Hahaha, I guess it just felt like playing Dark Souls or something like that… hard but fun.
But to be fair, after installing it for the first time it got easier, and the package manager was very good. Especially for me who before that was using Slackware (which if I remember correctly didn’t have an official package manager at the time) and it also gave me some extra geek points in conversations 😅
This brings back a lot of memories!
Ubuntu would send anyone a pack of 10 CDs for free anywhere in the world back then. Even though I was a Gentoo user at the time, I used to order those CDs and give them away at university and open source/programming meetups I was part of.
In 1985, I asked my brother David (age 15) to be the rotoscope model for my new game, Prince of Persia.
38 years later, I've made him a (present day) cartoon character in my new graphic novel memoir REPLAY.

A few days ago I was talking to some people about how it’s been to me to be living abroad for the last 14 years, building a career and a family in cultures and languages different from my own.
And then the best metaphor I could think of is that it feels like when I’m interacting with this different environment, the brain is running a VM that operates in a way that, for some tasks it can optimize much better than if I tried doing it natively.
@raphamorims Aí você chega numa FAANG e não importa, porque o ambiente de desenvolvimento é remoto (e dependendo da empresa, todo mundo usa um editor web-based pra acessar esse ambiente 😅)
Seven-ish years ago I built this as a (winning) Hack Week project at Spotify. Now they’re releasing it for real 😅
(Mine had an easter egg that if you input the Konami code it would turn into Winamp, though)

And by the way, I like this dealership. I’ve been their customer for years with a couple of cars, but it’s not a 10; it’s an 8 or 9 for me. Them asking me to rate as a 10 is the reason I never answer the damn survey 🤣
Most of the time, this is what “feedback culture” is all about: please give me “honest” feedback, considering that it’s for my boss to see and it directly impacts my living 🥺
Insecure and unqualified males are getting more insecure about losing privilege and having to deal with equality...
As a parent (of both a boy and a girl), I feel we have a lot of work to do for the next generations.
NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.
I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.
@hugaomarques Gosto muito de Volvo, antes do meu XC90, minha esposa tinha um XC40, que é muito legal também, mas ficou pequeno pra nossa família. E agora estou com uma reserva de um EX90, esperando começarem a vender😁
@hugaomarques E quanto é o seguro? E as revisões? 🤡
Nos EUA eu paguei $80k no meu XC90 Recharge, bem completo, no final de 2020.
Uma das coisas, que não sei se é assim no Brasil, é que aqui eu tenho as primeiras 4 revisões gratuitas. Tudo na garantia.
