Huh, good point, I never stopped to consider what licenses are behind Alpine.

I agree with your point that pushover licenses should not be the way forward (I personally license all of my major projects with GPLv3 only), but I’ll still keep using alpine because I like it from a technical standpoint.

Partition management is the single most chaotic chore that you come across as a casual computer user, change my mind. Depending on the partition table and filesystem, each filesystem can have zero, one or two labels assigned to it. But there is no consensus about what to actually call these labels. I’ve seen “partlabel”, “label”, “partition label” and “name” with no obvious way to tell whether the tool is talking about the label stored in the partition table or the label stored in the filesystem.

So just use UUIDs to refer to partitions instead of labels, right? Wrong! Each partition has both a UUID and a PartUUID which are not the same. It’s simple once you are aware of that fact, but if you are not, it can lead to hours of confused troubleshooting. I learned this the hard way.

Yeah, of course! Kind of goes against the point of the meme but oh well.

Fun fact: you don’t even need a hard drive (or ssd or usb stick or any storage device) to run linux. You can just flash it directly into your firmware

As an X user I support this message.

This comic was posted in 2011 but still holds up today perfectly lol.

Still gathering up my courage to make the switch. The better security / isolation between apps is a huge feature for me. But porting all of my shitty xorg-specific scripts and hacks will be a pain.

I refuse to measure garlic by any unit smaller than a whole head. Recipe says three cloves? Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.

And for people who are still confused: The confusion is the whole point of the joke. Nobody understands what the hell “cow tools” is supposed to mean. Maybe it had something to do with research showing that other mammals, not just monkeys and early humans, were capable of making tools. But nobody knows. It’s absurdist humor

Yes, because when this happens to “normal people” it is never publicized as much as when it happens to a celebrity. It’s kind of by-definition.

But I am not disagreeing with you. I just don’t know enough about andrew tate and this whole situation to have a good opinion here.

See, the thing is, these are all allegations. It won’t be proven until his trial in 2027 whether he did any of those things or not (well okay, apart from the misogyny thing, he’s admitting that one loud and proud). Despite the fact, he’s had money and assets ceased and was sent to jail, which goes against some pretty fundamental values that many people are taught growing up (e.g. Innocent until proven guilty). So I can definitely see how many non-misogynists or even feminists would be on Tate’s side even if they disagree with his messaging.

At first I thought that it was a for-fun pet project, which is fair enough, but it has a dedicated website and a discord server… HUH???

yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to get at with my lil meme. I used to get into a bunch of flame wars on the side of android because I would hear the apple people complain about fake made-up issues that I never experienced being a long-time android user. But seeing posts like OP’s makes me realize that those issues aren’t actually made up, they’re completely real and I just wasn’t seeing them because I am running a custom ROM. Like, in another thread some guy was concern-trolling about Google Services crashes being a “well-known issue” and everyone was upvoting him. Of course I would have no clue what he’s talking about, I don’t even have Google Services installed! So yeah, what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve never used an AOSP-based ROM and your entire experience of “android” are the slow buggy bloated ROMs that come installed by default on most phones, I’d understand why you’d choose to go with Apple instead.

I’m not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me

Wow, this is a very insightful remark! Although I’m a little confused by your second point, would you mind expanding on that?

My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!

Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick

Anyone who advocates for ostracizing fellow workers indiscriminately is doing it in order to keep the working class bogged down in endless internal feuds instead of organizing. Solidarity is the only solution.

So it’s like make but without incremental builds? Then how is it functionally different from a folder with a bunch of shell scripts in it?
