Takes me back to my first Arch install in like 2008.

I used Arch btw

640 exabytes should be enough for anyone!

Oh is THAT why every American knows how big 9mm is

Well, yeah. Anything less than 0 is freezing and anything greater than 0 isn’t.

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

In NZ, churches don’t have to pay tax. This makes them extremely attractive to people with no skills who want to obtain wealth

RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

“will the company go out of business if this isn’t fixed in the next hour?”

Litmus test for urgency

Purebred and inbred are synonyms

Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

even Valve told Ubuntu users to use the Flatpak for Steam instead of the Snap

Hahaha really? That’s awesome. I wonder if Canonical will ever take the hint that nobody wants Snap when better, more open alternatives exist

Yeah, package manager is a big one. Many of us got burned by rpm’s early on and just avoided all rpm-based distros since then.

Of course as you say that hasn’t been a problem for over 10 years but the scars haven’t gone away.

I’d only recommend Ubuntu to someone if I knew they knew some else using Ubuntu (so I could tell them to hassle that person instead of me when they have problems).

Otherwise, I’d absolutely recommend Fedora, because it’s actually up to date unlike Debian. I use it myself because it tends to have the best of what the open source community has to offer while not needing constant tweaking

And then managers go “why does shadow IT exist?”

…you have my condolences

As someone who works, flatpak’s solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.

Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues

Yep, being familiar with the data model is 98% of the effort.

The remaining 2% is the query
