Pissipissini Johnson 🩵! :D
I like to discuss tech, but also politics and religion. I hope that I can teach people some things I think I know.
The name’s Theo Mulraney of England, and I am trying to “transcend” current Humanity by “banging on about computers” (and “aliens”) that “encode certain types of abstract data”.

Main reason I started using Linux on my computers a few years ago. I also learned some shocking things about privacy that made me wanna switch. Linux runs most stuff someone not in another weird niche could ever want nowadays anyway.
The function keys allow you to access extra features or shortcuts in programs that most people don’t ever use or don’t know might make them slightly quicker if they use the program a lot.
Steve Jobs only seemed to believe in supporting input methods he thought seemed most convenient for most people. Anything else was needlessly complicated and a waste of space. Some of his ideas about that come across as unusual, especially when things like space aren’t as limited.
Generally I think people that use Linux on their home PCs are more likely to have stuff like multiple screens or loads of gadgets attached to their computer. A lot of Linux users think it’s really cool or like to imagine themselves as someone that does things like lots of complicated data analysis or being an “epic hacker” in their spare time at home. Extra shit on your desk can be genuinely useful if you actually do those kinds of things and add to the aesthetic if you like them.

Lisp code is already like this. That’s why I keep trying to explain it to programmers. Try reading the book SICP, published decades ago by MIT computer researchers.
