I feel like if I’m pronouncing any Linux package for the first time, there’s some tongue-in-cheek “um, actually” trap hidden just around the corner for some self-righteous geek to correct you with a big smirk on their face because they get to feel smarter, which I used to be guilty of, but try to cut back on as much as I can these days.

It’s a fun joke at first, but I kind of got tired of it after a while, and just decided that politely educating in context and ignoring it otherwise feels way nicer.

I’ve never seen a Jonangi before, but they’re so pretty!

Yeah, I tried the same many years ago. Problem was that I had a super tiny car in a big city where everyone speeds all the time, so it never gave me a discount because I was always speeding and breaking harshly.

How can I be a smooth driver when no one else is? It also dinged me for driving at night when I was doing a volunteer job in the evening while my day job was WFH. Such BS.

Yeah, I figured all the parts talking about losing files were jokes. All the new guys know about unrm. Also useful is ssh root@[remote] unshutdown

I certainly don’t discuss the movie after and enjoy the shared immediate experience of the details being fresh of a movie that none of you had seen before. All these decades of people watching movies together just don’t make any sense… 🙄

Same. Mint was at the start too, though.

Ah, I saw this and was thrown off because I grew up on a farm where the hose was used for everything. In thinking about it, my better judgement wouldn’t consider drinking from the hose I keep at the apartment for a second, even if I’d been using it all day 🤢. That sits for months at a time gathering who-knows-what.

I used awk for the first time today to find all the MD5 sums that matched an old file I had to get rid of. Still have no idea what awk was needed for. 😅 All my programming skill is in Python. Linux syntax is a weak point of mine.

I dunno. I feel like the fact that it’s able to reliably simulate 10^[1] particles in realtime since the beginning of time, I’d guess it’s not running on Windows at least. But I also have a hard time it’s Linux because someone would always be messing with things and it would have needed to reboot for some reason or another about 6 or 7 times. Maybe the 7 days God spent building Earth was just time spent on building the server config lol.

😢 AOKP was king. I miss all the extra silly features they packed in. You could make it look almost nothing like Android by the time you were done.

It is my most treasured movie. I paid $120 for my Blu-Ray copy in new condition and don’t regret it one bit. They’re still going for $80+, even used.

This is actually a really crucial concept when it comes to actualization and enlightenment. There’s a very brief scene in Waking Life that explains this beautifully: https://youtu.be/Lj7JmBoUtBM

Set yo boundaries yo! I agree with what others are saying here. Turn them off! No one needs to know if you’ve read jack. And if I had someone skulking online status and expected me to be available based on that, I’d nip that in the bud quick. I’m available when I respond and say I’m available. Otherwise, tough luck.

You are the only one in control of your availability. Let others know.

But this was at the top of my feed…

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never girned before.

Block All Cookies. Every time. Don’t need that junk, thanks. Although my browser just does this for me now.

At first I thought this was going to be a joke about asking the landlord instead of the tenant.

You might look into some Zachtronics games. Both ExaPunks and Shenzhen I/O require their paper manual counterparts to be played.

Thank you OOP for shielding my eyes from such smut as

*GASP*

”kinky”

Had one for three months before the gas tank rusted through and couldn’t get a replacement. Loved that car ❤️
