It's mostly okay, but I managed to set up my login account without sudo abilities and apparently can't even set them in root, so...yeah. I'm working on it. It'd be nice to have a random media laptop though. I almost ran out of space on this little old MacBook Air thanks to downloading a few of my audiobooks, and that was terrifying. But, okay, while Blueberry Spicehead (the name of my Debian laptop) is slowly getting everything in order, I am on Marina (the name of my MacBook Air) and going to learn about Bitwise Operations and BigInt. Bitwise OperationsOh no, this is going to be like the heavy-duty high-theory binary-filled…
