16gb seems huge.

Is there some sort of rubric you follow that leads you to that figure?

I had to scroll too far down to see this 😂

The bottom level of your file system is /, not C:, and other drives or partitions you have will be represented in subfolders like mnt or something.

Everything is represented as a file, even things that are not strictly speaking a file on your primary hard drive.

The part that you interact with the most, your graphical user interface, has a particular name, like gnome, kde, xfce, icewm, etc.

When you have to open a terminal, you might be interacting with different shells as well, but it will usually be bash.

Always install from the repos unless your nerdy friend who helped you get set up says it’s okay to download this or that particular app.

Maybe include a bit about how to run regular backups automatically.

And also list out different alternative programs relative to what they might be used to in a Microsoft environment.

$2m bond for memeing too hard? Gtfo, I hope FIRE metaphorically beats all those yokels from cop to prosecutor to judge. No less than three public officials with not possibly more than 2 brain cells between them.

I like Aegis.

I believe she’s also said that the military needs to overthrow her country’s government.

They say men think with their dicks, but I thought it was a metaphor!

Congratulations, you’re not an asshole. 🙃

Also apparently it’s already been forked 🎉

Sure, but the cool thing about Linux is that you can pick the gui. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers

Bleak.

Listen man I want smart everything. I want a fridge that tells me if I left the door open and when I last replaced the filter and if the OJ is out and then automatically asks if it should add more OJ to the grocery list.

And this can all be accomplished with modern technology without sending my data to an outside entity. It should be, even if it isn’t. So much of the sci-fi future we used to dream of can be a reality today, we just have to mold it into being.

Dumb filters already push for replacements early.

What’s the gui-based irc client people are using now instead?

Wait is hexchat really dead? Didn’t it replace xchat? So what’s the go to irc client now?

From what I can tell the steering committee (project leadership) wanted to modify the mod team, the mod team wants to be independent of the leadership of the project, and one member of the certain committee works or did work for a genuinely shitty company in some capacity.

Sounds like interpersonal bullshit reframed as politics. Honestly impressed at the resignation letter being able to use so many words while avoiding actually directly explaining what they’re upset about. Of course it would take something really egregious and extraordinary for me to give a shit, because…

The steering committee or board of trustees or whatever should be sitting the rules for the organization, up to an including adding or removing mods from a forum if they want. That’s what they exist for. The idea that a mod team should be independent of the actual organizational structure of an institution is ridiculous.

I mean, you’re supposed to take the ticket when you’re pulled over, and I don’t believe we should make it easier for people who aren’t in the vehicle when driving it.

Write the ticket, hold it out at the car window, when no one takes it write “Refused”, make everyone exit, disable the vehicle until it can be towed to impound, and keep it at impound until some responsible person comes to claim it, sign the ticket, and pay the fees.

14 claimants, town of 800… This guy molested 1.75% of the population, or 3.5% of the women/girls in town if averages hold. Jesus.

Just impound the vehicle when the driver refuses to sign, or rip the axle out.

You know, like if it had a human owner.

Okay seriously what’s up with the homophobia in China?
