I tried searching for “BSD memes” but all the results are for some cartoon by the same name.

Late teens, maybe early 20s.

How close am I?

Huh, they actually do:

And Matt Monson — who moved from the Dragon project to SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink — posted that Starlink uses a lot of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and that they too have a lot of experience with Linux. “For some level of scope on Starlink, each launch of 60 satellites contains more than 4,000 Linux computers. The constellation has more than 30,000 Linux nodes (and more than 6,000 microcontrollers) in space right now.

I don’t allow lunix in my house because it’s an illegal hacker operation system. I can’t believe an American hero like Elon would endorse something invented by the notorious Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.

They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.

That saying holds more truth if you’re using the “non-political” definitions of conservative – i.e. moderate, cautious, or resistant to change.

Moreso “set in your ways” as the world changes around you.

I feel like a lot of young linux users aren’t getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.

They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.
