  • The rumblies only hands could satisfy.

  • abcde is pretty great, and it has a funny command name :D

  • God damn Adobe... we know you are bad but not THAT bad.

  • Always dies

  • how about .tar.zip or .tar.rar?

  • tar eXtactZheVeckingFile

  • Mounted as / and /home

    Yeah that's really odd.

  • What does df -h in your terminal say how much free space your system has?

  • Given their reasoning that Palestinian equals Hamas...

    Fuck the IDF.

  • I like Tusky on Android.

  • I agree that learning Linux, when all you've known was Windows, is hard.

    My first computer had only PCDOS (it was the early 90s) and I've never been afraid of a black screen with a white cursor blinking.

    But I refuse that someone who would be interested in Linux, would just willy nilly install it, has to resort to the terminal, is faced with the sudo screen and then just give up. It's after all not a drop in replacement, neither is macOS.

    So where did that interest stem from?

    • Influencers on Social Media? Why not ask those, asking questions doesn't make you look stupid (unless the questioned are stupid themselves and have a superiorty complex).
    • As a recommendation from a friend? Well that friend totally is now their tech support for anything linux.
    • Or they are own their own but then that curiosity has to be quite immense to begin with and something like a terminal wouldn't deter them.
  • you can get a mini PC for 87€ with BETTER performance than the Pi 5?

    We are looking at:

    2.4 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 4kp60 HECV de/enconding.

  • NO WAY. Sorry I didn't realise how a

    64-Bit CPU with a clockspeed of 1.8 Gigahertz with RAM of up to 8 Gigabytes, USB connectivity, HDMI outs, Wifi and other shit

    could EVER be superior to a (respective to an Amiga 500)

    16-Bit computer with a speed of 7.16 MEGAhertz with 512 KILOBYTES of RAM

    You REALLY opened my eyes.

    (sorry for being overly sarcastic)

  • or you know, you could ask people. You wouldn't start linux if you aren't curious and or have someone in your circle who knows about linux a bit more.

  • There is one simple question you gotta ask yourself.

    Is it worth it to press SysReq without knowing what it will do?

    "do you feel lucky, punk?"

  • GUIs regularly freeze up with even less indication of what’s going on (do you wait a few seconds or half an hour when the beach ball isn’t spinning)

    mhm, i totally love how cp, mv, rm doesn't show ANYTHING resembling progress while it shows a simple blinking cursor, it doesn't event prevent the user from typing anything.

  • mhm but the first time you invoke sudo, you get hit with that sudo warning which should trigger something in the user that perhaps they should rethink what they are doing.

  • its a cronjob that runs each minute (*/1) in any hour, any day, any month, on any weekday, gnome-screenshot obviously takes a screenshot and outputs it to the given file path and filename, where the filename is written as the current date as string and .png as format

  • Okay, I wanted to say that the computer would be integrated just like the computers I mentioned.
