      I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the “talking to people” department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don’t use Linux, said something (can’t remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a “ooooh, a linux nerd, let’s fucking go” energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave.
      We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.

      It’s a class that’s allowed to access another class’s private members. Obviously Linus doesn’t have any, because he codes in C.

        Private members aren’t actively blocked from external access; they’re passively marked “Access prohibited”.

        That means that rather than being unable to find the members of a class, C programmers simply can’t pick up on the signals telling them that they’re not wanted.

        (Fellow C programmers: I’m joking. :D)

      Another contributor who doesn’t have wildly differing political ideals from your own, I think?

      It’s a second user account on your machine. Of course, you don’t put them in the sudoers file.
