Dark Arch Linux Teen Years

remembering the dark time when I was 15 and using arch linux with i3 on a thinkpad x220 and de googled android phone. My primary web browser was a weird old fork of Firefox (Pale moon) with the JavaScript turned off. I wrote my notes for AP US history class in vim synced w git

A tweet nostalgically recalls an extreme teenage tech setup: Arch Linux with i3, a ThinkPad X220, a de-Googled Android phone, Pale Moon with JavaScript disabled, and notes written in Vim and synced with Git. The joke is that this unusually austere and technically obsessive setup is presented as a “dark time,” parodying the stereotypical /g/ user experience and hacker elitism.
