Magnetic media is still king of price to capacity (Hard drives) and I literally do still record broadcast television on one of my linux boxes

I've been using linux for more than a decade at this point, but in all that time I've rarely had a disk drive. The fact that this command exists and is just, one of the core utils included with your distro along with su and kill and mount and more is just… so beautiful. 10 years amore with this OS and I'm still learning things that the elders in the audience are snickering at me for only learning 5 minutes ago while they were popping their disk trays open with a single command back when disk drives were a non optional component.

You can actually be both. The internet is maintained mainly by catgirls afterall

I hate electron apps. Just make a website asshole, don't bundle a whole chrome browser! The only one I'll tolerate is ferdium, because having a message control center is kinda neat.

Together, we CAN traumatize innocent sexists who did nothing to deserve it. WHO'S WITH ME?

The number of men (and people who think they're men) circling the alt right drain is depressing.

well at least they aren't trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

Even if you're using debian 12 bookworm and are fully up to date, you're still running [5.4.1].

The only debian version actually shipping the vulnerable version of the package was sid, and being a canary for this kind of thing is what sid is for, which it's users know perfectly well.

Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made

How does the snap store have worse moderation than flathub when the snap store has the weight of a company behind it and flathub is run by [nervously notices it doesn't say]?

In our defense, nobody actually likes nvidia. They are a bunch of greedy patent trolls who actively stifle innovation with the way they run their business. And I don't hate windows users. I just think they're reckless with their privacy. As for mac users, I see them as cousins. At least what they're using is posix compliant. Oh, and other linux users: if you're using snaps, fuck you and fuck the horse you rode in on. You're even stupider than the windows users.

You know you can just download arbitrary ttf files to ~/.fonts

You don't need to install them system wide. That's where my Comic Sans and Gnommish fonts live

Sunglasses both protect you from the light (natural and otherwise) and hide the fact you're not making eye contact (to an extent)
