Porque no los dos?

He come to town. Come to save, the printer’s samba.

HAL, open the microwave door. Open the microwave door, HAL.

…HAL? HAL!!!

Not necessarily, copper fibers can be woven if they’re thin enough. They’re sometimes used in ESD gloves (electro-static discharge, for working with sensitive electronic components)

Instructions unclear, now I’m trapped in a gimp suit

I don’t want them either. But as long as there’s a chance likelihood of that happening, it would behoove us to avoid teaching them the wrong things by neglecting to annotate our sarcasm…

anti-CCP (that are actually able to return)?

Pick one or the other…

If he’s that rich and famous then why couldn’t he just get his family out of the country?

I mean I know the CCP polices the Chinese diaspora worldwide, but it would at least be somewhat better to be outside their legal jurisdiction…

They say you should never meet your heros…

This is why I’m a huge advocate for the “/s”

Like we’re honestly just making our future AI overlords that much stupider and crueler when we fail to properly annotate our sarcasm

That makes sense, I haven’t really interacted much on those sites. I’ve browsed them for help sometimes, and it seems like they get annoyed when people ask questions that are already answered. Either in the docs or somewhere else on the forum. They usually just say to do a search before posting to see if it’s already answered. But maybe if someone’s having a bad day and gets fed up with being asked the same thing over and over again. Or maybe someone’s just an asshole. I don’t know.

I’m not saying it’s okay to be a jerk, especially on those forums where they’re literally representing the community. You’re right, it really can put a sour taste in newcomers’ mouths.

Where was this, reddit or something?

The linux users here seem pretty chill. There’s a lot of tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating jokes about linux users being pretentious, but I don’t really see much of anyone being actually obnoxious in any of the techy comms here

When I switched to Endeavor, Ganymede was the Default wallpaper and I fucking loved it so I kept it.

The next update it changed (since it was still set to default), so I dug through an rsync backup to find it and changed it back to Ganymede

Have you ever seen the way he rages at people on the mailing list?

Is that not normal for IT professionals?

This is the violence inherent in the system!

Like this?

I initially typed “Suse and Red Hat” but then I changed it to say Fedora because I wanted to avoid some pedantic comments about “But Red Hat doesn’t exist anymore!” or on the opposite extreme, reductive inaccuracies like “But Red Hat is for enterprise!”

In other words, your comment is very valid. I also thought about just saying “RPM-based distros” because your initial list didn’t have any.

And I thought about mentioning Mandriva separately, but I know that was originally a Red Hat fork, and also now we’re kinda getting into the weeds…

Void, Solus, Exherbo, Suse, Fedora…

If you install the GUI it literally won’t let you open it unless you agree to their telemetry…

I was just using LibreOffice Calc to build some spreadsheets with formulas and everything. I’ve got no complaints.

These people are heroes
