You load 16 gigs, and what do you get? Sudo apt update && apt upgrade, Admin dont you call on me, cause I can't compute, I owe my soul to the LLM.

You run 16 gigs, and what do you get?

A pile of bugs and technical debt

Copilot don't ask ask for tokens cause I don't got no 'mo

I sold my soul to the Microslop store

Booted up one morning when the sun didn't shine Looked through my Windows none of the software was mine

I paid 16 subs for what I need to run

And shareholders said "See now that's how it's done!"

(Refrain)

It was a torrent one morning saw it was made outta bits

On an 8 gig stick and with Rufus it fits

Wiped my hard drive clean and I was ready to go

Left the Microslop store for the Trixie repo

(Refrain)

Omg this needs to be turned into a proper cover/parody of the original song. Would be amazing and popular i am sure.
