Finally Got Sick Of Linux (Arch Btw) Bloatware And Got Ram Usage Down To 1 Mb

Finally Got Sick Of Linux (Arch Btw) Bloatware And Got Ram Usage Down To 1 Mb
Oh honey, someone just discovered MS-DOS and thinks they've achieved ENLIGHTENMENT. They stripped down their system so hard they went back to 1985! Because nothing says "I'm a power user" quite like running an operating system that predates the internet as we know it. The beautiful irony? They're flexing about escaping Linux "bloatware" by literally using an OS that can't even multitask properly. My dude has 64GB of RAM and is using 2MB of it like it's some kind of achievement. That's like buying a Ferrari and being proud you only use first gear. Also, the "(Arch btw)" in the title is *chef's kiss* – because even when abandoning Arch for DOS, they STILL have to mention they used Arch. It's not a lifestyle choice, it's a personality disorder at this point.

You know those ominous comments in config files that say "DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE" or "TOUCH THIS AND YOU'RE FIRED"? Yeah, Linux treats those the same way Sabrina Carpenter treats paparazzi—complete and utter disregard. You can scream warnings all you want, but when push comes to shove, that config file is getting modified at 2 AM because something broke and StackOverflow said to change it. The Tux penguin just sits there with that smug expression, knowing full well it's about to watch you destroy your entire system configuration while ignoring every single warning comment left by the previous sysadmin who quit three years ago. Pro tip: those warnings exist because someone before you learned the hard way. But you'll ignore them too, because we all do.

Same Thing

Same Thing
The classic "they're the same picture" energy, but make it career anxiety. Society loves to pretend Math and Computer Science are two distinct paths leading to different destinations, but spoiler alert: they both funnel straight into the unemployment arrow. The goat standing there judging your "free choice" is basically every CS grad who thought they'd escape differential equations by learning to code, only to realize their degree is just applied math with RGB lighting. Plot twist: neither degree guarantees a job, but at least with CS you get to be unemployed while knowing how to center a div.

Nice Achievement Btw

When your LinkedIn profile is so barren you're out here listing campus tours as education credentials. "Stanford University - 45 minute campus tour (Was not accepted)" is the professional equivalent of putting "I know a guy who knows Python" on your resume. The brutal honesty is actually respectable though - most people would just leave it vague or conveniently forget to mention the rejection part. But nah, this person went full transparency mode: "Yes, I was there. No, they didn't want me. Still counts, right?" It's like adding "Visited Google headquarters cafeteria" under work experience. The fact they even bothered to include the year makes it even funnier - like they're documenting their rejection for posterity. At least they got 10 experiences to show off, which is 10 more than my GitHub contributions this month.

Linux users when someone wants to uninstall a browser: *nuclear meltdown initiated*. Linux users when someone casually mentions nuking the bootloader: "yeah sure, go for it buddy." The duality of Linux support is genuinely hilarious. Uninstall Edge? The system treats you like you're about to delete system32. But messing with GRUB, the literal gatekeeper between your hardware and OS? Linux just shrugs with a penguin emoji. Fun fact: The bootloader is actually way more critical than Edge could ever dream of being. Without it, your computer is basically an expensive paperweight. But hey, at least you won't have to deal with Microsoft's browser anymore, right?

The eternal struggle between American and British English strikes again. You're knee-deep in code, everything's working perfectly, then you spend 2 hours debugging why your CSS isn't applying... only to realize you used "color" in your JavaScript but "colour" in your stylesheet. Or vice versa. The best part? Both spellings look equally correct to your tired brain, so you just sit there questioning your entire existence and career choices. Some say the real enemy isn't semicolons or merge conflicts—it's the Atlantic Ocean and its spelling conventions.

Finally Got Sick Of Windows 11 Bloatware And Got Ram Usage Down To 2.5 GiB...

