Well, duh: People keep running it on bare metal.

Yo dog I heard you like rust so we installed it to sda1 so you can have rust on your rust

The Rust community on Lemmy had been foreshadowing this all along.

sed ‘s/c/rust/g’

Is there a /c/linuxdadjokes ?

[-] StellarExtract@lemmy.zip 31 points 15 hours ago

It was replaced by /rust/linuxdadjokes

[-] alecsargent@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago

damn, that was witty.

[-] RomulusCornflakes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It’s treason then.

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 55 points 20 hours ago

I know it is a joke, but please do not fragment things into oblivion.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 29 points 19 hours ago

How dare you say something like that in a Linux focused community?!?

(Oh, and this is a joke, don't read it seriously.)

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 12 points 19 hours ago

We just need to create that one single ultimate community for good linux jokes.

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 17 hours ago

Until it splits into c/ubuntudadjokes c/archdadjokes and after that, there is no return

[-] mech@feddit.org 7 points 15 hours ago

I want an entire instance dedicated to the welcome messages you get from a Slackware terminal.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

But the fragments there aren't the ones they like. So they want theirs in it too.

It's like reinventing rugby as yank football.

Shoutout to the developers who work on making Linux safer. Adding memory-safe languages to Linux seems like an uphill battle.

It’s such an uphill battle that some people have altogether stopped contributing to Linux. An example is the former Asahi Linux lead developer.

For non technical readers :
the programming language "Rust" is being used more to make new Linux kernels. Traditionally, the main language for that use was the one by the name "c".

[-] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago

Surely the main language is still c?

[-] lmr0x61@lemmy.ml 91 points 19 hours ago

Non-technical readers? In my Linux memes community??

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 41 points 19 hours ago

They're talking to me. I use Mint. I've never opened the terminal. Just because some of us aren't savvy doesn't mean we aren't at least casually interested. You could totally be joking too, I guess.

[-] poinck@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

Actually ...

I still don't get why Mint with it's legacy Cinnamon desktop is recommended to new Linux users. Even Debian stable with a modern Gnome or Plasma desktop would do more justice to the growing FOSS ecosystem. Or go with Fedora which I recommend to all Linux/FOSS-newbs.

This is a meme, but my strong opinion at the same time. Go with Mint/Cinnamon as long as you like; you'll make your own experiences and it is part of Linux/FOSS, too.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Man, your attitude is why Linux is still so fringe. That purity test shit is a real turn off.

For a casual user like myself, all that matters is my computer boots, is navigable and runs programs that do what I need. Mint/Cinnamon does that. It does it with no fuss. And every time some great FOSS warrior comes along to tell me it's not Linux enough I like it even more. I'm not interested in distro hopping, at all. To be really honest, I'm not interested in my computer. I just use it.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 14 points 15 hours ago

It's a joke, yeah. Well, or rather a meme. This was a real advertisement, before it got memed on pretty hard:

"Pornography? On my computer?" It's more likely than you think. Free PC Check!

[-] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 18 hours ago

It's more likely than you think.

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago
[-] liquidator@piefed.social 9 points 17 hours ago

Damn that's dry joke. Good one.

[-] texture@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

yuck yuck yuck

finally a joke for the dads

[-] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 9 points 20 hours ago

Doctor: Can we talk about C++?
Linus: A-a-a-a-brrrrrr, brbrbr, lololo!!!
