Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Neckbeard”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Neckbeard, and these people have it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

He should, yes. The only computer with OSS BIOS. Which got stolen in Argentina (?). Unfortunately the thieves couldn't get online via wifi.

If I recall correctly, a few years back, he was using a T60 with Debian. That's probably when this photo was taken. (Why do I know this? I should get outside more.)

Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
Uhum, a T60, do we see it right that there's a clit over the 'B'? (It should actually be over the 'V' ;) )

Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
I apparently can't see that well. You perhaps are correct...but this looks like an IBM logo to me, which is why I was thinking that he used one before the Lemote YYYYEEEEEEEEYYYong, or whatever the hell it was.machinebacon wrote:Uhum, a T60, do we see it right that there's a clit over the 'B'?

Anyhow, back to neckbeards. ;)

GNUgori Emacsputin (RMS name: RasGNUtin; when running on ARM: RaspGNUtin, when released as OS: Rasputix, when released under the FLOSSGNUOSS: RasGNUtix, etc etc].
RasGNUtin was neither a monk nor a saint and never officially connected to the Orthodox Church, but was considered a "strannik" (or pilgrim) wandering from clistier to clistier.

Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
I may be being pedantic, or may be missing something obvious, (or even both) ..... but aren't these all 'beards' rather than 'neckbeards' ?
All the same to a pogonophobe - but crucially different to a pogonophile.

Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
As long as it covers the neck it is a neckbeard, no matter if it covers the lips :D
A short neckbeard is a beard and a short beard (also called "shortbread") is a mustache. And a short mustache is a "Penisface".

Re: Favorite neckbeards through history
If we are going for personalised definitions - then I have a lip beard (which lesser people sometimes refer to as a moustache - pah!), a chinbeard, a cheekbeard, a neckbeard, and sometimes an earbeard (it comes with age).
I no longer have much of a headbeard, sadly... the age thing again, I think.
