rwhitisissle,

Oh, okay, youtube drama. Thank you for letting me know it’s not something worth caring about, kind stranger.

rwhitisissle,

And potentially family. It’s a 4 door truck. It’s a transportation vehicle with a bed and slightly greater towing capacity than a sedan. Lot of suburban dads have these.

rwhitisissle, (edited )

For real, these things are basically minivans for suburban dads. The primary thing this thing will be hauling is kids to soccer practice. At Christmas time, though, he’ll go get the tree from Home Depot himself, instead of needing to have it delivered.

rwhitisissle,

Eh, your cheaper compact sedans are comparable. It’s definitely not great, but good enough. The front seats are comfortable, at least.

rwhitisissle,

This argument conflates belief with religious practice. The core similarity of both beliefs is that the universe is intelligently designed. And you can believe in the idea of a God without participating in any kind of formal religious practice. That “most” religious belief is wrapped up in a particular religious tradition is ancillary.

rwhitisissle, (edited )

Intelligent design is a broad, vague, and intensely mutable concept. It isn’t helped by the fact that there’s multiple kinds, with the pseudoscientific kind touted by the religious right in America and the more generic, very fucking old “teleological argument” which is also intelligent design at its core. To give a specific example of intelligent design philosophy that isn’t directly tied to a belief in a deity as an active participant, you can look at the deists, who believed that the universe’s fundamental laws were engineered by a kind of “clock maker” deity who left the universe running under its own principles but doesn’t have a direct, guiding hand in individual events. This is still a form of “intelligent design” and closely corresponds to simulation theory. At this point, you are redefining terms to suite your argument. Also, you can’t really say the world is or is not intelligently designed, as you have no evidence for either. The only truly “logical” position to hold for any of this is straight agnosticism.

rwhitisissle,

The US is clearly not facing their slavery past and instead avoiding the difficult and deeply disturbing vocabulary associated with it.

Certain individuals and organizations are doing this, sure, but then you have the monumental amount of academic research in the humanities into slavery, you have publicly and privately owned historical sites and museums that explicitly teach about the history of slavery in the United States, and you have a non-trivial amount of media depicting the horrors of slavery. It’s not a monolithic cultural rejection in the same way that a nation like Japan has attempted to totally erase any record of its wrongdoings in the first half of the twentieth century.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

rwhitisissle,

If you run Ubuntu on a production server, you better having snapd disabled.

rwhitisissle,

The ideological signifying here, though, is squarely situated within the language of American politics. All Lives Matter was a reactionary counter to Black Lives Matter, a distinctly American political movement. Similarly, “both sides suck” is something which has been repeated ad nauseam about American politics. As such, the meme suggests itself that it’s about American politics. At least that’s how I’m reading it. If the OP meant it to be about Israel and Palestine, I think they could have framed it better.

rwhitisissle,

I prefer to refer to him as “failed comedian Stephen Crowder.”

rwhitisissle,

This is an ancient opinion. People have been complaining about America’s two party system for literal centuries.

rwhitisissle,

Which is…still not an OS. It’s a distribution. Specifically, it’s a fork of Ubuntu. To reiterate what the OP was saying, they’re catering to the Windows audience, who understand the concept of a “new Windows version,” but who wouldn’t understand the concept of a distribution.

rwhitisissle,

Sounds like a distribution that they don’t want to call a linux distribution.

rwhitisissle, (edited )

An OS is the interface layer between hardware and software. It’s the first code that runs after the boot loader, and it exposes an API for syscalls that allow user processes to allocate typically restricted resources, while also tracking and maintaining those allocated resources, doing process scheduling, and a bunch of other critical tasks.

All distros are operating systems because they ship all the tools and utilities need for the system to function

All distros contain operating systems (or, more accurately, kernels), or, rather, are built on top of them. A distribution is a collection of curated software, along with an init system and, for linux, package manager, and, frequently, a particular desktop environment. These pieces of software are, on some level, superfluous. You can have an OS without them. They don’t comprise the OS as a distinct conceptual layer of a computer system, of which there is the hardware, operating system, application, and user layers. The operating system is just Linux - because that is the interface layer between the hardware and software.

Saying “all distros are operating systems” is like saying “all cars are engines.” It’s just wrong. And I don’t care what wikipedia has to say about it.

rwhitisissle,

I mean, there’s over a thousand linux distributions already and it feels like they just don’t want it to be another drop of water in the ocean.

rwhitisissle,

I don’t really understand the appeal of this. What command line software is there on MacOS that there isn’t an adequate equivalent to on Linux?

rwhitisissle,

It certainly demonstrates a profound lack of compassion.

rwhitisissle,

I never specified her forehead. And those things you mentioned also constitute a person’s appearance. I don’t care what her makeup or hair is like. I would never make fun of someone for those things.

rwhitisissle,

So you wouldn’t laugh at someone wearing clown makeup but otherwise acting serious?

I would assume they worked as a clown or something similar and were on their break. Also, clowns aren’t funny.

I say fair game to anyone that intentionally alters their appearance in a stupid way.

What you consider to be stupid is subjective. But you’re free to laugh at people all you want. Just like how other people can think you’re not a very good person for doing so.

rwhitisissle,

It’s not nice to make fun of someone’s appearance.

rwhitisissle,

To be fair, if we die, capitalism goes with us.

rwhitisissle,

This person is usually a complex combination of mean and stupid, blaming everyone else for being trash while they make the worst, most incompetent plays you’ve ever seen.

Source?

It’s me. I’m that idiot. Or…used to be.

rwhitisissle,

There’s a truly monumental amount of Simpsons cartoon porn. Like, just untold terabytes.

rwhitisissle,

It’s a product of its time and its popularity in part stems from the replay it got on cable. As such, this meme is pure millennial nostalgia. That said, you can always watch it and judge for yourself.

rwhitisissle,