Finally Got Sick Of Windows 11 Bloatware And Got Ram Usage Down To 2.5 GiB...
So you got tired of Windows eating 8GB of RAM just to show you ads in the Start menu and switched to Linux. Now you're flexing that sweet 2.5GB RAM usage with Arch btw (yes, they run Arch, of course they do). The real plot twist? They've got an RTX 3080 and a Ryzen 9 5900X with 32GB of RAM. Dude could run a small datacenter but is celebrating saving 5GB like they just discovered fire. Classic Linux convert energy—spending three days configuring everything to save resources they weren't even running out of. But hey, at least neofetch looks pretty and you can finally see your anime wallpaper without Microsoft Edge randomly launching itself.

The 'Perfect Date' No One Expected

The 'Perfect Date' No One Expected
Someone asks about romance and gets a LECTURE on date formatting instead. Because nothing says "I'm emotionally available" quite like having strong opinions about DD/MM/YYYY versus MM/DD/YYYY versus YYYY-MM-DD. The real plot twist? They're not wrong though. Other formats ARE confusing, especially when Americans write 03/04/2024 and the rest of the world has to play a fun guessing game of "is that March 4th or April 3rd?" DD/MM/YYYY eliminates the chaos and brings order to the universe. Who needs candlelit dinners when you can have properly structured temporal data? Romance is dead, long live ISO standards!

Microsoft Certified Html Professional

Microsoft Certified Html Professional
The classic interrogation format where someone keeps inflating their job title until they're forced to admit they just make webpages. Starting with "I use AI to write code" (very impressive, very 2024), escalating to "I develop enterprise applications" (now we're talking six figures), and finally landing on the truth: "I make webpages." It's the tech industry equivalent of saying you're a "culinary artist" when you microwave Hot Pockets. Nothing wrong with making webpages—someone's gotta do it—but let's not pretend your landing page for Karen's yoga studio is the next AWS. The "Microsoft Certified HTML Professional" title is the cherry on top. HTML isn't even a programming language, and Microsoft definitely doesn't certify you in it. But hey, put it on LinkedIn anyway. Nobody checks.

Most Expensive Christmas Tree

Most Expensive Christmas Tree
Someone really said "let's take thousands of dollars worth of RAM sticks, circuit boards, and what appears to be a CPU topper, and turn it into festive office decor." The sheer audacity! The financial recklessness! The commitment to the bit! Nothing says "Happy Holidays" quite like a Christmas tree that could've been 512GB of DDR4 running your production servers. But no, Karen from accounting needed something quirky for the desk. Meanwhile, IT is over here running Chrome with 4GB of RAM like peasants, watching their precious hardware modules get hot-glued into a pyramid of pain. The real kicker? That CPU on top is probably worth more than the actual star on the Rockefeller Center tree. At least when your code crashes this holiday season, you'll know where all the backup memory went – into arts and crafts hour.

I Am The IT Department

I Am The IT Department
Oh honey, you sweet summer child recruiter. You think you're hiring ONE person? Bless your heart. You've basically listed the skill requirements for an entire Fortune 500 company's tech division and slapped "Full Stack Developer" on it like it's a cute little job title. Backend? Check. Frontend? Check. Three different databases because apparently one wasn't enough trauma? Check. The ENTIRE AWS ecosystem? Sure, why not! Oh and while we're at it, throw in system administration, containerization, orchestration, AND test-driven development because clearly this mythical unicorn developer has 47 hours in their day. The punchline hits different because it's TRUE. This isn't a job posting—it's a cry for help disguised as a LinkedIn post. They're not looking for a developer; they're looking for someone to BE the entire IT infrastructure while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: $65k and unlimited coffee).

YouTube's algorithm just delivered a tactical nuke to your programming career. Getting recommended "Not Everyone Should Code" while you're already watching coding tutorials is like your GPS suggesting you turn around and go home mid-journey. The algorithm looked at your viewing history, ran some calculations, and basically said "yeah, maybe try pottery instead." That concerned cat stare hits different when you realize the machine learning model has seen your debugging sessions and decided you need an intervention. Nothing says "imposter syndrome confirmed" quite like an AI actively discouraging you from your chosen profession. At least it's polite enough to frame it as a recommendation.
