  • Not the one you asked but…I was a bit nerdy in high school and learned some programming. Nothing big, just c++, basic, and messing around in dos. I had friends try to get me into to Linux in the 90s but I was busy smoking weed and not wanting to learn things anymore.

    Fast foward. A few months after joining lemmy and seeing Linux everywhere made me want try it again. I loaded Ubuntu on my old laptop and messed around a bit. Nothing big but I was able to do some basic tasks. It feels like a big world but knowing I could do basic computer things with Linux is a win in my book.

    I haven’t really explored behind that, but I think the Linux community is just more into open source and see the clear benefits for humanity in the long run. Maybe that way of thinking just attracts more people to Lemmy. The decentralized aspect of Lemmy was a part of the reason I liked Lemmy. I wouldn’t want another spez or anything.















  • I had a ps2 demo disc with some games like Star Wars Battlefront on it. I played it and I enjoyed it. Then the unspeakable happened…

    My memory card was wiped. I received a warning weeks later that the demo disc has a bug that deletes memory cards when you play it. Like wtf is that about? I was playing a game and got pretty far but it erased my file. I don’t even remember what game it was.

    Anyway that is my spooky memory card story.
