My server with 2.4 kernel would like a word with point 4?

“Mange tror at internetdiskussioner er sunde. Det er et indtryk vi har arbejdet mange år på at kultivere så vi kan påvirke folks meninger uden at blive opdaget i det. Vi fik blandt andet Tom til at lave denne video blot for at få mig med i den!”
[Cut back to Tom]
(Undergirded ever so slightly by a Raspberry Pi but don’t mention it)
[INTRO]
Tom Scott (with his characteristic enthusiasm): “Hello, lovely internet denizens! Today, we find ourselves in a comment thread, delightfully jesting about my propensity to dive into the oddest corners of knowledge. From the physics of shoelaces to the mysteries of quantum buttered toast, we’ve covered it all!”
[SMILE AND NOD]
Tom Scott: “Now, I can already predict a few of the replies that might pop up here. ‘Tom, why not delve into the intricacies of a potato chip next?’ Well, who knows, that might just be on the horizon! And yes, someone will undoubtedly ask about the physics of a cat’s purr. It’s been on the list for a while, folks!”
[CONFIDENT NOD]
Tom Scott: “But you know what they say, the quest for knowledge knows no bounds! So, let’s keep the laughter rolling and the curiosity burning. What’s next, you ask? Well, that’s anyone’s guess! Stay tuned, stay curious, and let’s keep this adventure going!”
[OUTRO]
Tom Scott (looking bemusedly at his busily buzzing phone): “Well, it seems the replies are pouring in already! I might be here for a while trying to keep up with all your brilliant comments. But hey, that’s the joy of it, isn’t it? The learning never stops! Keep those questions and suggestions coming, and I’ll do my best to tackle them in the videos to come.”

VSCode? Is that an Emacs extension? Or is it for vi?
Ah yes, the clusterfuck of the 20th century is the lode stone
Also Pripyat isn’t that bad.
Yes yes, we know people don’t understand statistics.
Neat. There’s hope in the world yet :-)
I have software dating back to 2003 that I need to support. X11 isn’t going anywhere.
Full height sidebar - from Mac OS 7 or so - must be modern?
Bellamy, desperate for help, had tried applying for cash assistance from the state of Utah. But she’d been denied for not being low-income enough
So she tried a different avenue that was not the state.
That different avenue might be coercive and have strict demands on who can receive money and for what, but it’s not tax payer money.
Depends. Does she know about my wife and kids?
Religious people try to do good
… And you took that personally.
My country doesn’t really support IPv6.
How can someone claim to be a communist if they’re still eating every day?
