You’re using a logical fallacy called reductio ad absurdum. You take my interpretation of Linux’s definition to an extreme to make it look ridiculous.

To be fair to you and remain taxonomically accurate, the linux kernel is a system of algorithms, which (to be fair to me) can be considered an algorithm (the main loop) of algorithms.

K is potassium.

The linux kernel, given my very pedestrian understanding of it, is a program that allows other programs (e.g., GNU utilities) to talk to a computer system’s hardware.

Therefore, linux could be considered a collection of algorithms that can be modularly compiled to handle:

• Resource Alocation
• Memory Management
• Abstraction

You forgot the -v tag to watch your dreams die in real time!

I suppose the Democrats^tm could fillibuster and obstruct every bill possible like the Republicans^tm have for years until enough Republicans^tm agree to enact the articles of impeachment.

The aliens are wondering too.

Service means citizenship.

Yeah, we know. What the fuck are you going to do about that?

I prefer Cthulhu’s position.

No lives matter, and that’s a fact.

S-Tier ELID (“explain like I’m dumb”); thank you for your service.

Hastur first appeared in Ambrose Bierce’s short story “Haïta the Shepherd” (1891) as a benign god of shepherds.

Oh hush, we all saw your cute beginnings, your fluffiness.

And here I thought it was because you’re an old one.

Or… was… that the joke?

Tree-fiddy.

Very telling that you didn’t acknowledge that you were flat out wrong.

Can you link the video, if you have time?

Draw a clock, Donnie.

There is something distasteful about elder generations prejudicially dismissing new ideas, especially in such a subjective artform as music; in that sense, we can find common ground.

However, I am now 42. An elder millennial. I have been a player of instruments since childhood. I read and have composed music in western notation. I’ve been in a few touring bands. I’ve been around and played with virtuosic players. I’d like to think I’m half-decent myself.

At this point, technical ability or mastery of the instrument doesn’t matter to me anymore. Voices and lyrics are instruments too, so this goes for singers as well. If the selections of notes, harmonies, dynamics, <<and rests>> a player makes don’t evoke some sort of emotional response out of me (joy, sadness, laughter, nostalgia, fear, etc.), I’m just not impressed nor interested.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m discovering new music from younger artists and bands all the time, but what they have in common is that their music and musicianship expresses more than just their technical proficiency at their instrument; they’re showing me something that transcends the song.

“Boomer” bends from Gilmore on his strat live as a part of the entire soundscape of Pink Floyd’s albums, for the better. They’re triggers of ennui, nostalgia, and longing, with just a few notes. If you think his playing style is only about pentatonics, I don’t think we’re hearing the same thing.

But I do agree with a different commenter, in that the most “OK, boomer” guitarist is Ted Nugent, by a country mile, as they say.
