MajorHavoc,

Was reading this to my SO, and was given a correction for Quark: gets Rom to pay Quark for the privilege of returning Quarks cart.

MajorHavoc,

I missed the “PornHub” in the corner at first. Maybe I won’t share this with colleagues…

MajorHavoc,

Agreed. PornHub is probably a pretty solid representation of all web traffic. --Todo: insert obvious joke here–.

MajorHavoc, (edited )

Yeah. I don’t know if the ‘follow’ piece does anything useful for anyone.

But as a professional developer, I have found that my GitHub account now prevents me from getting asked FizzBuzz at interviews. So whichever bit is causing that nonsense to stop, I hope they keep.

MajorHavoc,

You forgot this –force flag.

What are the differences between linux distributions?

Hey guys! Trying to understand what developers actually do to create a yet another distro, or what are the differences between existing distros. Lets say we have ubuntu and fedora. What are the differences? Excluding DE, Installer, theme, installed packages/libs and package manager. They both are FHS compliant, both running...

MajorHavoc,

Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?

Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn’t a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.

But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.

A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a “portable app” either doesn’t use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.

If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there’s a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There’s lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.

For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.

.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point…

Source: I’ve built installer packages for various operating systems.

MajorHavoc,

But now it’s supposedly because I’m old and not because kids are fucking stupid.

As the saying goes, two things can be true! 😆

Source: Am old, and but I’ve thought kids are stupid since I was a kid, myself.

MajorHavoc,

the only truly unbelievable thing about the whole story is they’ve got a guy wearing a red suit and he doesn’t die.

Picard applauds

MajorHavoc,

If I’ve learned anything about Jeffries tubes during the holidays, it’s that they probably contain a federation officer who got stuck ‘doing a “Die Hard”’ on some terrosists.

If I had a nickel for every time that happened…well I would have two nickels. But you have to admit, it’s interesting that it happened twice.

(I can’t actually name episodes, but I know I’ve seen this plot at least twice.)

MajorHavoc,

I hope this becomes a recurring gag, for the rest of the run of C&H.

I may memorize the whole series, and quote one line of it at a time around my friends, as an unrequested update on the news from my friend “Cliff Hanger”.

I’m counting on this to finally give me something to contribute to gossip sessions.

MajorHavoc,

In case of lack of sarcasm - The EMH is played by Robert Picardo.

MajorHavoc,

So accurate it almost merits a spoiler tag. Lol.

MajorHavoc,

I heard they tried to fit node_packages, but the scale caused the sun to become too small to see.

MajorHavoc,

Mind blown… Everything else… Also blown up.

MajorHavoc,

I think what we have here is a misunderstanding. Whatever his sexuality, Garak is clearly just a plain, simple, tailor.

MajorHavoc,

“My father deactivated my emotion chip, because he believed that the algorithm was flawed due to its inability to recognize what he called ‘top tier humor’…”

MajorHavoc,

Billy Crystal did kind of outline a prototype Ferengi…

“If they’re all dead, there’s only one thing you can do - go through their pockets for loose coins.”

MajorHavoc,

Yeah.

During the Klingon scenes, I just want someone to rush down the corridor with silly string and water balloons filled with neon shades of paint.

I get it, their Klingon society is feudal, and on the brink of even more war. But they could still try letting some natural light in. If nothing else, their plants will live longer.

Oh gosh, I just got the joke in The Orville about the Klingon-equivalent race being extremely light sensitive. I don’t know how I missed that before.

MajorHavoc,

Picard looking stern

“Belay that order!”

MajorHavoc,

It’s perfect!

I’ve wanted to see someone make this since the first time I heard “engage the tractor beam”.

Of course, I was probably like 5. Then again, my humor hasn’t progressed that much since then anyway.

MajorHavoc,

Joking aside, Lego makes sets that look like houseplants now, and they’re fantastic.

So…I guess I’m in this comic, and I’m okay with that.

Edit: Drat. I accidentally outed myself as a dinosaur.

MajorHavoc,

Yeah. Losing a beauty/style contest to David Bowie shouldn’t really count.

MajorHavoc,

Daniel Radcliffe. Since I watched Swiss Army Man, I’ve decided that I would watch anything with him in it without even questioning it.

That is an excellent plan.

  • Miracle Workers is a national treasure.
  • Weird: The Al Yankovich Story is ridiculous perfection.
  • The Lost City is much better than it has any right to be.
MajorHavoc,

the slaves were treated very badly so when they got the slavers they didn’t give them a very nice time.

I may be reading into it, but I wonder if that’s that generations way of saying they beat the shit out of the slavers before turning them over to the authorities, without admitting to anything specific.
