popos tiling works this way as well.

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(

I personally don’t see how. But this is probably the correct answer. Cheers.

This is a powerful lyric from the song masters of war by bob dylan.

It is a song about how the Rich and powerful use and abuse normal people as Grist for the war mill or in this case Grist for the oil mill.

How the fuck is this being downvoted?

Learn to fucking spell before you start denigrating other people’s intelligence.

Yes, I am being condescending. And in case that is too big of a word for you - It means I am talking down to you.

Ansible files stored locally to bootstrap, then the same set of ansible files gets put in a repo once the repo is up.

IMO

Might makes right is the dumbest position, bar none.

Fair enough. I do call even single hip-hop artists ‘bands’ in normal speech as well. Possibly just a linguistic quirk on my part.

Gabber/Gak. Man I haven’t thought about these bands forever!

The shizit was my favorite band for a long time. And rotterdam terror corps.

Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)

Caldera linux 1.2.

Those days were magical.

I had just started my university days and I had two young kids who wanted to watch cartoons but we couldn’t afford cable. I ended up scrounging parts from the garbage bins in and behind the computer lab to scrape together a workable desktop.

If I recall correctly it was 333 MHz. Originally installed Windows 98 SE on it. But media would stutter no matter what I did, even if all other processes were killed.

A monk friend of mine (my university was geographically attached to a Benedictine monastery) asked me if I had tried Linux as it should be easier on the system resources and still allow me to play most media.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Roughly the same here. And yeah this hasn’t been a problem since the very first years. And even then it was just some config tweaks.

I don’t get this. It is a common statement on lemmy especially among the new users. I have been daily-driving linux for many many years, and every install of a new distro gets 3 or 4 DEs added to play around with and find the ‘flavour of the year’ for myself.

I don’t recall this ever being a real problem. Ever.

Sorry, but your opinion doesn’t match reality in this case.

The inventor of vape juice and the methods for vaping it, was a doctor who was trying to kick his own habit.

And it is not ‘helping’ me. It helped. I’ve been off cigs 7 years, and vape for 2.

Nobody gives a shit what it was intended for when it helps people kick two pack a day 25 year cigarette habits.

Like me. And a few others in this very post’s comment section.

I have never had a comment make me feel this old.
