In his newest (and worst) How Do You Do Fellow Kids moment, Mark Zuckerberg launches the Poob service, accessible exclusively through the Metaverse. What does it do? Fucked if we know.

adduser is an interactive wrapper for useradd. It can, for example, prompt the user to set a password rather than execute passwd separately. Very useful if you just want to manage a user without reading through useradd’s command line options, then running usermod because you forgot to set something.

It doesn’t excuse the bad naming, I’d rather have something like useradd --interactive, but it’s worth remembering.

I wish my one bad experience in 2015 had been the absolute last time Pulse failed for anyone ever. Alas, time doesn’t work that way, and Pulse remained failure-prone for years after my encounter with it.

Extremely frequently. Digital musical instruments generally don’t output production quality sounds – they output MIDI data that describes what note is being played, and an audio synthesizer device or software interprets it and generates the audio data.

Very mature. If you’re going to act like a toddler, I’ll put you in the timeout box.

For the record, your reply to my comment had no bearing on my decision, and I’ll preserve the entire comment chain in case I find myself on YPTB.

Memes are not necessarily meant to be funny. They’re meant to represent a common experience within a group. The horrid failure rate of PulseAudio just a couple years ago fits that definition perfectly, and in fact it’s why I gave up on Ubuntu 14.04 in 2015.

It should be Neovim and Lua. Nobody should be subjected to the curse and torment of writing Elisp.

I think you’re confusing it with Manjaro, which has had several.

Not even the man RMS himself uses GNU/Hurd or Guix, which is hilarious.

You should check out the tldr program. It’s a community-driven quick reference tool that lists common practical examples for commands.

Windows devs used to have fun.

Dwight would be Artix. Michael would be Arch. Ryan, I think Manjaro, banished to the cupboard. The short-lived “I’m aware of the effect I have on women” manager would be Nix.

Jim is Debian, Pam is Mint, and (guy who was engaged to Pam and I can’t remember his name) is Ubuntu.

Judgemental and sanctimonious cat lady might be Guix or GNU/Hurd, always on the others’ ass about not being “free” enough. Kevin is either Gentoo or LFS.

And the warehouse staff, who actually get shit done, are the BSDs.

“How To Piss Off Two Fandoms At The Same Time”

Why does it have 1 and 0 keys when i and o would work just as well? Can’t stand this kind of bloat…

Brown dwarfs are classified as substellar objects because they can’t fuse hydrogen into helium and don’t undergo the same lifecycle as stars. White dwarfs aren’t stars either, they are stellar remnants that don’t have enough mass to keep fusing heavier elements, usually stopping at carbon and oxygen.

Still waiting for the KDE Neutron Degenerate Matter release.

The community abhors change. Especially changes that break conventions, even informal ones. Look at the temper tantrums people are throwing because Wayland does things differently from X.org. Changing output redirection in Bash, or how dd works, or any number of long-standing conventions because new users are unwilling to adapt to a new system and might end up dding over the root partition would break established workflows, and worse, existing scripts and services.

But the solution already exists, it’s called wrapper programs. You don’t have to manually update AUR packages because yay and paru already do that. You don’t have to figure out how fdisk and mkfs work because Gparted and Partition Manager do it for you.

Nevertheless, using a system should always and forever be the user’s responsibility. Otherwise Linux would turn into a locked-down play pen like Apple products.

It’s a good thing there are other resources, then. You can read tldr-pages. You can look at various official and unofficial wikis. You can look at Stackoverflow. You can look at Youtube tutorials. You can ask other people. Hell, you can ask a chatbot.

If the average user is unwilling to do that, maybe it’s better that Linux does not see a wider adoption.
