  • The point is old money is not showy compared to new money. New money is Lamborghinis, modernist mcmansions and private jets. Old money is low key, they don’t want to get clocked as being rich. Maybe they drive an old mercedes or wear ordinary clothes, but their friends know they have a controlling interest in a huge corporation, their own private island, etc. So sure, ordinary people can replicate much of the ‘aesthetic’, because its about rich people not wanting to seem rich.











  • nixos, same as the last 10 years. more packages than ever on it, and I’m better at wrangling nix stuff now for my own packages.

  • I’m using it! But only for a week or so. Definitely a skill and not something you can be fast on right away. I’m just getting to the point where I can type some things without looking at the keyboard. Was pretty slow at first, still a little slower than the normal keyboard. I seem to be still in the ‘rapid improvement’ phase so hopefully will get ahead of the normal keyboard soon.
