@Natanox I feel like I’m in Stage 2, but I’m still very interested.

@Natanox *stares at his Steam Deck*

Why you callin' me out like dis?

@Natanox Maybe you can consider merging this patch:

* oh wow this is actually pretty cool
-* I have compiled a linux kernel
+I have requested the kernel mailing lists to move to Mastodon
+Linus is following me and totally agrees

:mastoclown:

@Natanox #4 is actually whoops i'm a girl now

@Natanox I wonder if I ever reach the fourth stage... Currently in stage thee.

@Natanox is step 4 optional ? 😥

@Natanox I completed step 4 before step 1. What should I do now?

@Natanox
Life goal reaching step 4.

@Natanox Starting at stage 4 just means that I'm old now, right?

@Natanox Stage Two here

@Natanox 😆

@Natanox For me it’s more:
* I have compiled a linux kernel
* what’s a Mastodon
* I feel lost and alone how does this work
* oh wow it’s less worse than twitter

@Natanox
Still on stage 2 tbh...🫣😆

@Natanox https://xkcd.com/456/

@Natanox I’m currently at stage two.

@Natanox Kernels are popcorn right?

(Sorry, not quite to 4th step yet.) 😶

@Natanox
As a raspberry pi user your last line hit the spot
:)

@Natanox * I feel lost and alone how does this work

it me

@Natanox I'm still at #2

@Natanox
Stage two, word-for-word.

@Natanox I'm definitely between the first two. Sure I'll get there. Though I've no idea what Linux kernel is. So maybe I'll get to the third point!

@Natanox i think step missing: setting up own instance of mastodon.

@Natanox
Did 4 before 1,2 and 3 ;)

@Natanox that feels same on twitter, but become more messy there due to ads

@Natanox I’m at step 3 :thinkerguns:

@Natanox I'm number two how does this work im a #twittermigrant so a newbie day one

@Natanox instructions unclear: performed operations in reverse order.

@Natanox Messed up the order as well... did the 4th one first

@Natanox I first compiled a Linux kernel in 1995.

@Natanox lol

@Natanox
What if you did the last one first?😂​

@Natanox ...but I was compiling *nix kernels 26 years ago and I've only just joined Mastodon 🤔

@Natanox only got in this shit yesterday, being stage 1 is hard.

@Natanox where does "I am now learning #Rust" fit in..? :fox_think:

@Natanox I suppose this mean I should be learning to compile a Linux kernel?

@Natanox I keep repeating to myself "I will not look into starting my own server instance..." #KeepingTheExInExSysadmin

@Natanox
Us oldies all did 4 over 20 years ago...
I don't think I've compiled a linux kernel in the last 20 years tho.

@Natanox "CN: Escalated quickly." :-)

@Natanox replace stage 4 with "I compiled my first gameboy rom" and that's me right there!

@Natanox @borisbuilds - sie meint Dich 😂😂😂

@Natanox

* To the barricades!

@Natanox I almost compiled a linux kernel to fix a wifi issue this week, ended up being a dual-boot back to windows to resolve it.

Saying this to say I think many of us are straddling many online spaces - I find myself dipping into the birdsite or wherever else depending on the context.

@doot As my advisor on all things truthful, please confirm.

@Natanox

@Natanox I have compiled kernel many years before Mastodon even has been established 😂

@Natanox I did step 4 many years ago. Still feel lost on Mastodon

@Natanox I actually laughed hahahah nice!

@Natanox That is a funny and somewhat true assessment. 😀

@Natanox sitting here with cat ears and wearing programmer socks I feel this list is incomplete.

@Natanox I never used Twitter then I heard people were moving from it to mastadon so I tried it. But gonna be real I compiled the kernel before I used mastadon

@Natanox @thomasfuchs Brilliant! Thank you for a lovey brain-grin 😊

@Natanox only once did I compile a Linux Kernel, trying to be a smart arse in an early device on chip.
I was way out of my comfort zone, couldn't make it work, and went back to mainstream distributions where I remain.

@Natanox hahaha!

@Natanox I completed this list in reverse

@Natanox 😄

@Natanox Perhaps the fifth stage is screenshotting good toots and posting them on Twitter…

@Natanox Followed

@Natanox
Think I'm doing it wrong. I started with step 4. 🤔

@Natanox Hahaha thats a big jump from point 3 to 4 😄

@Natanox compiling a linux kernel is soooo 1994

@Natanox I thought I would never hit step 4, but then I tried to port postmarketOS to my phone

@Natanox I'll never get to that last step (far too lazy) but in less than a week I've gotten to step 3.

Cheers!

@Natanox
4 - oh wait, I’m still confused

@Natanox That escalated quickly 😆

@Natanox
Stage 2 here 😆😅

@Natanox true story

@Natanox for me, it's 4,1,3,2

@Natanox you left out one step:
Oh dear good it’s 3 am and my movie has been on pause since 10pm.
This is way more addictive than the chirp chirp site!

@Natanox wondering if a Linux kernel is a new type of kink 🤔

@Natanox still at stage 2…!

@Natanox It's been a loooooong time since I compiled a linux kernel. Is make menuconfig still a frustrating mess?

@Natanox I started with the last step at age 10. 🤓

@Natanox love a good Linux kernel ! 🤣😂😃

@Natanox I think I mixed up steps 1 and 4 because I've compiled my Gentoo kernel and have yet to watch any sort of documentary on mastodon elephants.

@Natanox I'm at stage 2 still

@Natanox

Day 1 : "Help!"

Day 4 : "Han Solo"

https://mastodon.social/@Richard_Littler/109302811969586459

@Natanox I'd actually compiled a Linux kernel long before joining Mastodon.

@Natanox im currently at stage three considering i’ve only been here a couple of days, i’ll probably have compiled a kernel wthin the week🤣

@Natanox whoops I did this backwards

@Natanox 😜

@Natanox 😅

@Natanox I feel that I'm going backwards them 🙂

@Natanox I saw this post on Twitter a few days ago and it was the final bump I needed to set up an account here. 😂​

@Natanox I am at Stage 1. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Natanox stuck on second stage 😭

@Natanox just first 3🖖🏾
fourth i can do in my job:)

@Natanox I am on step 3 and i have started wondering where my extra raspberry pi is sitting just in case :)

@Natanox a relatable tweet.

@Natanox ha, stuck between 1 and 2... 1.5 should be "wait, what?"

@Natanox That's me. I'm a stage 3 !

@Natanox im up to Linux kernel

@Natanox stage 2 here I’ve not progressed any further yet

@Natanox I started with the last step long before the first 🤔

@Natanox
Joined, have name and profile and nothing else seems to work. Doesn’t search no feeds

@Natanox I'm currently on step 2. Trying to figure out what this is all about.

@Natanox Hahaha

@Natanox I /think/ I did the last one first… about 20 years ago!

@Natanox
* I just installed NixOS and then did a version bisect on the Linux kernel to track down a bug.
