Can you imagine attempting to clean this

I mean the dude is literally Jewish and pro Israeli, it isn’t even surprising he would have an L take like that

10/10 roast in the comments

Sounds like a good way to get a yeast infection

It’s a shame because my 11yo laptop runs beautifully on X11 but terribly on Wayland with KDE. I hope the issues with Wayland optimization work out on my laptop before I’m forced to switch

KDE + Arch is such a great combo. I’m using it on a 10yo laptop (though admittedly it’s a rather beefy lappy for it’s gen, a 2014 ZBook g2, with 32 GB ram)

KDE can be slow on lower spec devices but it is so great to use and it was trivially easy to alter keyboard shortcuts, default application, startup behavior, etc.

Help I am being attacked.

My world simultaneously viciously hating Arch when something breaks, then absolutely loving Arch, then hating it again when something breaks, then loving it again

Flawless comment, agreed with every word you said. This script is digital herpes

Something else, all of the GNU coreutils have their own info [command] terminal command, and often the info page is incredibly easy to read, full of example pages and highly granular descriptions of flags, error messages, and the like.

Do you think the realtors who sell these properties, when they learn of the place, go “ah fuck” or get excited?

I was very satisfied with Bash for a long time until my friend got me using Zsh. I still am not sure i need Zsh over Bash honestly. Command autocomplete is obnoxious

Absolutely agree, the wholeapt-get upgrade (or however, I always messed it up!) was annoying to me, and I switched to an arch distro (Endeavour) and I’m super happy with it. It’s my only machine and it is awesome

Coulda thrown a couple ls -las around and he woulda been golden

Fun fact: Nepenthes is entirely unrelated to American pitcher plants, and in fact both of these are entirely unrelated to the Australian pitcher plants, Cephalotus. Pitcher carnivory has evolved independently at least three times, and arguably more.

Nepenthes, Nepenthaceae, Caryophyllales (cactus order)
Sarracenia, Sarraceniaceae, Lamiales (mint order)
Cephalotus, Cephalotaceae, Oxalidales (oxalis/sourgrass order)

I added a line to my /etc/bash.bashrc:

alias shutup="sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm && poweroff"

So when I tell my command line to shut up, it auto updates and shuts down

I really think there is no problem here. There is one side that screeches, “We need more people in Lemmy! Lemmy is too obscure and hard to use! We need better UX and less techno-babble when people are trying to sign on!” We also have the opposite side saying, “Fuck the normies! I want my federated server @tek.know.kult for the most austere obscurantists only!”

Let’s be real, guys. If your federated server is weird and obscure, the normals are not going to really encounter it, and they’re not that into all the federation beef. They want to go to lemmy-website.com, put in a username and password, and fuck off to look at funny memes and rage at news stories.

I would say I am at least on the right side of the bell curve when it comes to tech literacy, maybe even the top quartile, and I only sort of understand how the Fediverse works, and no offense guys, I don’t really care that much. I looked at Reddit for the funny memes and to rage at news stories, and when they took my favorite app away (Sync for Reddit), I couldn’t be fucked to get advert-aids on the official app, so I jumped ship. Lemmy is just a bit less engaging, just a bit less addictive, and frankly I’m perfectly happy with that. Huzzah for having a bit more of a doomscroll-life balance.

People will come along with FOSS as well as CS options for joining the Fediverse, things like Threads and Voyager and BlueSky, and the culture of Lemmy will shift likewise. The great news is that with Federation, it will be easy to create islands of autists and weirdos to keep their purity cults as funny as they want them to be, and I think that’s beautiful.

I immediately said “oh God” out loud

Love the floating lampshade

You’ve triggered my childhood terror of these fucking things

Endeavour has been an amazing distro for me, noob Linuxer. I started on Ubuntu Cinnamon, then tried Mint, and ended here on Endeavour and I love it.
