Idk how this is a science meme but this meme is hilarious lmaooo

[-] Zorcron@lemmy.zip 39 points 3 weeks ago

Biology? Idk some of the memes posted here are a bit of a stretch to fit the theme.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu if you just wanna get stuff done and don't have a genuine interest in (or time to spend on) tweaking your OS.

I use Ubuntu btw.

[-] xep@discuss.online 47 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn't the place for it.

Debian here. IMO "btw" is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.

[-] ratel@mander.xyz 16 points 3 weeks ago

When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can't deal with it at the moment.

[-] sem 15 points 3 weeks ago

I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu's gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up

[-] ratel@mander.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.

I've never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering do-make-release.

[-] anzo@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora's rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.

I hope this is close enough.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

You’re so cooked now that I got your IP

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 4 points 3 weeks ago

oh shit, don't hack me bro!

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Too late, I already know your username is kieron

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well I just changed my IP to 10.0.2.59 so GOOD LUCK!

[-] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

No, that is mine!

[-] Alienmonkey@mander.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

It looks like you are running this to the AVR, wired or through wifi/BT?

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

So I have this old sony bravia that technically supports 120hz but only with a custom EDID, and somewhere along the line of making the EDID I screwed up the display name. But I have one HDMI going to the TV and one HDMI going to the AVR for audio (to minimize input latency). It looks even more absurd in display properties lol.

Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you're on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.

(Started on mandrake in about 2001 btw)

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I use Ubuntu at work. I don't even care, it's legit 500% faster than my work Windows laptop, despite being objectively lower-speccd.

I use nobara at home. Windows free in my personal life for like a decade at least now. I wanted something solid out of the box, not atomic (I like the idea I just think it's overkill for a home workstation. The sheepdog is a pet, not part of flock), fedora based with good brtfs support.

But Ubuntu is good enough. Not as if "better than windows" is a particularly high bar, though.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever, as long as your computer is free

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I agree

I use Arch btw

I got to feed endangered African penguins once at an aviary! They just swallow whole fish (whether in the water or tossed to them though the air), no need for prep or plating.

Fun fact, they secrete all that fish oil right onto their feathers (it helps them glide though the water), but that makes them little stink monsters! Seriously, penguins smell rather terrible haha.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Added fun facts: they have teeth in their throats to haul the fish down, and the fish oil secretions are stored in a gland near their tails!

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

Weird that they keep flightless birds in aviary, but penguins are my spirit animal so I'm jealous.

[-] Dymonika@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Wow, that's... kind of disgustingly intriguing of evolution...

[-] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

That must have been really fun! The Toronto zoo has an awards plaque for “Nice Penguin of the Month” and “Naughty Penguin of the Month” which leads me to believe that they must be characters

[-] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oh most definitely, this species at least was full of personality. They were very well cared-for so they were little divas and had all kinds of interesting relationships with one another (the caretaker told it like a soap opera).

They would also ignore the fish we tossed that they didn't prefer and wait for their favorite. So the caretaker had to go around and pick up the extra fish when food time was over lol

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

i grew up near Marine World Africa USA before it got bought out by six flags. It was the Standard Second Grade Field Trip out here to go to Marine World and go see the animals and ride the teacups that i swear disneyland ripped off and made better (yes i made this part of the story up when i was in second grade shut up). But the park was not opened up for the summer yet and all us little shits got to run around. And at 2pm they had a penguin feeding and I told my teacher I loved the pengies at the Portland Oregon zoo, so we went to see the pengies and get a special lesson from the pengie trainer. I don't remember most of it but i got to throw a fish at not to (let's be honest i still throw like an uncoordinated 6 year old who should have been drummed off his tee ball team) the penguins.

It was neat
i had an onion on my belt

first song i ever wrote that was good was about one of their elephant trainers, who was a good friend, but that's another story

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Feeding them is great and all but I spent a few months of my life cleaning up after them and let me tell you, penguins are fuckin nasty. I love them to death but holy god I will not be doing that again.

Yo, can I be a zoo penguin, please?

At least I’ll die happy

[-] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

What is the orange stuff at the top middle and what's the chopped stuff on the bottom right?

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 weeks ago

Spicy mayo as a condiment, and looks like clams without the shells

That's so much mayo lol

[-] sem 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I didn't think penguins could have mayo

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

it's OK it's gonna be put down

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 weeks ago

Top middle looks like Mac and cheese. Not sure what the bottom right is, almost looks like crawfish or something vaguely prawny

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago

That's spicy mayo (mayo, Sriracha, lime)

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Glad I looked at this comment cuz that looks like fucking easy cheese or Velveeta or something to me and I was like what the fuck??

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Gross..........Ubuntu

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

as opposed to a wild penguin.

[-] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, Kyle, those grapes are probably very sour

[-] darthsundhaft@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Is this secretly some sorta recipe for making his dong go/stay up?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago

Favorite pasta sauce: orange.

Like how Gatorade is blue.

[-] CatAssTrophy@safest.space 2 points 3 weeks ago

Gatorade is yellow-green, you heathen. Anything other than lemon-lime Gatorade require the qualifier.
