@theorytoe Is that you installing Firefish and suddenly realizing that you don't have Node.js 18 installed? 🤭
@adiz
Shouldn't there be something like "dpkg-reconfigure -f" to force it recreating the default config files? I don't remember much about Debian, but I think it's something like that.
@maxleibman
What about learning about Watchmen from Zack Snyder? 🤔
@talia_christine
@kevinrothrock I wonder how Chubais is doing in Israel? 🤔
@yukiame
Well, I guess Xzibit memes aren't even required in this case 😆
@Rezard Это на тонком тесте по бабушкиным меркам или уже нет? 😂
@DiogoConstantino
I mean if you take the ability to understand how things work out of equation, why should "normal" users switch at all? For ideological reasons, because tech-savvy people like us think that free/libre software is cool? But that's unfair to "normal" users — if they are only going to look for fixes online without understanding what they are doing — they are probably just as good as with using Windows 🤷
@brunomiguel
@DiogoConstantino
Sure! And I agree with you, "normal" user shouldn't know about how things work under the hood, but if he wants, he should be able to. Modern Linux systems go so complex that I seriously doubt it's even possible, with Windows it's impossible without that expensive MSDN subscription, so it's still worse, but in current state of things — not much worse. Using Linux system might have other benefits, e.g. for privacy — but is that it?

@charlie_root Man, that's really fucking sad 😢
@charlie_root
Soon you will only have dual working families — just to make ends meet. Women will get their right (an obligation now) to work and you will have full families again — just so your children have food on the table and a place to live! And your elites can keep milking both of you and kept doing so while you were fighting over whether dying you hair blue is good or not. Everybody wins! 😂
What a wonderful time to live in!

@vriska No!
misdm7 is the best custom Quake map ever made, you won't prove me otherwise! Be-be-be-be! 😝
@brunomiguel It used to be IBus for input, now it's something else, it used to be dconf, then gsettings and it was just a bunch of XML files before that — everything always changes, makes no sense and drives me nuts! I've tried using Ubuntu recently, but ended up scrapping it and installing Void — at least I understand how it works 🤷
But you're still probably right about the idea behind that video: he didn't mean this, it was made precisely to brag about using Arch 😅@DiogoConstantino
@brunomiguel
I have zero understanding how modern Ubuntu works under the hood: okay, I want this command to be run when my computer starts, where do I put it, rc.local as usual or would the be run too early? Naybe I should make that service descriptor file for systemd or maybe I should run it when my user session starts — how do I do that? Then, the upgrades: it used to be GNOME shell, then Unity, then GNOME shell again, how are they different, what should I know?

@brunomiguel
That's because you're going to install it for him and you will make sure that these things work. If the person new to this does that himself and something doesn't work as expected, chances are high that with "user-oriented" distros they will never figure it out how to fix it themselves. I started using Linux circa Redhat 3 (not RHEL) and things were much more simple at the time. And when something didn't work I was just trying to figure out how it is supposed to.

At times I fail to realize that a lot of stuff online is done precisely to spark controversy, until I came up with a response to that, but then I'm like: "Isn't that exactly what they want?" 🤔
@jt_rebelo @brunomiguel
@Nika2022
Same here, not a fan of them, probably a huge non-fan even 😏
But this album is decent, Idioteque is a great track IMO — not like a masterpiece, but good!

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
