Geek or nerd?

[vergil96]

Do you consider yourself a geek or a nerd? Why?



I'm not sure, probably a bit of both.

I didn't know there was a difference?

I just ordered the "Lego" version of the Ghostbusters Firehouse. Does that make me a nerd or a geek?

I got a funky Fujifilm Instax camera for my birthday. Is that geeky or nerdy? This is a much more complex issue than I could ever have appreciated.

O o o o! I got a PicoFly modchip for my Switch Lite. That's nerdy right?

 

[vergil96]

I run everything from terminal and use Vim, execute commands and speak C++, that's nerdy And there's a ram in my PC

Watching "Revenge of the Nerds" left me with a permanent reticence to ever refer to myself using that word.

I'm a geek....building my own PCs. So sue me. As if anyone cared anyways....

Based on this diagram, I think I am a DORB (mostly dork with a touch of dweeb).

I still recall in "Stargate" when Kurt Russell referred to James Spader as a "dweeb". It wasn't kind.

Somehow I could never see Kurt Russell in a role like "Sex, Lies & Videotape".

Going by the Venn, definitely nerd. Would have said that if I hadn't seen the diagram.

Interesting. It works for me!

 

[MildredHubble]

I'm thinking I may lean towards DORB too. I didn't appreciate this was a spectrum. But I'm learning

I’m both, interchangeably, at all times!

I run everything from terminal and use Vim, execute commands and speak C++, that's nerdy And there's a ram in my PC

I run everything from the terminal, use vi, execute commands, and compile from source. On Linux From Scratch. On an underclocked Raspberry Pi!

Like The Venn diagram, Nerd is me.

sudo nano

I think I tried Vi once and it didn't end well

Once live-patched VMS on a running Vax 11/750 by writing to memory locations with mods I had worked out by reading the OS assembler code and binary on microfiche. Where does that put me?

In The Matrix...!

How about visudo?

interchangeable I think. Geek / nerd maybe suggests serious interest in tech? My serious interests include music equipment (bass n keys). internet security. Stock n bonds. European history 20th century political, economic, military. That’s it.

My current rabbit hole is the current global situation with the ridiculous behaviour of the US. It will be a source of fascination and horror for the next 24 to 36 months. Maybe opportunity’s as well?
