Is there a single Lemmy client this doesn’t break? Jerboa lists your account creation date as “4 centuries ago”. Guess it can’t handle negative time deltas
Holy crap, dude, take a hint. Nobody wants to look at your racist strawman bullshit. This is the third time you’ve posted this and the third time you’ve gotten cussed out.
it always bothers me when people compare sudo to a game of Simon Says. It’s not waiting for you to say the magic word, it’s asking if you’re sure you want to do something that could potentially damage your system. It’s no more Simon Says than a Windows UAC prompt.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t make a big deal out of this, but teaching novice Linux users that their new OS just likes to play Simon Says with them and that if any command fails the solution is to change nothing and run it again with more privileges strikes me as a remarkably bad idea, and like a really easy way to trick newbies into running malware since “Linux doesn’t get viruses”
Wile I agree that it’s not Wayland’s fault, I also think that people acting like X11 was obsolete yesterday and everyone should immediately stop using it simply because Wayland exists, while that is still true, are not helping the situation any
The enshittification of Google results does NOT just apply to Google. Even if we don’t count the “engines” that use Google as a backend, like Startpage and Metager, every search engine nowadays has been indexing fewer and fewer useful pieces of content. Time was, if you wanted to find a comment on Reddit or Tumblr or what have you and you knew some part of it word for word, you could put that portion betweeen quotes and you’d find it immediately. Now you’ll just get nothing. DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Qwant, Bing, none of em’ll do it. Not even pushshift works properly anymore.
Do not get me started on the trash fire that is Searx. Hosting your own search engine sounds cool until you realize it means running your own indexer and only getting results from sites your individual instance has crawled.
Also, did you hear that Gigablast, the only open-source search engine apart from Searx, shut its doors for good earlier this year?
a single anecdote that could have been coincidence proves nothing bud. i’ve been running Arch for years and recently my laptop has been having some issues. the trackpad only works intermittently, the speakers will randomly quit halfway through a video, and lately it’s randomly shutting down with no warning when running a game. does that mean linux is terrible and nobody shouls use it cause it fucked up my computer and is a pox on all humanity? of course not. all it means is this laptop is a lemon. all those issues happen in Windows too, the once in a blue moon I have to reboot to run a game Proton doesn’t support yet; i’ve called a repair guy in twice to replace the trackpad, and both times the issue has completely gone away for a few months before creeping back again; the speaker issue gets triggered when the laptop gets bumped, so it’s almost certainly a loose connection; and i’ve all but confirmed the random shutdowns are thermal.
also, fwiw, i recently had to try to recover data from a physically damaged microSD card. plugging it into my laptop under windows, nothing happened. plugging it (via USB mind you) into the exact same laptop under linux and trying to mount it caused mount to lock up, requiring a reboot before it would do anything else involving filesystems.
am i still a linux fanboy? yeah. linux is infinitely better than windows for the things i need to do, most of which involve programming. but that doesn’t and shouldn’t mean that i believe microshaft winblows is the worst piece of software ever created and that arch is the one true OS that everyone would be using if only they would see the light (looking at you, Gardiner Bryant).
linux diehards get outta here. you’re making the rest of us look bad.
There are plenty of rebel flags whose literal stated purpose is not slavery. The red and black anarchy flag comes to mind. If anarchy is what they want to symbolize, why not fly one of those?
More to the point, we started this conversation because you said that repenting rather than digging his heels in was why the racer in the original post got canned. Do you think he was right to be canned? If so, are you saying that repenting is a bad thing?
oh, don’t mind me, i’m just over here using my graphics tablet that linux came with drivers for and which worked out of the box (including pressure sensing) as soon as i plugged it in, and printing on my printer which CUPS auto-detected and went from new laptop to printing in 30 seconds, and which i have never had any issues with
The problem is the fact that the documentation exists solely as a series of what are effectively chat messages, not what platform those chat messages are hosted on. Markdown files or bust.
