half_built_pyramids, Op isn’t answering shit
Just like Linux
Strider, Return code 0 is good.
0x4E4F, 
sh.itjust.works was having issues.
ryannathans, The irony
victorz, It works like shit
0x4E4F, (edited ) It really does 😂.
To be fair, it’s free, so I can’t complain 🤷… and it doesn’t happen often… like once every few hours…
DarkDarkHouse, 
sh.itbarely.works
mexicancartel, Shit.just.wont.works.most.of.the.time.but.not.every.time
0x4E4F, Exactly!
key, 
Why is it that ever since upgrading Fedora I need to restart the pipewire daemon every time I plug/unplug headphones or else media freezes?
Sheeple, 
Because you also need to install Trenchcoat for it to work
chaotic_disorganizer, Something similar is happening to me on Manjaro. Semms the newest pipewire update made it so it doesn’t auto-route devices to the main sound output anymore…
Pelicanen, One thing that works for me on Pop OS is to switch audio device in the settings, it’s like the buffer gets filled up and switching device flushes it.
possiblylinux127, Have you checked the logs?
0x4E4F, (edited ) Because the sound goes through pipes and you need to let them rest, otherwise they might burst from the sound pressure.
Psychodelic, Hmm… well that makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks!
0x4E4F, Join me for my TempleOS AMA next week 👍.
VinesNFluff, 
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 ) 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, No, Linus as in sex tips.
Gingernate, Hahahahahahaha I can’t imagine tech tips Linus or torvalds linus having any good sex tips 😂😂😂
0x4E4F, 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.
TootSweet, Should I dual boot?
laurelraven, I don’t recommend it, the more boots you use the heavier your computer will be. I’ve got mine down to half a boot and I’m working on getting it down to a quarter.
lseif, some clearly hasnt heard of a bootless system
0x4E4F, lol 🤣🤣🤣, this one is better than my answer 🤣.
0x4E4F, Of course… what sane person doesn’t wear both boots 🤨.
makunamatata, The ones that wear one boot inside another. Only a single boot on each foot suffices.
thecrotch, People missing a leg
0x4E4F, Yes, that will be the only exception I presume.
DarkDarkHouse, People missing two legs
Siegfried, That people does not boot, so they don’t count
muhyb, YARRRR
cmgvd3lw, (edited ) Was linux created by linus tech tips?
Sheeple, No it was created by his good twin Linux tech tips
Steamymoomilk, this weeks episode is why you should compile everything from source
0x4E4F, Because… what sane person doesn’t…
uis, 
Who waits for family reunion?
0x4E4F, Yes… most probably.
acockworkorange, Linux sex tips
0x4E4F,
sleen, What’s the cp command?
Sheeple,
brckd, it sends your files directly to the communist party of china
0x4E4F, It does creepy pedo things on your files.
acockworkorange, Except for PDF files, they’re kindred spirits.
0x4E4F, (edited ) Yes, they’re the only exception, though there are efforts to get them working with the cp command.
makunamatata, Which one is it?
“Ask me anything about it and I’ll try to answer”
OR
“Ask me anything about IT and I’ll try to answer”
0x4E4F, Take your pick, I’m feeling generous today.
Sheeple, The clown
makunamatata, (edited ) Touché! I was thinking Information Technology, but you win with Pennywise twist.

Evil_Shrubbery, What’s the penguins name?
0x4E4F, Lemmy.
Evil_Shrubbery, Lemmy Kowalski, the famous musician-engineer??
0x4E4F, No, Lemmy Kilmister.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, no
Resol, 
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, You can always catch them off guard by using the Lemmy logo as an avatar 😉.
Resol, 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, Well, you’d be the first loser musician, I can tell you that much 👍.
Resol, 👍
Evil_Shrubbery, Yes, that was the “musician” part of the reference. The engineer part was to bring it back to bird form.
Threeme2189, Cardigan
Really_long_toes, Pingu?
ICastFist, 
Noot noot motherfucker
loudWaterEnjoyer, 
Tux
Evil_Shrubbery, Short for Tuxiodore? Tuxilliansen? Tuxander the Great?
loudWaterEnjoyer, (T)orvalds (U)ni(X)
pifox, What is “:(){ :|:& };:”
stoicmaverick, An alias for “sudo shutdown now”
ouRKaoS, An emoticon with a weird hat
NeatNit, which part is the face and which part is the hat?
victorz, Yep
EuroNutellaMan, 
A funny command that gives you free chocolate
makunamatata, Try it in your terminal and come back here to tell us the results
laurelraven, A text based Rorschach test. That one is clearly a mouse chasing a cat.
0x4E4F, That is what happens when none of your alphabet keys on your keyboard are working, but you still wanna communicate online.
uis, Emergency breaks
southsamurai, 
Can Linux be used as a sex toy?
Hellmo_Luciferrari,
southsamurai, Jfc!
unlawfulbooger, If you want to hear someone talk about penetration testing (heh) these things:
DEF CON 27: Adventures in smart buttplug penetration testing (semi-NSFW obviously)
Artyom, Good thing it’s written in rust. Memory leaks and race conditions are my two biggest fears while buttplug shopping.
0x4E4F, Yes.
latca, What is a bootloader and why would anyone want to load boots?
BleatingZombie, You load your boots after installing Java in the the morning
0x4E4F, Cuz… where else are you gonna put your load 🤨…
sounddrill, Ayo? 🤨
0x4E4F, No no no, you have to stir it to become ayo.
Hazrod, Why do Linux users hate Nvidia?
0x4E4F, Because Nvidia hates Linux users. They’re just returning the favor.
Tartas1995, That is surprisingly accurate
VinesNFluff, That’s literally just correct. Are you sure you don’t know your Linux lore?
0x4E4F, I know nothing!
Rustmilian, 
What are programmer socks?
0x4E4F, They’re socks that programmers usually wear when they’re out, not programming, because everyone needs socks when they go out. But, programmers felt underappreciated if their socks are called just like everyone elses socks, so they changed their name by adding programmer in front.
uis, Programming-improving device
makunamatata, They are soft material artifacts that protect and warm up the programmer’s feet.
Prunebutt, Can you explain network sockets to me?
0x4E4F, They’re just regular sockets that do most of the work… the net thing is just added to complicate things.
Archer, As a network engineer I can confirm
uis, Now what about network socks?
0x4E4F, You wear them when networking.
jaschen, So someone suggested to me that Linux is amazing for gaming.
I decided to split boot and installed Mint and attempted to play Forza Horizon 5. It literally runs like a potato. Also my Logitech steering wheel doesn’t work and has major input lag.
Since you know so little about Linux, my question is what are you having for dinner?
0x4E4F, Have no idea, still haven’t had breakfast…
AProfessional, I don’t use a wheel but FH5 does work well here.
jaschen, I think my Nvidia mobile 3070ti card is being funky. I think I got it to run better after trying some ideas online, but there are lag spikes and the steering wheel still didn’t work. Just deleted Mint and decided against Linux gaming for now
AProfessional, FWIW i played it on Linux launch week on a 3080, it actually crashed less than on my Windows install. But that’s fair there are a lot of variables that could cause issues.
nogrub, i gues you use an laptop with that i guess you have an integrated gpu and one for offloading that leads to my question do you use prime-run ?
jaschen, I was getting Prime-run not found. I forgot what else I did, but finally got it working. The lag spikes made it a bit unplayable esp since this setup is for my dedicated racing simulator.
