Who is Linus and why does he Torvalds

@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah, that’s a interesting story actually.

See, when he was a little kid, he fell a lot on his head and had quite a few concussions. The Swedish word for concussion is “torva”, so they decided to change his sirname in order to scare the concussion daemons away. And that’s why Linus can Toldvalds and why he’s the only one that can Torvalds.

Minnels,

As a Swedish person i just learned a new word.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Glad I could help 😊.

spez,

Wait, isn’t he Finnish?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, I think he’s Swedish, he just studied in Finland.

MonkeMischief,

You could say he Finnished his studies. 😎

Evil_Shrubbery,

What’s the penguins name?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lemmy.

Evil_Shrubbery,

Lemmy Kowalski, the famous musician-engineer??

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, Lemmy Kilmister.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

no

@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Wait, I plan on entering the music industry too, with the exact username that I use on this site. What if people accuse me of copying Mr Kilmister? Am I gonna be remembered as an absolute piece of shi-

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can always catch them off guard by using the Lemmy logo as an avatar 😉.

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, no.

The avatar I’m currently using is actually related to my username in one way or another. Just do a reverse image search, and then spell the first word of my username backwards and you’ll understand what I mean.

So I’m basically a loser from the fediverse.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well, you’d be the first loser musician, I can tell you that much 👍.

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

👍

Evil_Shrubbery,

Yes, that was the “musician” part of the reference. The engineer part was to bring it back to bird form.

ma1w4re,

Under Ubuntu based distros, which package fixes Clangs ability to find C++ headers in Vscode

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

The clang-find-cpp-headers-in-vscode-dev package.

ma1w4re,

close, its libstdc+±12-dev 😔

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, some distros have the acronym instead of the full name.

What’s a fork?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s an eating utensil.

GregorTacTac,
@GregorTacTac@lemm.ee avatar

How is Android a “fork” of Linux then?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Linux is an eating ustensil for Android… I don’t get the confusin.

GregorTacTac,
@GregorTacTac@lemm.ee avatar

So I eat android with Linux? Sounds about right

CaptPretentious,

What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.

laurelraven,

One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3

This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Correct!

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Explain this

laurelraven,

That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

But it’s 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn’t it?

laurelraven,

Not at all! Since it’s half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.

It’s really quite simple, I don’t see how this could be confusing at all…

  • The creepy pedo command can be used on any file, except PDF.

Regarding the rest, I think I have to call 911.

nandeEbisu,

How do you exit vim, and more importantly why would you even want to exit vim?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You click on the X button. You’re done doing whatever it is you people do in this so called “vim”, and you close it, simple.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No questions on how to exit vim 🤔 🤨?

Crashumbc,

I haven’t used vim since collage (I’m currently a aarp member) isn’t it “cntrl-x” ?

ReveredOxygen,
@ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works avatar

that is nano

Crashumbc,

Pretty sure nano didn’t exist in 93’ oh well

gentooer,

But pico did and nano is built to emulate pico.

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Because the people are stuck in VIM

bhamlin, (edited )

From another terminal:

ps ax | grep vim | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs – kill -9

nogrub,

the only way to exit vim is to unplug your pc

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Correct!

rxin,

How do I exit vmacs?? my coworker must have played s joke on me

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You press the X button.

The community told me that using Arch would turn me into a cute femboy. It’s been a decade and I’m still as large and hairy as I was back then.

My question is who should I sue for this false advertisement?

IHateFacelessPorn,

Oh fk now thinking about it, me starting to use an Arch based distro and starting going to laser epilation pretty much happened at the same time period. Save me…

0x4E4F,

Can I interest you in showing you the ways of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ?

0x4E4F, (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Linus. He is responsible for making Linux, in general, so Arch had to use that kernel. If Linux never existed, you might’ve naturally become a femboy.

Gingernate,

Linus, as in tech tips right?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, Linus as in sex tips.

Gingernate,

Hahahahahahaha I can’t imagine tech tips Linus or torvalds linus having any good sex tips 😂😂😂

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well, for people that don’t have any sex tips, they sure are good at fucking around with us.

Pwnmode,

I installed arch last night and woke up with nail polish on.

bhamlin,

Sorry, this is a kerning issue. Cute FERNboy.

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, there is a little colony of gnomes sitting inside the machine. They are the ones doing all the heavy calculations. The bitcoin boom burned out so many of them it’s a total disaster. Currently you could consider them kind if endangered I guess.

0x4E4F,

Why is Windows playing nice with Linux nowadays?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

What do you mean by nice, it doesn’t play nice at all, check all the “😭😭😭 Windows update broke GRUB” threads.

JargonWagon,

This post and your replies are amazing.

How can I Linux?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can Linux with your frineds, with your coworkers, with your gf/wife/mistress… just about anyone that knows what a gagball and a buttplug is, but would like to take that experience to another level.

JargonWagon,

Perfect response as always. Thank you. Hearing about my friend’s job having some difficulties where there was some update on a Linux based device at stores and it’s causing all sorts of issues at the stores. I’m sure he would agree with your statement right now.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Meeh…shit happens, I know what it’s like as well 🤷. To the best of luck to your friend, may he troubleshoot without distractions… or some, from time to time, just to clear his head 😉.

AwkwardTurtle,

How many boot loaders do I need to boot the loader?

GladiusB,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

42

0x4E4F, (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

To boot the load, you only need one bootloader, and that is your prostate. Have no idea how women boot the load.

21Cabbage,

Why did I have to burn multiple install CDs before finally getting one to work back in 2013?

Gimpydude,

For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90’s

stoicmaverick,

I think you have a little bit of solder flux stuck in your gray beard on the left side… No, other left.

21Cabbage,

Weren’t floppy’s relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?

Gimpydude,

Floppies were very rewritable, but the distro wouldn’t fit on a single one.

21Cabbage,

See but I’m talking about burning an install CD for Puppy and having it just straight not work and the solution being “just burn another one” like CDs were cheap for a 13 year old.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Good thing floppes were dirt cheap back then.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Because not all distros work with their respective boot floppies. I gather you finally realized that in 2013.
