PigPoopBallsDotJPG , to linux in Microsoft causes learned helplessness

This is valid late 90’s critique on Windows. In the modern day, it’s valid critique on the entire state of computer software. There used to be a time where I could run “ps axuw” on a then modern Unix system and understand exactly what the fuck was going on and what each process was for. These days the nerd-favoured systems are also a big mess of complexity.
