A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

TRINITY, n. […] The Trinity is one of the most sublime mysteries of our holy religion. In rejecting it because it is incomprehensible, Unitarians betray their inadequate sense of theological fundamentals. In religion we believe only what we do not understand, except in the instance of an intelligible doctrine that contradicts an incomprehensible one. In that case we believe the former as a part of the latter.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Trinity,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Aujourd'hui je suis allée à un festival de laine et de tissus ! J'y ai fait de belles rencontres sympathiques et acheté de jolis tissus.
J'étais contente de ma journée quand une folle furieuse m'a agressé verbalement et presque physiquement parce que je lui aurais pris sa place pour utiliser les outils pour transformer les écheveaux de laine en cakes ...
Elle m'a balancé un tas d'insultes et en particulier que j'étais RACISTE !
Je suis resté calme et courtoise mais cela m'a blessé !
Pourquoi les gens font ils cela ? C'est la 2eme fois que cela m'arrive je ne comprends pas ! #racisme #pourquoitantdehaine #agressiongratuite #incompréhension

Dear #Linux before breakfast friends, 

Why use, not use or amuse #Penguin #empowered hardware? 

Here is my #stirring #story from Windows to Linux user, be interested in ‘earing yours? 

I am #familiar with many #versions of Linux. The first one I tried was #Slackware which I installed from an already out dated #CD. It took me 5 weeks to sort of get a browser (#Netscape I seem to remember) on half the screen. I was #curious and my computer friends looked at this rather pathetic display with pity and #incomprehension. What madness was this? 

I continued, getting Linux Magazine and realising I could barely understand 5% of what was being discussed.

I was a beginner again. So began #distro #hopping with very condescending ‘help’ from the penguinated.

However …

One pre alpha distro was able to provide me with advice on my numerous #questions. Eventually I settled on using this distro, once I got it working at speed. Puppy Linux. 

#Puppy was small, VERY fast and continually different. As far as I was concerned if a distro was slow, why not use Windows or Apple? 

I still distro hopped but worked very hard for much of the required donkey work for Puppy. I was #fascinated by programming languages but not much of a programmer. So it was mainly #Wiki, #forums and helping #noobs, which is were Puppy became much friendlier and usable. 🤣

After many #experiences, too many to go into I am now using a rolling release, #Manjaro, #Raspbian for my #Raspberry Pi’s and one olde computer with Puppy. Barry Kauler who created Puppy is now working on #EasyOS. However I am retired from new experimental distros. Now I prefer my Windows free #choice as I move towards #FOSS. Free and Open Source Software.

Quite a ride … How is yours going? 

Je ne suis pas suffisamment sociable dans la vie réelle pour comprendre quel est le schéma de pensée des gens qui viennent s'assoir juste à côté de toi dans le car alors qu'il y a 10 places vides devant.
Ma manière d'y répondre, me déplacer sur une de ces places vides devant #incomprehension
