@lupyuen Thanks for sharing! But first Step 1. Learn rust. 😂 (I'm working on it) @PINE64

Schools and open source:

"Why, after all, proprietary software developers offer gratis copies of their nonfree programs to schools? Because they want to use the schools to implant dependence on their products, like tobacco companies distributing cigarettes to school children. They will not give gratis copies to these students once they've graduated... Once you're dependent, you're expected to pay, and future upgrades may be expensive."

@paleobiologist@fosstodon.org @fatboy I just hope we can skip the myspace survey phase.

@Cambria @amolith No worries I'm still going to give it ago, maybe slackware too eventually to tinker even. Hopefully one day I'll actually start contributing back to one of the Distro's. It's just a need to find/make time and/or a skill that'll help one.

@rtwx what is void?

@Cambria @amolith Ah gotcha. Pretty funny way to explain it though. "I'm superior because I have to Google to use my distro"

@lupyuen thanks! I didn't realize this was a thing. Making the jump from scripting to programing has been on my 'things I want to do list' for a while! I might need to do baby steps first but at least this gives me something to aim for.

@lupyuen soon as I finish my degree I think I'm going to try getting my hands on one of these and work on learning it.

@Cambria @amolith What was wrong with the Arch Community? Just curious started playing with it in a VM a few days ago no where near hopping to it yet though.

@fribbledom Thanks for sharing. The parts I was able to catch between work and catching the spawn were really interesting.

@kelbot luckily you have the right to repair with @PINE64 hardware 😎👍

@alsternerd @brainblasted @gemlog have either of you tried one of these yet? I've been debating on getting one to study off of or trying to dig and find something with an Eink screen. @PINE64
