It’s true that Gopher never really went anywhere. It was convenient for what it was and it had Veronica (a basic search engine) which made it useful. But hyperlinks were a killer feature.

I’m still not over the utter destruction of Sun by fucking Oracle.

Gopher wasn’t open source? There were linux clients.

I never switched to Chrome and never really noticed any performance issues. If a page took half a second or a second to render, it was an absolute non issue to me.

Writing sql is just like writing anything else, but uppercase.

That’s harder when playing plinky plonk though.

Oh, very well. Carry on then.

Is it dishwasher safe?

There are a lot of electric mopeds that look like assisted bicycles but aren’t. Those are a bit of a problem and shouldn’t be in bike paths.

I see you’ve been using apple cables. Other cables will absolutely last ten years or more.

Look at this guy who doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!

What, surely not all three of them?

I don’t know how it works in your market but here, the major hardware retailers will assemble your machine for an extra 80 euros or so.

You’d get to hang with a rat too.

Well, yes. But this time they mean it. It’s completely different.

The mustache is much too wide. I don’t know why everyone sees Hitler.

Um, so did they say what blender it was?

Maybe you can just trim them!

I agree about that today, but it wasn’t always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.

And yet we still did it. From floppies.

Ubuntu’s role in the ecosystem is important.

I think it used to be. There’s still some inertia, but Canonical has used up a lot of goodwill through the years and other distributions have picked up the slack.
Nowadays I wouldn’t point a newcomer towards Ubuntu. It’s trash. Just use anything else.
