Lol, I actually switched to GNU/Linux when Windows was just a MS/DOS application. Windows 3.11 had just released when I began using tutorials on usenet to build my own GNU/Linux installation. X Server was another story. It took literally weeks to download all the code successfully and For a very small while I used a bare bones X Server with no DE or WM. Boot magazine (now Wired) distributed a stripped down copy of Debian on their complimentary CD on one Issue and I finally got to try out Gnome and KDE which were both in their infancy. At first KDE had my attention, then as both matured, as I pretend I did as well, I learned to love the elegancy of simplicity and now I favor Gnome.
Have a great day!
I-told-you-sos are considered to be preening, so how do you make people remember what you said and see the proof so they change their minds without doing it? This was all predictable, and predicted....

And they believe this is a weakness, when it is actually sciences greatest strength. In order to learn one has to accept what parts we do not have right.

That is the idea, you should be full (satiated!). If you are hungry all the time you are going to overeat. Carbs leave you hungry and you end up eating more, even though you have already consumed way more calories than you need. Meat and fat satiate you and you do not feel like eating more. So it is not a struggle to not over eat.
We officially live in a dictatorship. This illegal, unconstitutional bullshit will let them use anything you've *ever* said that could be construed as being a negative statement on Christianity, our government, or capitalism is now their tool to watchlist you and use it to punitively exclude you from air/train/bus travel, banking, credit, government benefits, education, etc...

why would you go through all that? If you are concerned about someone knowing what your user name is for some reason then just rewrite the motd like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
figlet "Hello" | lolcat -b
fortune -a | cowsay -f dragon | lolcat -bI am not exactly concerned about people knowing what my user name is. There is no way they can use that in any scenario to effect me. I literally use the same name here.
In any case dropping the $(whoami | perl -e 'print ucfirst(<>);') (as this is the code that retrieves and displays your username with the first letter capitalized) out of the first figlet line will prevent the script from displaying your username.
The original motd I shared with you:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
figlet "Hello $(whoami | perl -e 'print ucfirst(<>);')" | lolcat -b
fortune -a | cowsay -f dragon | lolcat -b
Worth Reading
Though I am typically more concerned with philosophy and sociology I have a fondness for C. G. Jung. I particularly recommend one of my favorite books on self-perception.

Last week this man stated that the current regime could kill any terrorist they liked with no due process. Today, he revealed that the government believes it can designate any American citizen as a terrorist, also without due process.
Follow the steps, and you see the endgame...
A book club. Where we sit in a circle and read out loud, chapter by chapter, the C Programming Language, 2nd Edition. And at the end of each session we stand up and call out names of Open Source and Free Software written in C without which our modern society wouldn't run. Dress code: 1970s.
After the reading session we gather for food and drinks in a room full of whiteboards (no computers!) where we discuss what we heard. With real code printed out from the projects we named.

Homemade Bratwurst
I have become extremely disillusioned in regards to any processed food. Though I love sausage. In order to keep on enjoying my fatty little treats I have to make my own. It is really no big deal and I know the quality of the product used in it. I use no chicken lips 😉.

in reply to Acta Populi • •I am thrilled that you are now using alt text. Though in this case I believe I would have put what Noam Chomsky was saying in that text. It seems far more relevant than a description of the picture itself. For the visually impaired:
"The smart way to keep people
passive and obediant is to strictly
limit the spectrum of acceptable
opinion, but allow ver lively
debate within that spectrum -
even encourage the more critical
and dissident views. That gives
people the sense that there's free
thinking going on, while all the
time the presuppositions of the
system are being reinforced by
the limits put on the range of the
debate." ~Noam Chomsky
means a lot more than a description of the the image.
