      beware of sampling bias, only specific personas and activities get posted online for any viewing, most things that happen don’t go to the internet

        you mean… “nothing ever happens”?

          no, I mean that if u see a specific group of people on the internet doing what you want to do, note that they are a subsample of the people who do what you want to do who also decided to post it on the internet, note that the internet doesn’t have a full unbiased sample of people who do what you want to do. So you can’t learn about things that happen but generally don’t end up on the internet.

    I love my puters. I built it myself and put Linux on it. And I rescued my laptop and home server from my corporate employer and put Linux on those, too.
