Why can’t a country choose which services it wants to prohibit? Seems strange, it isn’t an American company.

I don’t really care, just wondering.

I wonder what’s the scalability issue. I’ve never seen a system that can’t be fixed by throwing more horizontally scalable resources at it.

I mean, telling someone to kill themselves is something that I’ve heard a lot, it usually never means “go and literally do it”, it’s more of an expression… But the fact that it was used in that context is just disturbing.

He’s the one who should ask for help nicely.

1. He’s the one asking for help.
2. This is a 100% free and extremely complex piece of technology built by very smart people, so chances are that he is the problem and not the kernel.
3. Always be nice, even if the product is the problem. Specially when it is given to you for free.
4. People are answering to him with the same attitude he used to ask for help. You get what you give.

Imagine you clean your friend’s house for free because you’re a good friend. 2 hours later he calls you and says “What the fuck am I supposed to do with the shoes you forgot to pick from the living room?”.

Can you even call that asking for help? He’s clearly just bitching.

Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.

If you’re using a whole kernel for free, at least be nice when very deep technical things that you clearly don’t understand don’t go as you expected.

It’s called having etiquette

Next thing you know they are looking at packages compile in Gentoo on a Friday night.

They rode the good guys image for quite a bit.

“Is compiling packages for days your favorite activity?” -> Gentoo

“Do you believe an OS can turn you into a hacker?” -> Kali

You IMPLIED? That’s even worse than assuming. Life sentence.

Damn, you assumed pronouns like 4 times. Get ready to go to trans jail (jk)

Same here, I just assumed it was a special thing that saved the last command. Had no idea it was actually a query to the history

This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I’m too lazy to do anything about it.

Trying to do a basic Docker image during an interview was wild.

I was writing shit like “chmod user:user 400 file”

Somehow the person didn’t notice and said everything looked fine. When the interview was over, I looked at it and every single command was shit.

I was just forced to Switch to Mac and let me tell you that I’m actually enjoying it.

Things I like so far:

• An actual modern email client that isn’t web based. Web mail clients feel so cumbersome.

• Same thing for a calendar application.

• Nice reminders app out of the box. Can schedule alarms on reminders and categorize them.

• Nice notes app that I don’t need to constantly save. It never closes, which feels great compared to Gedit.

• Security. Apps notify me when they want to access system resources and I have to authorize them.

• Unix. Unix matters a lot.

• Homebrew has incredible support. I can install almost anything with it.

• Iterm2 feels almost like Terminator.

Things I hate:

• The fact that they have another keyboard layout. Although, after 3 days I’m getting used.

• Updates take forever, it’s insane.

• Can’t easily switch back and forth (not cycle) between windows of same apps. Haven’t figured this one out.

• Docker runs in a VM, it sucks.

• Can’t get used to multiple desktops. I hate them.

Honestly, it isn’t as bad as Windows. As long as I have a terminal and a nice shell, I’m good.

How is this different than a regular backup? Not salty, just curious.

Linux power-users hate it when a tool tries to become a platform.

It breaks the principle of single responsibility and becomes a threat to the evolution of alternatives.

It’s pros and cons. Having a platform is better because everyone works together on a single effort. But it also becomes a risk because now everyone depends on a single thing that does too much.

Because they use what you say to tagert ads and keep a record of who you are. That’s how they make money.

Which goes back to… You’re just a product. Stop using large platforms for personal shit. That’s their business model, how is it evil if most people know these companies rely on stealing as much information from you as they legally can AND they still use them.

It’s strange how Mastodon is so willingly letting them in. Fishy… Fishy and hairy. Like a fish with some nice bangs. Maybe a mullet. A little mustache too, recently brushed with a little mustache brush.

Add a hard captcha in order to allow posting on specific communities that would be targets for bots, like c/memes. Like a very fucked up captcha.

Oh yeha, that’s right. But if they ever start hating Reddit as much, that’s their chance.
