I often feel like I'm still relatively new to the #POSIX world ( #Unix and #Linux ).

In 1988, I started using Unix at IBM (as AIX) on its RT workstations. In 1999, learned C programming on a #Sequent minicomputer. In 2001, I bought an iMac with OS X (BSD), and installed X windows to run OpenOffice.

I started experimenting with Linux when I still had to download and compile source code, and dabbled with #Fedora . (I recently noticed an old copy of Fedora 10.) I got into #Ubuntu around 2010. This year, I installed and already like the new #FedordaWorkstation39 , upon which I've been running #KiCAD (and a bunch of other stuff) with nice results.

It seems like there's always something new to learn about computers.

Note how the benefits in gains in productivity shifted away from worker pay after the most notable tax cuts for the rich, both post-JFK and especially during the Reagan years.

That line failed to spark joy.

I'm not sure what the answer is, though I'll bet you could get an answer from nine out of ten dentists.

Thank you both for containing the word "news" in quotation marks.

They do a lot of heavy lifting with Fox "News".
