Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.

Nah. I was thinking more like one of the actual non-shopped photos of him where he nonetheless looks like he’s not having fun.

Alternatively, the one where he’s peering in a window for some reason. Assuming that’s not AI generated.
The oldest initial users of the C64 are elderly now. Those folks were adults in the '80s when the machine came out.

T-shirt idea: Caption reads “Are we having fun yet?” with a picture of Zuck at his most creepy and least emotive.
I get that there’s a relatively distilled Linux user base here in the Fediverse, but what percentage of that group really needs ISOs that quickly, and presumably, often?
