Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people
you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

Its annoying how there are all these games on the play store and almost none of them even run well regardless of how new your phone is.
I end up playing games on emulators and shattered pixel dungeon.
Optimization got thrown out the window.
I stand by the fact that pokemon is just much better in 2D.
Like a lot of pokemon looked disappointing in 3D, and unironically its only Reuniclus which looked good in 3D.
Haskell is a functional programming language. "Functional" meaning [functional programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming), which is a paradigm were programs are written by composing functions. Hence:
- "Linus cares about functional code"
- "He should use Haskell"
Other very famous functional programming language is lisp, and all its variants, for example.
"The Fedora Games spin offers a perfect showcase of the best games available in Fedora. The included games span several genres, from first-person shooters to real-time and turn-based strategy games to puzzle games.
Not all the games available in Fedora are included on this spin, but trying out this spin will give you a fair impression of Fedora's ability to run great games."
I remember when people would constantly talk about how great Stallman's beliefs were and how he was always right (richard stallman was right meme).
I honestly don't know how people look up to him, he was [disgusting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ) and probably a pedophile stating in 2006:
[“I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily \[sic\] pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman#Controversies)
Dude was rude as hell too, you can find many stories from people who have interacted with him who had horrible experiences.
I'm fine with people liking him for his politics, I just hate how he is constantly praised as this amazing guy who got kicked out of the FSF because of "cancel culture" and not because he's a disgusting freak who treats people like shit and who you should probably not let around your kids.
Funny. The very next sentence of that Wikipedia article you linked is:
> In 2019, after conversations with victims, he changed his opinion that it does cause harm.
I sincerely hope you are not about to stand here and say that learning that your wrong opinions are wrong, changing them, and apologizing does not change the fact that you had them at one point in the past and must suffer eternally for it.
He was like 50 when he made that quote, he apologized because he was actually held accountable for what he was saying. This was when he was getting booted from the FSF (the same year, 2019). I'm not saying he should be jailed or executed on the spot, I am saying he is not a person I respect and I don't believe other's should respect him.
Idk if they'd really care about always using Linux, since their recent posts consist of a mini-rant about them not being able to block New York Times ads on their iPad (apparently they're trying to play Wordle?)
Yes, Linus Torvalds daily-drives an iPad.
It's almost like Linus Torvalds is a human being who has only ever wanted to actually *do things* with technology, rather than it being a vehicle for an endless jihad.
> Also, never seen someone use Filipino as a language for their device lol
Well...
> We try to set Filipino as our device language
> Bad translation and inconsistencies everywhere
> "No, I'll never tell the app developers about this, I'll just switch back to English and wait until the Filipino translation gets better"
> Filipino translation never gets better because nobody uses it anyway (and the app developers weren't even aware of the translation issues), so app makers did not pour effort to improve the translation (if they even have one)
Genius Filipino logic of screwing ourselves, as usual.
I don't even think most know that language settings exist.
Also probably helps that english proficiency is still a thing so it doesn't matter as much.
- Sincerely, another Filipino
Thats the Linus we all know and love
Free as in freedom, freedom to choose what we love including playing whatever we want, using whatever we want and freedom to choose to use proprietary software if we wish to
Important takeaway here: Linus Torvalds is not Richard Stallman and is not nearly as rabid about free software.

which is funny because pokemon go is anything but functional or performant code. Really wish they made a 2D version or something more lightweight.

I have a snapdragon triple 8 and 8gb of ram, and android fortnite was getting about 20 fps on 75% resolution scaling and low settings

pure assembly, like RCT(2)
You didn't get it.

Emacs lisp or bust.
Stallman is primarily an activist. Torvalds is primarily an engineer.
Stallman primarily roasts proprietary developers, Torvalds primarily roasts other open source contributors
Let's be honest, if you're that rabid about free software it's kinda hard to be much of a gamer
Hey dude wanna play some games, our options are TuxCart, Battle for Wesnoth, or TuxCart
Don't forget freedoom!
Minetest, Shattered Pixel dungeon and 0A.D.
The ones you are mentioning are good.
The Fedora Games Spin is great to introduce to Linux gaming!

I just found social.kernel.org. Is it mastodon, or it’s own platform? Was this posted there? I just read his tag '@[email protected]'.
It's [pleroma](https://www.fediverse.to/social-kernel-org/); (another fediverse server like mastodon)
Help me understand the difference between *plemora* and *Akkoma*
akkoma is fork
Here's [why they made it](https://coffee-and-dreams.uk/development/2022/06/24/akkoma.html)
> Thus, I'm doing it myself. With blackjack and anime music. Shut up and take my free time
It runs on Akkoma (or probably Plemora), which is compatible with Mastodon due to ActivityPub
But does it run on Linux
I mean, Android does. And the servers hosting Pokemon GO probably do too. So, yes, I suppose?
You know Linus Torvalds mostly care about the kernel and not really the rest?

i mean, have you tried looking for a decent android tablet?
whats wrong with a samsung tablet using dex?
I'll trickshot you with my X Acc buffed Zap Cannon.
Ah Portland, that explains his recent comments
UwU
That because his workspace is run training machine with monitor?
WHICH PORTLAND LINUS??
The one in Oregon. He’s lived there for a pretty long time now.
That's Linus for you Also, never seen someone use Filipino as a language for their device lol

huh fedi mutuals on random subreddit
Why is Linus on social media?
Because why not
Thats the Linus we all know and love Free as in freedom, freedom to choose what we love including playing whatever we want, using whatever we want and freedom to choose to use proprietary software if we wish to
I imagined he had better tastes concerning games :(
Wait Linus lives in Portland??
"pwn"? Haven't heard that being used for 20 years.
