I was a little surprised that AI was actually not too off, or at least when it was, it was because it misunderstood the distro I used. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go beyond basics though, like installing random stuff from the AUR to fix something can go horribly wrong.

I’ve been using rEFInd for my dual boot and it shows a Tux, but that’s mostly cause I haven’t been tinkering with it. Now I’m tempted to use anime girl personifications of OSs instead, which would be really classy, I bet.

Almost all of my clandestine spy tactics started with… 🌽.

Volume mute. Family members schedule memorized. Escape route established. Contingency windows tab ready after alt F4. Several alibis established. Elaborate excuses on the ready. Disguises and new identity ready in case my position is compromised.

I agree. Can’t quite put my finger on it… maybe the window behind the monitor? I try not to assume simply because of the style, but the lack of author credit makes it hard to check anyway.The weird thing is it wouldn’t at all be hard to draw by hand.

Edit: I like all the different answers. It feels like a new, unfortunate version of the “find the differences” game.

Believe it or not, it gained 10fps running on Arch… doing… whatever that thing was doing.

Well, I’ll settle for basic computer literacy as I still run into college students without a working knowledge of file systems… buuuut one would argue it’s worth covering the basic building blocks of how all this works.

I’ve heard similar arguments for teaching people the fundamentals of how data works too, as we have data harvested from us at alarming rates and knowledge is power.

Flannel’s plaid disrupts any curves so it’s pretty good for covering up bellies in particular. A big reason I’m a fan of the season of flannel (plus scarfs are nice, too).

No no, don’t recommend Linux to a Mac user. Suggest other kids toys, like an etch-a-sketch or something.

“Remember memes… though half a weeks gone by. Remember memes, even if work makes you cry. For even if it’s far away, the weekends in my heart. I sing my silly songs to you each time we make meme art…”

Hey now, I’m sure there’s someone on LinkedIn suggesting this exact thing with layers of corporate speak.

Mayonnaise is mostly oil and egg, which is kind of more akin to carbonara than Alfredo. That said, it has a sourness that isn’t going to mesh the same way-- basically, vinegar and/or lemon juice, which one generally wouldn’t want much of (if at all) in something meant to be creamy. Main reason I don’t particularly like it as a butter substitute in grilled cheese.

Knowing what goes into things like mayo, ketchup, Sriracha, etc, can work well when you’re in a pinch, though. It’s just harder to control the ratio of sugars, salts, and sour components so you have to offset that elsewhere.

Yo that’s the kinda shit that’ll get you detained. More please!

RFK Jr. said he’s gonna personally hunt down the first autistic (aka prime autistic) and kill them, which as we all know will cure all forms of autism world wide.

Or maybe something equally absurd, anyway.

Jokes on you, I’m laying down with a pillow perfectly placed for posture.

Me when I’m unwilling to lane change once on the freeway.

Teaching stats and using percentages now and again, it’s not really that useful of a tool most of the time since you aren’t usually working with an easy number like 50 (Or 10, 20, 25, etc.).

Usually what I’m doing is breaking it down into manageable parts (factors), so 6% is 5% + 1% which I can usually do in my head regardless of the number (or if 5% hard, work in increments of 1%, which I can multiply by 6).

It’s a pretty common strategy to with with factors. Just surprised how many of my students don’t know it!

Ohhh. Great PSA to some of us who start out.

Ahh, ok that makes sense. Reading other posts, pretty sure my wifi chip is the same as OP.

This was also my first issue in Linux but it turned out my duel boot was somehow screwing things up. Windows broke WiFi for Linux, then when I booted into Windows it was broken there too. I blame Windows because it was right after a series of updates, but I have no idea why it’d impact other independent OS on other drives.

Unfortunately I forgot the solution. It was probably since bios impacting thing, like how they often say to disable fast boot and junk.

Reminds me I’m currently writing up new stuff on my course syllabus regarding LLMs, not because of the rampant cheating but because when they use them they usually get terrible grades. I already had rules, but I’m trying to rework the assignments so they either can’t really use it, are allowed to use it with guidence, or graded in a way that minimizes those scores so they get the hallucination F they deserve but have a chance to ultimately redeem it.

Teaching sucks now, HAL. :(
