get home from work in the United Soviet States of America in 2024

thirty hour weeks are tough, but I get more vacation days than most people in order to make up for it

boot up my home PC, an Electronika 9100 XMT

it’s located in my garage, in a standard rack mount along with its standard power source and network components

head to the terminal in my living room to actually use it

computer monitor makes a satisfying hum as it comes to life

see the logo for the default OS pop up

it’s a Linux distribution maintained by the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences

it’s good enough

go into Firefox, log onto my favorite website

it’s called Hexbear, it’s a pretty standard BBCode forum

see that I have a private message

a comrade is calling me a revisionist

they sent me a picture of a pig pooping on its balls
