@plasma4045 I started out learning Linux but I recently started looking into powershell and I find it to be a really fun scripting language! I like how it's object oriented and how you can analyze the contents of the objects within the shell. It also helps that there are lots of Unix aliases for the powershell cmdlets.

If you ever wonder why we need open-source firmware, look no further than a manufacturer allegedly disabling Polish trains because they were repaired by a competitor.

@scarletfi @unixjunk1e hopefully someday I can say the same. For now I'm enjoying learning the different approaches within different languages.

@gkemp I've been really interested in learning AWK for fun. Maybe even for something productive. So far I've only used it as an overpowered grep.

@schultzter I feel the same way, Constantly getting lost in a rabbit hole of man pages.

@Catiearms hi!!

@samfromtheus I'm slowly seeing what you mean. I agree, I quite prefer it this way. It's almost easier.

@MxVerda I also make art. I mainly focus on music at this point.

#FungalFact 7:
#Fungi employ a self-non-self recognition system known as vegetative compatibility. Compatible individuals can merge their #hyphae and exchange resources. While incompatible fungi trigger hyphal death at the interaction site, hindering resource sharing.

@MxVerda I've never watched a vtuber, but I do love art and 90s video games!

@waiting thanks! Now to think of a good bio 🤔

@junesim63 thank you so much!

@george thank you 😊

@brudibrau awesome! 😂

@justabaldguy hi! It doesn't seem like you're struggling to have conversations. You were willing to start one with me.

@potungthul thank you! It makes me happy that you know about hyphae :) I admit that is part of my reasoning for choosing the name.

@dharmadischarge thank you for the tips!
