In know what you guys are thinking. “But you are posting in the Fediverse on a phone with GrapheneOS flashed via the command line in a Debian based distro!”

I know I know! But truth be told I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! I WISH I could be one of the greats who preaches the gospel of “Just install Linux” and who didn’t constantly ponder flashing stock android again. However its not that simple.

I’m a power user at best! Half the time I’m copying and pasting commands into the terminal. I try to smile when the Battle.Net launcher fails and buggs out through Lutris and tell myself “Its OK! Who needs to play WoW anyway! I’ll just replay Half Life again!” But in reality there’s a part of me that wants to just restart into my dual boot windows 11 partition with my tail between my legs.

I’m not worthy to be on Lemmy! DONT LOOK AT ME! (I’d type a crying Emoji, but my Foss degoogled keyboard doesn’t have Emojis)

    Ok (forgive my paraphrasing but)

    Listen modern computers are running on billions of lines of code. No one knows what the fuck it is doing.

    Modern CPUs, GPUs and other specialized processors have billions of transistors. No one knows what the fuck it is doing ( read the errata if you don’t believe me)

    So given that you are working on a steaming pile of crap running on a steaming pile of crap. Why the fuck do you think anyone knows what the fuck it is doing?

    If you want to know what a computer is doing get a 6502 or 6809 and flash an eeprom. Otherwise accept things you don’t know about will show up while working on the fuck pile.
