This is the Linux content I was looking for. So relevant and insightful to Linux itself. Like, wow, this is so much better and so much less insufferable than Reddit’s userbase, amirite, guys? It’s so refreshing seeing the same ideology leaking into literally every community, the diversity is so nice to see, like, wow, yes.
this is nostupidquestions, not /g/. take your meds
Yeah, I don’t think Spooner is identical to Elijah Baley, but I see they connect on the technophobe aspects, if nothing else. It’s been a while since I’ve read the books, in other aspects they’re probably vastly different.
Do people not like I, Robot?
I haven’t heard anyone personally that outwardly disliked it, I picked it based on the RT/metacritic score and me enjoying it despite that. I was way too young to remember fresh reactions to the movie when it came out.
Ah yeah, the Chuck Taylor reference, it was brief, but considering how it had been criticized it must’ve stuck out in how obvious it sounded. It’s at least a far cry from being Hawaii 5-0 tier, thankfully.
I, Robot, especially after reading the books. It functions as a combo of the books, but set roughly where the first book took place in, using a variant of the protagonist from the sequels. The robots taking over as they did, though, wasn’t really accurate, even just regarding the laws of robotics, but it worked for the movie’s conflict. In the books, they get a larger hold on humanity, but to help them go past Earth to become an intragalactic society. For a one-off, though, I can see the directions the movie took to give it that close-ended feeling. Also, the implications of robots and humans, and Spooner as a chracter were pretty faithful to the source material, IMO.
I do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it’s helped for doing music/photography greatly.
It’s very nice to see Solus back. I won’t be back there any time soon, as currently my Linux laptop isn’t in use (and is on Mint). I have a soft spot for Solus, though; it is the only distro not connected to Debian I’ve used as a daily driver. Hopefully the maintenance comes easier this time around, too.
Begin journey 2 in current state? Journey 2 can be initiated from the shrine bonfire if you do not wish to begin now.

Increasingly, yes. It’s shaping to be (ironically) the sugar of the 21st century, where sugar was touted as healthy in the 50s despite the effects on diabetes and obesity that we’re still seeing now.
In regards to focus and typing speed, laptops seem to do it best for me. My laptop is usually in sleep, and my desktop off, so it’s much faster to bring it from sleep and do what I need to do. A laptop, too, was my first computer, so I feel fairly comfortable with the experience unless I really need a mouse. Desktops are insanely comfortable, though, and I guess primarily that’s what I’d use, but thankfully I can do about equal things on both outside of gaming, so it’s mainly about how I’m feeling at the time.
