reminding me about I nearly got suspended because I showed my Health teacher how you could bypass our school’s firewall and buy drugs on a school computer

It's such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.

Anyway, yeah, I agree. I think if one has interest in the inner workings of a computer system, just trying to make Linux do whatever you want it to do is a good way to experience that.

Do e-cigarettes actually work?

I am currently using e-cigarettes as a former smoker

I would say:

  • if you aren't smoking already, there isn't really a good reason to start
  • if you are smoking and sort of kind of want to continue, e-cigarettes are most likely healthier than analog
  • if you are smoking analog and want to quit, there are better ways to quit for sure - I don't feel like committing to quitting just yet, however when I do feel committed, I will go with the tips outlined towards the end of the Huberman Lab - Nicotine’s Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping podcast

What do you think it would take for people to leave GitHub?

I think that's kind of the benefit of Git repositories in general; you really don't have to do much to start contributing on any platform, really - just sign up, fork, git clone and MR (for most of them except sourcehut, really, where you use mail to send your patches in)

The barrier of entry for people that are already comfortable with Github and git in general is basically nonexistent on any of these platforms - which is a plus
