some_guy,

Oh noez! Now you’re actively feeding the Linux propaganda machine!

Congrats! Hope you enjoy your new device.

some_guy,

I grew up during the time when sex scenes on HBO and Cinemax were the closest thing to porn on tv. I can’t think of a worse sex scene than The Specialist, with Sly Stallone. It was silly and unnecessary. I even found it weird as a teen. That says a lot. There were many scenes like this in many films.

You can include sex without dramatizing / showcasing it. I don’t blame young people for finding these old tropes to be a digression. See my other comment about sex in The Sopranos to confirm that I’m not anti-sex in media.

some_guy,

You’re right, but you’re missing the forrest for the trees. Deliberately, I think.

some_guy,

I guess you didn’t watch a lot of mainstream movies on HBO in the 90s. They were gratuitous at the time.

some_guy,

It’s far lamer to shoehorn in a long sex scene that doesn’t make sense. See sex in Sopranos, as I mentioned. It’s not overdone. It happens and we move on.

some_guy,

Wait, can someone please link stats? Now I want to know.

I was commenting irl, just last night, about how I continue to enjoy the thing that replaced the old site.

some_guy,

It’s one of the best ways to avoid stupid shit.

some_guy,

You seem to have contempt for the people you’re describing. You would have had a winning comment if you had said the second sentence of the original comment and stopped. No need for the dismissive commentary.

some_guy, (edited )

I disagree. Someone who isn’t willing to try Linux on their own, or otherwise investigate, just because they’re curious is not ready for the baggage that comes with a new OS. Agreeing with another comment: don’t make this change at the same time as other major changes to your career. That is a recipe for disaster.

I’m a Mac / Linux guy who dislikes Windows. I wouldn’t even suggest getting a Mac at the same time as making huge career changes. And Linux is harder. Not impossible, but no training-wheels. You want something new, but you aren’t really interested in Linux itself.

ETA: That last statement was unfair. Apologies.

some_guy,

Yes. Homebrew and Asahi Linux.

some_guy,

Oscar Meyer products. I’ve never eaten one knowingly and I plan to keep it that way.

some_guy,

This scenario pisses me off as I debate how pedantic to be.

Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

some_guy,

I get that not everyone has extra cash to spend. I’m very fortunate to be able to throw $10 at a problem. I don’t begrudge you if you need to save cash (I have no kids to raise, for example). But I think $10 is fair if you search a bunch. Maybe I’m overvaluing it; I have heard great things about Kagi, but I’m still fucking around on Google cause it’s “good enough,” even though it’s in great decline. Fuck it, I’m a hypocrite.

some_guy,

This was the first actual out-loud laughter of my day. Thanks!

some_guy,

Holy fucking shit…

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

some_guy,

Was hardcore CentOS for years before the flucksterfuck.

some_guy,

You could not entice a teenaged me more.

some_guy,

We’ve been lazy pieces of shit longer than I’d realized.

New Fedora Slimbook 14" joins the Fedora Slimbook 16" - Fedora Magazine (fedoramagazine.org)

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

some_guy,

Clicked out of interest, then remembered that I want nothing to do with the Red Hat trains.

some_guy,

Sorry for not being able to offer insightful feedback. This caused me to look up current prices for 500GB spinning disks and holy shit. Something that used to be barely attainable (for me, then) is so cheap now that I said, “holy shit,” out loud.

some_guy,

This is the most-true meme of the year.

some_guy,

Half the reason I chuckled so hard. Tiny, new kitten. Old laptop from 2006. Great combo.

some_guy,

Directory of plaintext files.

some_guy,

Only four were damaged. I’d like more info on how / why they were preserved so well. This is pretty awesome. What an incredible find.

If only history wasn’t taught as boring in high school. It’s so damn exciting. New stuff to admire almost every day.
