I’m quite deliberately avoiding lemmy.world, so no, we shouldn’t just put everything on there.

Remember a couple of years ago when Biden just made it illegal for rail workers to strike?
Just pointing out that this king shit didn’t start with Trump, it’s just gone even more off the rails.

I’ve always been of the mindset that we ought to clean each others places just because it’s so much easier to help a friend out than work for myself.

Good point.

While the stroad seem realistic, seeing a pedestrian carrying groceries doesn’t seem like americana iconography.

I suppose abraunegg’s onedrive does help with creating a config file, but it might still scare away newcomers to linux having to dig around for it. I suppose they’ll need to learn eventually.

And if you want to up your game a little, there’s Jackett and/or Prowlarr, there’s even an official guide on how to set up jackett to work as a search engine within qbittorrent.

I was just in a youtube comment section trying to explain what enhittification means, but then I realized I don’t care.

This reminded me to install onedrive for linux. I mean, I have 105 GB of free cloud storage on my OneDrive, it’d be dumb not to take advantage of it even though I’ve moved from windows. CLI and systray GUI. The GUI makes it very easy to log in and setup, no need to touch a config file.

The good thing about an nvidia driver update is that it forces you to take a backup. And hey, I figured out how apt-file works just so I could figure out where the nvidia driver put nvidia-settings (as it forgot to put it somewhere $path could find it, and no .desktop files were made).

It’s taken from the excellent 1998 anime “Serial Experiments Lain”. It’s so iconic, excellent intro (OP) theme. But a bit surreal, it’s kind of Lynchian in a way.

It’s not. The characters on top are from a Danish childrens tv show called “Bamse og Kylling” ((teddy-)Bear and Chicken translated).

This is so sad… Horses can’t go downstairs 😢

Ha, I was just looking up a similar meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wz9BkzU1zY (It’s about alpine)
But yeah, it’s actually what I like about linux, and also what I dislike about systemd, the fact that things are interchangable. With regards to systemd, it’s mainly because canonical is the driving force there, I’m distrustful of corpos having too much power of a critical part of the system like that.

Very interesting distro, I like the name as well. “Chimera” because it’s not like any other OS. Also, never heard of the “dinit” init before, interesting!

Pedantic, I know, but wouldn’t it make more sense to say “powered by Totino’s Pizza Rolls”, that is, to switch those two around?

Oof for someone who isn’t tech savvy this was a hard read but I appreciate it!

I’m sorry, I should’ve clarified, that’s the socalled copypasta/meme I mentioned. But now you’re cursed with the knowledge of it existing.

I wish I had 90s memories of linux, but in my family it was all microsoft, from DOS to Windows. My uncle was an electrical engineer and was interested in computers, so our family got some hand-me-down PC’s over time, and I probably played Leisure Suit Larry way too young in the early 90s, but I still believe that typing in text commands is a great way of learning a language.
It wasn’t until 1999 I saw Linux for the first time at school, and later around 2003 I saw it again at a LAN where someone was showing off how fast it could run Unreal Tournament 2003, which was faster than Windows at the time.

At least there’s still rice and gravy around :)

Linux is not that old. There’s a reason why the “Actually it’s GNU+Linux…” meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn’t start entirely from scratch.

If there’s one song that takes me back to GTA Vice City, cruising downtown on a harvey davidson style motorcycle, then it’s “Video killed the Radio Star”, what a tune.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here’s a clip of him on CNN.

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I’ve ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don’t run correctly.
