i will never stop wanting to commit severe crime every time i try to see what’s using the processor and every single fucking system monitor tool just says it’s xorg

YES THANK YOU VERY USEFUL GOOD

i do not “hope”, i have faith in the lord 🙏

at this point i have utterly forgotten how windows works and when placed in front of a computer not running linux i just get frustrated that it won’t let me do things properly

LET ME OPEN A TERMINAL AND USE REGULAR COMMANDS YOU OVERBUILT TOASTER

as long as you have access to the boot drive everything’s fine, just varying degrees of painful to rectify.

local AI models are a thing you know, just run this on a computer with no internet access and you’ll swiftly see whether it relies on servers or not.

gods, imagine saying this to a normal user

“what the fuck is a file?”

i’m using fedora on ext4 lol, the single unavoidable problem with BTRFS is that i’d have to switch to it :P

“chmod 777 is opening your front door with a sledgehammer”

i don’t have any stake in this, i’m a fucking xfce user lmao, but man “hyprland” is not a very great name since it immediately makes me think it’s a crypto bullshit project…

almost sounds like god doesn’t want us doing machine learning

Important to note how the design of the hardware is important in enabling this, if you don’t have replaceable parts then the entire thing dies when one component does.

It’s really the one major complaint i have about my pixel 3, the lack of an SD card slot immediately puts a bit of a lifespan on the entire device.

perhaps we should start building things with long term support in mind, and not just churn out the cheapest shit we can manage.

Like just look at modern laptops, most of them are absolute dogshit in terms of repairability and then you have the framework which you can straight up buy as a kit to assemble yourself.
Making things easy to maintain is clearly doable, not even that hard.

it’s not that wild of a concept, it’s basically just an extension of how copyright and patents expire. You should have to prove that your IP is actually in use for it to remain valid, otherwise you forfeit it. Honestly moreso to prevent patent/copyright trolling than for right to repair reasons.

reminder that the voyager 1 probe is still functional

funy pengin

even on a less well-maintained system it’s probably not going to be the kernel having a freakout, the kernel is going to be just fine while something else shits itself (probably graphics drivers on a desktop tbh, my vega 10 loves to vomit onto the screen and pass out)

as much as you can use windows without touching the command line, so long as you don’t fuck about with stuff or want to do anything particularly fancy you have no reason to touch the terminal, but if you break stuff then just like with windows you’ll want to use the terminal to fix things because otherwise you’ll be spending 5 hours clicking your fingers off in a graphical problem solver.

The horrors of typing in your prospective project name in a search engine

linux at least gives you the information you need to slowly untangle things, sure you’ll be presented with a screen of inscrutable text, but you can just search that text online and get results that you can make sense of

meanwhile with other OSes they just say “there was a problem” and you have no earthly clue what the fuck the actual issue is, if there even is one and the OS isn’t just being spiteful

go ahead and use that on your home network, but if you work in IT and deploy it on public networks i’m going to kick you in the nuts
