Based on the downvotes, you must think this was a good take lmao

well i mean, the original meme was referring to a usb device with an led…

i always just

cat /dev/??? > /dev/null

to make sure the usb blinks

Ive been mostly on linux for like 25 years, but i was using a chromebook for a while bc it was cheap (had a linux desktop tho).

I miss easily running android apps on my laptop. I could install waydroid but its not that big of a deal to me. Just the only thing i could think of that i miss from another os…

Im not on mastodon too much but i think they call a tweet a toot and a retweet a retoot

I was taking my kid on a bike ride a few months ago and there is a 2 way bike lake on one side, that used to be a turning lane. There was a car in the bike lane and i just stoped in front of her and said “yo this is a bike lane wtf” to her and had a stand off for a minute, until she got into the car lane.

If nintendo cant successfully remove decades of ip from the internet while they are currently an active company, how do you expect them to do so if they have folded? This thread relates to emulation, which is alive and well, and likely not going anywhere.

Agreed. Only way ive found to reheat fries from a restaurant. used to just leave them if i couldnt finish them.

We got take away a few weeks ago, and the fries were already soggy by the time we got home. Think i popped them in for like 3 mins or something and they were seemingly fresh again

I use ncdu. It shows what folders/files are actually eating up all your space.

Uh, youtube premium is ad free…

Im one of these legacy users from google music, and youtube hasnt shown me an ad in nearly a decade…

Obviously other than the baked in ad reads by the youtubers themselves

Seems like a good business model

I just started using nix recently. I really like the concept, and how simple it is to “temporarily” install an app only needed briefly.

I was trying to install a python program i wrote, and packaged with poetry (on an arch system) to nix. Pip and pipx both threw errors, nothing seemed to work. Advice online seemed like i needed to basically create a nix flake for the app. I still havent gotten it installed because i have no idea what nix flakes are.

Its probably just a learning curve, and not using nix the “nix way” but im incredibly frustrated and it was a massive time sink for me. I figured pipx would basically work like flatpak does and just install the thing in my home, leaving the system immutable or whatever, and staying mostly in the spirit of nix.

So i’d say its weird enough of a distro to waste your time sometimes.

That said, it seems to have the cleanest updates ive ever seen on linux. So much so i could probably just run them via cron, and never think about it again.

So win some lose some…

I mean paid fediverse doesnt give you extra features. Unless you count a sense of satisfaction supporting open platforms

Man losing a lot of greats this week

Yeah i used this when i got an nvme and migrated from spinning disk on my machine. I dont remember the exact process, but it was fairly straightforward as i recall

Trump’s campaign sent him to McDonald’s because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald’s, in large part because the job wasn’t listed on her later resume for a legal job.

I don’t often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?

I dont think the IT firm i’m applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school…

Havent heard this one in a while

Thats how i took it too

So time to wrap up the war then, right… Right?
