I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

BUT

My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.

This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.

The One I’m Using :tm:

rebbit dot cum slash arr slash linux circlejerk

Edit: Also looks a bit like the ‘reduce reuse recycle’ symbol if you squint.

It can but it’s useless

It only works if the browser tab is focused.

Not very useful as a PTT key.

Em espírito, eu concordo contigo

Olhando lógicamente, não teria sentido, já existem tantas Distros, metade das quais são só forks de Debian e/ou Ubuntu que mudam quase nada. :S

Make them use an old, abandoned distro.

Like Brazil’s own Knoppix fork Kurumin.

Feito.

Eu suponho que seja meu dever nacional postar essa conversa nessa comunidade. Quer algo específico na Print?

A barreira de linguagem torna um pedido por um tipo específico de musica em uma sugestão imprópria envolvendo o Raul.

There’s a commentary about class divides in needing administrator rights to touch grass.

April 20th, last year.

The question now becomes why did I do that.

Yes with one caveat

I don’t remember when I made or chmodded this grass file in my home

I just saw it in the directory listing, went “why did I do that”, then chuckled and said “I’ll post this stupid thing on the internet”

There was a thing you could do with cat /dev/random into aplay, and get some fun “Music” but you needed some other parameters to get anything other than brown noise.

Create file -> ChMod it so it’s unchangeable by me -> Touch file

I have no idea. I saved it ages ago and just post it whenever GNOME is mentioned.

Hey it’s okay, some of us get our masochism kick from butt-stuff. Some of us get it from using tools from the 70s.

cfdisk is fine

Masochists use regular fdisk. No curses tui, just a command line designed in the seventies with engineers in mind.

Since it seems language AIs are going to become inescapable (not a fan, but if you can’t beat 'em…), make it a toggle so that users who want to can have error messages with different “personalities”, and those who don’t can just have the machinelike codes.
