    They don’t need to teach “windows” or “excel”. Working with an “operating system” and a “spreadsheet” is the real value. One can quickly pick up any equivalent technogy as they need to. There’s no good reason to stick to the company that happens to have a monopoly at the time. In fact, it’s better for society that they don’t.

    As for photoshop or any media editing program, I’ve never learned that in school anyway. That was just not a thing in any school around where I grew up. Maybe I missed out, but I’d say that elementary and high school curriculums are already pretty busy to focus too much on that kind of work. IME teenagers usually get into that kind of software at their own time and interest. I was into video editing and 3d modeling, but that was never in the curriculum, nor would i advocate for it to be.

    it’s safer to run it as a regular user and have topgrade ask for root access. With this config line it can ask ahead when starting, so you don’t need to babysit it:

    [misc]
        # ...
        # Run `sudo -v` to cache credentials at the start of the run; this avoids a
        # blocking password prompt in the middle of a possibly-unattended run.
        pre_sudo = true
    







  • explanation: the elements in the “Breaking Bad” logo are not the ones in the mug:

    Also, A and M are not elements in the periodic table. It seems “M” has the mass of Mg, and even the space for the g, but it was lazily erased. And it’s a bit blurry, but I think “A” was supposed to be Al, with mass of 26.98. The worse part is that Albuquerque would be perfectly valid, but they had to fumble this completely.
