.
Look at this fancy guy using an abacus. Everyone knows the superior way is to harness your own mind as your computer.
If only I could get some spice.
I'm simply using Brain and Brain++ compilers to build and run ideas. Plus you can overclock your own neurons
Can't trust digital computers. I'm using my mechanical calculator for gaming. Just add a wheel, divide by 0, and you'll be playing Farming sim in no time.
If you ever finish a speedrun of Super Mario Bros on mechanical calculator you should share the results
This is why windows is better, it doesn't suffer from stormy weather. Puny Linux users and their weather based OS
I don’t know man, speaking as someone who lives in a hurricane-heavy locale we have to deal with broken windows due to storms with some regularity.
Oh yeah, I'll trust closed source instructions for MY computer over this!
And if you're ignorant and I need spell that out for : Sarcasm.
Yeah the other user was sarcastic aswell.
I couldn't tell. I'm ignorant.
Was that sarcasm?
This whole thread is sarcasm, dipped in a whipped sarcasm batter, crusted with crushed sarcasm, then deep fried in a pure sarcastic oil for a sarcastically long time until it's a nice even color. It's then drizzled with a sarcastic reduction, and presented on china with a sarcastic pattern with accompanying cutlery.
But how can you tell, there's no /s?
It tastes like sarcasm.
bill gates controls the weather
It's because of the COVID vaccine mind control chips he put in everyone. If he wants to cause a storm, he just makes the entire population of Norway start flapping their arms in unison, which causes atmospheric disruption that leads to storms.
he makes them piss actually
Don't be silly, that's just ridiculous. He's not that powerful. But he is on the secret syndicate boards with the people that do. 😳
He only controls the windows that keep it out!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Linus Torvalds has indefinitely postponed the merge window for version 6.8 of the Linux kernel after a winter storm knocked out power and internet near his work-from-home location in Oregon.
On Saturday Torvalds shared news that temperatures in his area near Portland fell to 14°F (-10°C) and that the power outage was widespread.
The United States National Weather Service warned on Saturday that a winter storm had brought precipitation, strong wind and very cold temperatures.
Local media reported four to five inches of snow (10-13 cm), blocked roads, over 150,000 people left without power, disrupted public transportation, and several cold weather-related deaths.
It’s a scenario that would make one reconsider ever leaving the house, assuming adequate warmth inside the home.
Linux-watchers may recall that January would often see Torvalds head down under to attend antipodean FOSS-fest Linux.conf.au, then sneak in a little diving in local waters.
