I decided to corrupt my system by going into twitter and
found out it has nothing to do with Linux.

Going to a Twitter/X link "corrupted" your system?! What kind of

A joke, the browser put twitter/X into cache and history :)
My poor poor system, I may have to use shred :)

Says the genius who "ruined" his GPU by watching a video. Then you completely fucked up your computer by trying to replace the video card.
And you are laughing at others. Take a good, long look in the mirror.

I think it's not about "corrupt system", it's more like if someone
posts stuff from X/Twitter, he should quote it. Here there's
nothing to quote, it's just a video of two Blacks fighting.
Also, I doubt they're arguing about Linux, so I don't see how--
this is related to Linux group topics.
You could see the same in every UK based traveller camp. Or indeed, I suspect, white trash trailer park.

Not to mention those people with jobs that pay so little as to keep
them out of other housing. There are a fair number of the houseless
who work for a living but cannot get into an apartment or house due
to the very high threshold for rent, security deposits or down
payments. On my Social Security if I left this place i might never
be able to find another place to live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Strictly travellers are Irish itinerants who exist mainly by theft
and scrap metal dealing and are distinct from Romanies who are
actually of different ethnic origins. And speak a different language.

I worked in Ireland for a month or 2 in the mid 80s for the
mini-company I was at. I remember people there talking
about these people, but I thought they were called
"tinkers", but could have been as you said "travellers".
Is my memory correct about "tinkers" ?

Sort of. A tinker is an itinerant mender of metal pots and pans.
But we don't use that term any more. Another one is didicoy. or
'diddy', who are half breed Romanies.
