when i watched ds6 all the way through for the first time, there was an episode on the ferengi homeworld that immediately reminded me of this story because quark has to put a quarter in a chair to sit on it.

it’s not for everyone but it definitely doesn’t suck. it gives me a feeling of wanderlust that no other game can (except maybe elite dangerous, but i don’t play that).

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).

the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yeah but there’s also been plenty of times i’ve been just screwed on windows where linux would have let me just go fix it myself, so that’s still “linux is the best thing ever” for me.

you forgot --no-preserve-root.

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

i did a double take at that image

every time i see a gallery of this guy’s comics posted, they start out innocuous like this, then invariably they start becoming blatant far-right propaganda. every single time. the guy’s a chud.

two different screenshots of the same guy doing the same bit on the frontpage right now. somebody’s self-promoing, lol.

this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

you should all know that reddit can, and has, restored comments that have been “shredded” by tools like this so they can be used to train AI. they can obviously restore deleted content as well, because it’s never deleted, just marked as deleted in the database.

not even particularly confusing, it’s just two inexperienced users being inexperienced. it seems like it’s only confusing people that know OpenOffice and LibreOffice have OS X versions but somehow don’t know that not everyone knows what they’re doing.

“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”

ayyy, left-handed artist!

a lot of ideas-only leftists on the internet have gotten furious with me when i ask “how.” way too many terminally online leftists build their entire political ideology around the desired end result and have spent exactly zero time thinking or learning how we actually get there.

i don’t have all the answers, either, but i openly acknowledge what i don’t know because just getting angry and calling someone a right-winger in the comments of a random reddit or lemmy post over the tiniest bit of barely-pushback is not going to help me build actionable knowledge and strengthen my views.

i give OP a year until the furry hater -> furry pipeline kicks in.
