Normally I don’t kink shame, but ew. Twink femboys are one thing, but getting it on with tech bro consciousnesses is where I have to draw the line!

Also, just because something is sentient doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gendered.

If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.

Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.

The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.

Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.

I still have almost no idea what PulseAudio and PipeWire even do, aside from them being two of five(!) different audio-related subsystems that any given sound problem might be related to. (The others being OSS, ALSA, and JACK, which I also don’t understand.)

Trick question: back then, we changed to channel 3 and turned on the device hooked up to the RF adapter.

Also, my parents struggle with changing inputs on the remote now. I’m not sure if they regressed in their old age or never knew to begin with, but either is plausible.

Not just millennials… I’ve been family IT support since the late 80s.

I mean, as a millennial I only missed that by a couple of years. I was already the most computer-literate person in the house when I was 7, in the early '90s.

Good ol’ C-w, M-w, and C-y

No, that’s ass-backwards. You have to stop catering to drivers first in order to incite them to support building the transit. Politically, it does not, can not, and never will work the other way around.

Your argument is nothing more than disingenuous support for the car-dependent status quo.

Yep, top is Aziraphale and bottom is Crowley.

“Most Unices” haven’t been relevant for a decade or more. At this point it’s really just Linux, OS X, Android (to the extent it counts as a Unix), and BSD as an also-ran. Obviously OS X and Android don’t care about Wayland or X11 to begin with, so all you’re really saying is that BSD is getting left behind.

Those work fine in Wayland for me.

Meanwhile, my OS switched to Wayland while updating at some point and I didn’t even notice.

It’s not autistic to enjoy or prefer peace and quiet. It’s autistic to be unable to function without it. If you were capable of grocery shopping before, I wouldn’t worry too much.

Being upset about a rule and refusing to follow it are entirely different things, whether the mod understands that or not.

The motherfucker banned me preemptively for something he thought I might do. Not only were there not escalating consequences for multiple offenses (as any reasonable moderation standards would have), there wasn’t even a first offense!

Confusing or deliberately conflating, depending on whether they’re the fraudster or the mark.

I got permabanned from !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world for asking about the rules in the sticky thread for questions about the rules. Reddit power-tripping mods suck, but we should also be wary about tolerating the same sort of mentality here.

(This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads)

There’s a reason we have different words for “cooking” and “baking.”

At this point, calling Trumpists “lunatics” is an insult to the moon. We need new superlatives to express the depths of how fucked up they are.
