I generated lore where a collection of people ran the @linux account, notably the most misbehaving used an iPhone, the "other people" publicly bemoaning them
think about it! tay can only be so horny but linux is unbounded! also there has been less ponyposting, which I assert is because the linux account scratches the nihilism itch
1998, I'm a new tech reporter for a Canadian trade. Sat on the same couch as Linus Torvalds at a doc management conference for 10 min. We chatted. I didn't know who he was. He left, reporter comes in all "Oh, you must have gotta scoop!" That day I learned what Linux is. (Dimly, like a cave shadow.)
To be clear, the other reporter gave me a vague description of something like sounded like "Imagine Windows was DOS." Linus and I just talked about the weather.
I once sat down with Guido Rossum, unknowingly responsible for Python — which I thought was just some kind of snake. I had no idea who he was other than we had a nice conversation about anything but nerd stuff. Nice convo.
I never used Twitter. Does the account still exist? If so it might be time to tweet that you've moved onto Bluesky and it would be good to no longer post on Twitter because it's not a propaganda and spy tool for Elon Musk.

what/who inspired you of this?
Reason for asking: I work for these folks. We’re a Siemens partner and all North American class 1 RRs but one have our systems.
