What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?

You actually think you’re going to rise up and fight against your national army? How about fighting for a better democracy instead, like by getting rid of Gerrymandering, abolishing corporate lobbyists, adopting preferential voting etc

Oh no! I only got an education from my school and didn’t get to fire a gun even ONCE! Let me go sit in a corner and cry myself to sleep with my secure, well paying job and free health care. By the way I’m in army reserves and get paid to shoot rifles and automatic guns at firing ranges. It’s okay, I guess, but I wouldn’t go if I weren’t paid lol

Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.

I would totally read that book

I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?

Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol

Maybe to avoid confusion, they should just display units in GB instead of GiB? Or just display both

I wish he had the balls to follow through with it

This is fucking amazing

I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower… Hang on… there’s a community for that! brb

Happy birthday!

Ublock origin works too

I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!

Exactly! Although I find dishwashing detergent dries out your skin a lot more, so I wouldn’t try using that lol. Shampoo has a pH closer to your skin than a bar of soap, so is really quite well suited for it.

My guess to the biggest reason not to do this is safety - if somebody is being electrocuted, you want to be able to pull the cord out of the wall as quickly as possible to maximise their chance of survival.

I just buy cheap $2 bottles of shampoo and use it for my whole body. Cheaper than shower gel, and I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with no problems. It’s all soap, right?

I used to watch a lot of Luke Smith when I first got into Arch 5 years ago, but nothing much since then. The only Linux youtuber I watch nowadays is Chris Titus Tech, and then only sometimes.

Oh that’s interesting, exposing kids to it is a great idea because then they won’t have the whole barrier of the ‘fear of the unknown’ when considering installing it on their own PC. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see a breakdown of useage by region. For example I found stats that said India’s share of linux users rose from 9% in May to 15% in July. That’s quite a sharp increase in only 2 months! With a population of over 1 billion people, I’m betting this rise would have a significant increase in global stats, so I wonder what is behind it…

What problems does the AUR create? I just install using yay, and it mostly works fine
