If it were true womansplaining, her dialogue alone would take 2 hours before finally getting to the point. Before that time, 90% of the readers would have given up.
i use gnu/windows btw
Cygwin on Win7 back in the day was pretty close tbh.
You’ve triggered my working with GameCube/Wii through Cygwin PTSD.
Uhm actually you mean ligmaballsnux
Meanwhile I: “What’s GNU?”
Nothing much, what’s GNU with you?
Take my upvote and kindly get out. Please.
Not UNIX.
Without the mention of mansplain and womansplain this would be funny
hey look its the guy from the meme
I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking for example.
So, if I notice it, I’ll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I’m saying.
And most coworkers do the same thing.
Here’s why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment. Even if they are more knowledgable than them.
And that’s weird.
If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I’m fine with snark if it geht’s a point across.
Is it bad if I tend to do this except to everyone because I don’t generally expect people to know the same specific stuff as me?
No. If it’s everyone, then it’s everyone and at worst it’s not the most efficient way to communicate.
I would say, if you single out a group of people based on physical characteristics, then it gets weird.
But if it’s “The internet won’t start” vs “Every packet on port 433 is dropped even though no firewall rule is set”, then I think it’s reasonable to make some asumptions and adjust communication accordingly.
I love the examples!
Oh yeah definitely. With that second one, is be requesting explanation for myself!
It’s really just that when I start to say anything about anything I’m interested in, I get a “why do you think I know anything about that?” a lot, so I shifted gears to the opposite early in life. I go explaining all the things involved with what I’m talking about before I get to the point and people think I’m tangential.
That’s fine. It’s proof that both exist and one is deadly.
Software now has some kind of gendered avatars? This is all very very confusing.
tbf that is the exact image I have of whoever made the original gnu+linux post without the alpine comeback
99% of the [thing]_official accounts on tumblr aren’t real, they’re just people pretending to be official accounts at varying levels of commitment.
the post popular one is probably osha-official who committed so hard they got a misdemeanor for impersonating a US Governmental service
OP I love your display name <3
i should clarify i am not the person in the screenshot lmao
I mean your Lemmy display name, the bear kaomoji (⬤ᴥ⬤)
oh! i forgot about that, thanks!
Honestly? Fuck rms. :D
He wouldn’t mind if children did …
The alternatives to the GNU tools are largely permissively licensed, yeah? What could possibly go wrong with that…
…People who wanted to donate their software to the public with no strings attached could see an uptick in the number of users?
People making those comments don’t realize that much of the desktop Linux stack is MIT/BSD licensed anyway. It’s also not like those “permissive licenses bad” people would delete all such licensed software from their system because the result would be unusable.
The number of users being those who would rather leverage the software for free, and then resell a walled garden version with proprietary extensions.
That’s the beautiful thing about gifting software with permissive licenses (when one wants to): it’s a gift and anyone can do whatever they want with it for free.
ETA: I DO think that it is important for one who chooses to license software permissively to be informed about their decision and its implications. But, just like consent in other areas, as long as one enters into it intentionally and with the understanding of what the license means, it’s noone’s place to judge (and, like consent in other interpersonal areas, the license can be revoked/modified at any time - with a new version). Honestly, really weird of those that take issue with individuals choosing to gift their software to humanity - there’s way more interesting and useful things to engage in in the FLOSS landscape.
If the proprietary extensions don’t add significant value, nobody would buy it in the first place.
LLVM and Clang make massive strides over GCC thanks to its license. If it weren’t for many of the infamous “GNU’isms”, GCC would have dies years ago.
wow, I could read and entire book of this. It’s a new genre of erotica I think. Very high quality
I am so scared and aroused

Do you want the pegging scenes to be implied or graphic?
Yes.
Can it be implied that they’re very graphic?
No, a real linux user only needs a cli
So, not graphic, just verbose.
pegging -v
Not verbose enough, needs the -vvv
Parts of 4chan’s take on the Big Bang Theory may fit the bill:
Laughs in LLVM-compiled kernel.
What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?
All the core tools are actually a single executable with many symlinks to it, which makes the distro very compact. This makes it very nice as a base for Docker images.
I don’t know if people use it on desktop but with its minimal size it’s convenient as hell for docker images that don’t need a lot of dependencies installed
I used it on a laptop for a while. Pretty impressive just how lightweight it is, but a bit of a grind to initially get everything working as expected. Overall, I’m a big fan.
I know it’s very efficient and small (I believe it needs less than 80mib of ram with nothing else running) and that they leave out some of the basic commands like man to save space. Maybe they wrote more minimal versions of some coreutils?
RAM usage depends on what you run inside the container not on the image size. If the container runs a single small program it will use a small amount of RAM regardless of the image it’s based on.
I specified that it would be running nothing (other than the init system which is the tty). Thereby the amount of ram required should not vary by much.
It’s because we can to an extreme. Extremely lightweight distro. Very nice in containers and vms. One of the most loved ones out there.

Alpine is the way
This is fucking gold
It just replaced GNU parts. It’s a classical Theseus ship dilemma. It’s still GNU.
What? If you replace Windows with free alternatives, it’s still Windows? You still owe Microsoft money?
I’m sure Microsoft would be supportive of that point of view. And with their wealth and lobbying power … … Lets not mention it again, and hope for the best.
I’m suddenly having flashbacks of the whole SCO fiasco. And people older than me probably have flashbacks of the BSD/System V lawsuit.
I mean, this thing is fun to argue about, until you remember people used to argue about this in court.
How dare you remind us of SCO.
