If this has been addressed already please let me know and I'll delete this. I'm just passing the word. This is the painting you're thinking of, probably, if you recognize the Kier painting but you don't know from where.
Season 2, episode 3, k3rnel-pan1c, around 16 minutes in, there's a man on the subway singing opera while holding out a coffee cup that says "Lost My Money And My Mind" What opera is that? Are you seeing this too?
In the first episode. The first time Elliot meets Tyrell, and Tyrell surprises him by talking shop about Gnome vs KDE.
I've never used Linux, but I've always felt like it's sort of a rite of passage into "true power-userdom" to build a PC and put Linux onto it just because that's possible, and mess around with the command line and things like "vi" or "vim" or whatever.
Is there some crucial difference between Gnome and KDE that Elliot picked up on immediately, that I didn't?
Something that clues Elliot in about Tyrell being more than your average corpo-zektiv who happens to run Linux?
Is KDE more difficult to work with than Gnome? An older legacy edition of Linux, to indicate Tyrell has been familiar for longer than Elliot has?
I very clearly remember a scene in a later episode, where Tyrell and someone else compare their watches, and how if you know your high-end watch brands you got a lot more out of that scene than someone who doesn't know watches - but is this a smaller version of that scene, translated into Linux-user terms?
