@TheBreadmonkey keeping a straight face while people repeatedly use the word 'git'

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey You're not the only one who's not a coder here.

Ben :bc:

@analogfusion

I know - it was just a little joke because there are overwhelmingly more coders here than on any other platform and I know vanishingly little about it so it always makes me chuckle whenever I click on ANYONEs profile and it says "Linux... I work with computers"....

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey I may be one of the few Linux enthusiasts you'll find on here who just likes using it as an end user. :)

I can run some simple commands in the shell, but that's about the extent of my knowledge.

@analogfusion @TheBreadmonkey
Linux? I just use it.
Command line? It's just somewhere I copy and paste to if I have to.

@MikeFromLFE @analogfusion

I don't even know what Linux is? I assume it's a Windows operating system on a Macintosh desktop PC?

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE It is an operating system, but it's distinct from Windows or Mac, and will run on a wide variety of hardware. It also runs much of the internet, and is the OS on which both Chromebooks and Android are built.

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Well, technically Linux is just a kernel but for practical reasons it's usually called an operating system. Thought I'd better say that before somebody gets all pedantic about it.

@analogfusion @MikeFromLFE

Sorry Lance. I should explain that my default is messing around and being daft. So if I say something incongruous, assume I'm attempting to be funny. However.... I actually did NOT KNOW THAT! and think it's really interesting! Does that mean all Android devices? Am I a Linux user without even realising?

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Sorta. Google has modified it. Just don't ask me how and where because that's where my knowledge ends. :)

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE @analogfusion best joke EVER! Shows you know enough to know those all don’t go together… I am not a coder either .. but know enough that this is frickn hillarious

@TheBreadmonkey I was like you, now I'm taking a coding course. 1/4th the way through #javascript !

@hollie

You mean.... I.T. me, right? For Information Technology!

Rey :ghosthug:

@TheBreadmonkey @hollie it's okay, I'm sure you nerd on something absolutely incomprehensible to us, too! ;)

Happy Holliedays

@nothe @TheBreadmonkey πŸ˜‚ I have no idea what you're talking about.

Me: <whispering to my weird hobbies> SHHH GET BEHIND ME, THEY'RE LOOKING

@TheBreadmonkey it's like when I go to happy hour with my wife and her coworkers and i'm the only one who isn't a lawyer

Jon Renaut

@TheBreadmonkey Look, I thought about being a lawyer, that should count for something

@ebooksyearn

I would just pretend that I am and talk animatedly about all of my Big Cases. Like taking down the D.A. for corruption and going after the Mob with a RICO case.
