France is being pretty cool. I wish we had des couilles in Finland.

Well, at least we generated Linux itself somehow and then completely failed to keep it here. I still remember how little adoption there was at the start, and how almost everyone who was using Linux back then was regarded as some sort of an idiot savant.

I mean I was an idiot savant, but not because I was using Linux.

We all have been idiot savants at some point of our lifes :)

Eh, you can't be spending 100% of the time supporting nazis, so once in a while you forget to destroy democracy and you mistakenly make a good decision. So yeah, I guess France is only at like 95% now.
