you’re beyond socks at that point, you exclusively wear body stockings

I get that it’s memes and all that, but are there a lot of programmer/linux-socks wearing folk? I honestly have no idea.

Also, considering how alive the meme is, it’s kinda weird that eg. arch’s support-store only sells like stickers and shirts, not a single sock :D

“32GB is 32GB” is the new “20 bucks is 20 bucks”?

as the other commenter said, but worth echoing:

• is it suddenly using npm to install/run something? (iirc this was the attack vector for most packages that were infected)
• suddenly added some weird extra wget/curl/whatever to packaging methods to fetch something weird?
• are the package’s sources (eg. github urls) legit?

Generally you should be aware of who’se software you’re installing -> check if it’s downloading the stuff from right place, and nothing extra. The PKGBUILD changes in the aur website are pretty good indicator if something has changed and how.

edit: npm itself, or it’s usage isn’t bad - but it is quite suspicious if the AUR package isn’t for some webapp or so.

flashbacks from a time when I alone was essentially the entire IT at work (small company, yay). Had to uninstall HP apps from a laptop, there were like ~50 of them and each of questionable purpose. Most of the uninstall attempts said “Error! Can’t, because HP [other app] requires this”… Eventually, through trial and error, I managed to find the proper order to uninstall them all, and it took hours.

It would have been faster to just wipe & clean install windows, but user didn’t want to setup all his stuff again so… :|

Anyway, the laptop was WAY more usable after uninstalling all that crap.

You’re obviously using a wrong distro. Beatings will continue as planned.

Just a hunch, but it’s not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

Learning about random internet-users’ kinks…? I guess there’s worse ways to spend a friday :D

I’m not entirely in the know either, but I’m assuming it’s about holding a dick, and it’s some kind of domination/powerplay thing (like the “step on me, mommy”) that MANY on the internet seem to be into.

But, I’m just guessing.

when in doubt, assume it’s a sex thing. Seems to work with basically all of these “I LIED, instead of [x] we do [y]”.
