Him being a pretty smart guy overall surely has at least some sort of continuity planned.

That was an interesting read, thank you.

The man is a swedish speaking Finn originally, it kinda comes with the territory. We might technically be a minority but we’re still as Finnish as the rest of them (to a certain degree at least).

He’s not a giant asshole, he just doesn’t sugar-coat everything he says.

It’s sort of a defining trait in people where he is from. If we say something we tend to say it straight. He might be a more extreme example than most, but I had a good friend from the same neighborhood and he was the same.

We grew up a few years later when he had already moved to the US, but we used to sneak smokes in the park right outside where he first made Linux. My friend lived in the same building as he had done, but he was so computer illiterate that he had no idea who Linus was. I did, though, because Linus described that place pretty well in what I believe was his first book.

Fuck, didn’t know Mitnick died. Just married and with a child on the way, too.

He was arguably at his best at social engineering, too. Don’t know if it’s a real quote, but I remember reading about him saying it can bypass all your electronics, firewalls included.

That typo made me chuckle way harder than it should’ve, too.

Microsoft still supports AoE2, and that game is going on 22+ years. Some of the other stuff they’ve released has been a bit hit and miss, but they at least tried to do something fresh.

I’ll take that over ActiBlizz dropping support for the SC2 pro scene for no good reason other than “profitability” any day.

Hell, maybe they can fix WoW classic while they’re at it, and say what you will about the guy but if I understand correctly even Chris Metzen is coming back.

That’s what the saunas are for, tho. Nothing beats a good winter.
