AVincentInSpace,

Well I don’t like it so it shouldn’t be here.

tell me you’re a conservative without saying it lmao

AVincentInSpace,

Of course things are going to break if you take something that’s meant to be installed per-user and open up one user’s installation to everyone else on the system. Not Brew’s fault your company’s IT used it outside spec.

AVincentInSpace,

It still leaves sysvinit as an option. Debian doesn’t lock you into systemd. Heck, it doesn’t even lock you into Linux – you can use Debian on top of the FreeBSD kernel if you so desire

AVincentInSpace,

Well said. I’m saving this comment in case I need to explain this to someone else.

Do you believe that Ben Shapiro is merely speaking his mind when tries to argue that allowing children to transition will increase the suicide rate when literally all available data about trans children shows the exact opposite? Do you believe that Steven Crowder is merely speaking his mind when he “proves” global warming is fake by showing that Antarctic ice levels are higher in October than they were the preceding August while ignoring the steady downward year-over-year trend modulated by the seasons? Do you believe that Donald Trump was merely speaking his mind when he called for his followers to march on the white house, or, more recently, called immigrants vermin?

AVincentInSpace,

Levar Burton voice But you don’t have to take my word for it.

AVincentInSpace,

Technology Connections, and all his videos are as good as that one

There’s a built in domain blocker with various tiers, e.g. one blocks ads, the next tier up blocks ads and porn, next one is ads, porn, and gambling etc.

I can’t help but notice that they put “Fake News” in a higher blocklist tier than “Social Media”

AVincentInSpace,

That would be a challenge for sure. IIRC Terry Davis was quite proud of the fact that his OS supported neither network nor sound

yeah, snaps, that’s the only thing holding Ubuntu back

not dpkg and by extension apt being a flaming dumpster fire that will corrupt the package database if you look at it funny and there being no way out of that other than an OS reinstall

not the fact that there are zero tools for managing dependencies when building a program from source and you’re entirely on your own when it comes to what *-dev packages you need to install

not the fact that Ubuntu is one of only two distros out of the hundreds that are out there where you can’t use the computer while it’s installing updates

not Canonical’s general policy of “hey, this technology seems pretty cool, let’s find out whether it’s good or not by forcing it on all our users and seeing if they complain” (see: miri display server, cinnamon desktop, and of course snaps)

not the fact that there are ADS IN THE GODDAMN TERMINAL

not the fact that it’s a Linux distro that thinks it’s smarter than you and does something other than what you told it to based on what it thinks you meant (see: apt install firefox installing the snap) which IMO negates one of the primary reasons to use Linux

no it’s snaps

snaps are the problem

AVincentInSpace,

Did I say Cinnamon I meant Unity

AVincentInSpace,

man I WISH I spontaneously turned into a unicorn every time I shed a tear

as long as you don’t try to pass it any flags, that is. M$ defined ls etc. as straight aliases to the equivalent PowerShell commands that have their own flag system, so if you ls -l it will puke

It is also the version control system that uses sqlite which is pretty cool as far as disk space and resiliency are concerned esp. as compared to Git.

I don’t however like that it prides itself on not having any history rewriting features because I am kind of a fan of those. I like keeping embarrassing mistakes like a typo’d commit message or missing file out of my permanent commit history.

AVincentInSpace,

Fossil, GNU Bazaar, SVN, as well as some other lesser known ones

AVincentInSpace,

I like how the jokes get progressively better the more layers you go away from the original post

AVincentInSpace,

yeah and it can call itself whatever it damn well pleases, the fact remains that such repositories are only as good as the communities that contribute to them and I’d wager that whatever you’re talking about will never at any point in the future have as many packages on it as the AUR currently does

AVincentInSpace,

daily reminder that no one is forcing you to look at it and that telling people not to enjoy what they enjoy is generally considered uncool

unless of course you see it when googling their name in which case why is safe search off

no shade for being a hater but the block button is right there
