somewhere in one of my parents’ photo albums is a picture of one of these that i put together in 1st grade in ~1992

everyone thinks they can pull it off just fine, but believe me, it’s not a bad bet that your IT dept knows better than to bend to someone just dangerous enough to be a problem. it’s probably happened before and that’s probably why the policy is in place.

no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.

a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they’re doing will have a fine time.

itunes also has that in its EULA.

a modern sidekick would go so hard, discord kids would absolutely love it.

i’m really tempted to get a clicks communicator if it doesn’t suck.

it’s not for everyone but it definitely doesn’t suck. it gives me a feeling of wanderlust that no other game can (except maybe elite dangerous, but i don’t play that).

i have often found myself needing to manually update packages on distros like fedora or debian because i need a newer version that hasn’t landed in dnf/apt yet. arch doesn’t have that problem. ymmv, obviously, it’s not going to be an issue for everyone.

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).

the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yeah but there’s also been plenty of times i’ve been just screwed on windows where linux would have let me just go fix it myself, so that’s still “linux is the best thing ever” for me.

you forgot --no-preserve-root.

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

it should surprise nobody that a project owned by anthropic is turning into slop.

every time i see a gallery of this guy’s comics posted, they start out innocuous like this, then invariably they start becoming blatant far-right propaganda. every single time. the guy’s a chud.

two different screenshots of the same guy doing the same bit on the frontpage right now. somebody’s self-promoing, lol.

this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.
