1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all πŸ˜†

    I'm kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.

    Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!

    As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (2 children)

    nmap -sn x.x.0.0/24 I think, was a while. Pure coincidence how I know.

    Edit: no, it's one less x because 16 is the middle.

    That's not a bash script silly.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

    Just add #!/bin/bash before the code from above.

    [–] sommerset 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Cringe.

    I can assure you no one is such a dire need to come to u for help

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    It's (I hope) self aware, so there's that at least

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

    Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

    As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    It is a meme? πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

    No, it's a very serious post that has to be taken literally.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

    I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they're requiring it...

    I think this is very cringe.

    Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.

    On the other hand, the CLIt is something he'll never get to master.

    This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

    The original:

    Gimp = green is my pepper

    β€œβ€¦you have the audacity to come to me for help?

    Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”

    I look like that and say that

    Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.

    The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

    someone helped you

    New to the FOSS community, eh? πŸ˜‰

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

    Sometimes you just need to be told to β€œread the manual”

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago

    Been here since Fedora Core 5.

    Yhe FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    The meme is poking fun at elitism.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

    Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.

    [–] [email protected] -2 points 3 hours ago

    If by "someone" you mean man.

    Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    They made a RISC-V version of Excel???

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

    Nope, Linux kernel used in that tech demo is for RISC-V architecture

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

    Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead

    I've switched to Debian GNU/Linux, because I figured out it's easier to manage than modern Windows anyways.

    I've ended up taking notes on personal MediaWiki instance on various Unix/GNU commands, and various other stuff.

    Also ended up finding 7 bugs (for now) mostly in APT/Aptitude and their documentation (didn't report them yet).

    Don't mind me, I am just a self-diagnosed autist (lmao).
