@amitylee13 I get it, and chuckled.

@NetworkChuck Hard pass, get off my feed.

@80s_channel Tiffany, at a mall.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@LibertyCappy I'm good. Thanks

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@lippyent Throw in all sports and give me internet connection then you got a deal.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@christitustech Agree. I like my setup and not really interested in changing it. I just have hyprland, waybar, and rofi.

@kmcnam1 Welcome to heaven!

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@TenaciousTek It's not going to catch on. It won't be popular beyond launch marketing. There are no oops pedals or oops steering wheels. Oops happens. The concept to me is that these are temp voluntary prisons.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@TiffanyFong Oh yeah. I remember when I shaved my head years ago (was going bald), no one at work said a word for at least a month. I wasn't surprised at all, but my ex thought everyone I worked with were assholes. Nah, it's what dudes live with. Complements are very RARE!

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@DPrello Sure it's freedom. It's not privacy. There is a HUGE difference. You are free to make poor choices with phones, tv's and even cars.

@ThatEricAlper Calling 411 to check the weather and time and thinking it was totally awesome that the line "little temperature change tonight" line was copy pasta.

@Super70sSports Memories! I still sing this song in my head when I need to calm down, bored or feeling goofy.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
-Fiddler on the roof

Forced to watch in high school drama many years ago. I had not a clue how wonderful a wish/prayer it was.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

How do I stop Omarchy bs in my feed? I'm not following the marketing dude known as DHH. Seriously!? I'm not gunna buy a laptop. Stop.

[Stacy @SickofBS_]

This hits home. It's sad and yes, I'm spiritually exhausted.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

Out of boredom I decided to give Omarchy a spin in a VM. It's neat! Love @hyprland!! But, I found no apparmor, sandboxing or security hardening.

@dhh, if you are serious about your distro, focus on security.

[notafbihoneypot @notafbihoneypot]

If GrapheneOS has showed me anything, lots of apps work without these unnecessary permissions.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

I've been watching the whole Omarchy explosion. It's very nice that people are getting interested in Linux! I'll let it bake awhile before I jump in.

Spidey sense is that something is off and it is ripe for malicious actors.

@BrodieOnLinux 1. rtfm - you do NOT don't need to reinstall based on a dot file!
2. when tldr comes around in ~2022, use it!!
3. People that have zero common sense will try to change your fav OS, ignore them. They are retarded. Ignore linux politics
4. Reiser4 is waste of time, stick with ext4.

[Alan Howell @alanhowell]

@dhh Gotta hand it to you. Excellent marketing for some dot files.
