Plot twist: the “wolves” are just furries going to a major infosec conference, and will also talk endlessly about Linux
And about how they penetrated disney so hard with their hairy giant cocks, lol
Do you realize you could simply not type a comment about hairy giant cocks?
Yes
Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.
And systemd vs other init systems, FOSS vs open source, GNU or not, Pipewire and PulseAudio, Windows…
Pipewire and PulseAudio
What is pipewire? Shouldn’t this be alsa vs pulseaudio?
Sir, it’s 2024, not 2006.
Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.
Sir, it’s 2024, not 2006.
Hear me out.
The Wolves got through the airport checkpoints without any issues.
And what do you imply?
It was an argument in favor of the wolves. In fact, there is no implication at all, it was very blatant.
I’ll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can’t hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.
Oh, hi Satan.
Wait, you carry Win11 installation media with you? Who let you out of Arkham Asylum?
This might be one of the few scenarios where the wolves feel bad for him and eat you anyway.
So You Have Chosen Death
Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.
There’s an easy way to solve the hungry wolf problem. Which also solves the other.
Feed the Linux bros to the wolves.
*I use BSD, btw.
I thought it would’ve been for you and the Linux guy to grab the people in first class to feed to the wolves…
We tried that first. Wolves were still hungry.
You say that, but what if they use Manjaro.
Then they won’t be able to talk because their SSL cert has expired
Puppies!
Definitely next to Linux guy. I’ve been working on Linux since very early days, so I don’t talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole “ummmm…actually”.
No, you’re the Linux guy this image macro is about.
Emacs or vi?
nano
Could you give us your opinions on what you would change about bash if you could go back in time and just decide how it was?
Add a 30-second delay after every command to make it harder for hackers
Me, avoiding that hornets nest.
Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.
Super happy to be that Linux guy sitting by myself with no one to bother me while I’m getting things done.
Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, I was in such a situation on the train before. I was just there working and the person sitting next to me noticed I had a linux desktop (in fact, GNU/Linux, btw). They were curious and vaguely interested in switching to linux for a while, so we had a nice conversation about this.
I would not bring this up myself, but it’s cool that this happens sometimes (i.e., once in a few decades of life so far)
Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, what you’re refering to as Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
This is the good interaction, I had the bad version:
Long ago in highschool I was interested in Linux but was thrown off it by the “Tech” group of kids who, even though we went to the same nerdy Star Trek club, told me I would be able to understand it.
I get that hurt people, hurt others; but duck those guys from 20 years in the future.
I’m getting back into interest for Linux cause I just got a Steam Deck and I’m curious as to what else I can do with a full desktop.
Good luck! The way I see it: Linux has its issues, but so do Windows and Mac OS (and others). The cool thing with Linux though is that for many problems you can create/find some form of error logs, google them, and someone online will help you. In most cases they have solved that problem already.
Windows problems often feel like black magic: Something doesn’t work, but all you can do is knock on your laptop, turn it off and on again, and pray. Unless you’re lucky and find a shady program online that you can download and install, hoping the programmers mean well.
With Mac OS, you can often solve problems by throwing money at them. But sometimes that doesn’t work and then you can’t do anything about them and just have to accept the one way to use your computer correctly.
So in that sense I don’t think Linux is “harder”. There are problems of course, but you learn to think differently about them and are often able to solve them.
“You are inside 2 wolves”
I’ll sit next to 1, and I’ll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.
The good old lying approach, I see.
Name an IDE that is better.
i somehow feel this might be sort of a vim-vim situation 😁
Any of the JetBrains suite.
Oh, trust me, it’s not a coincidence that ALL wolves decided to sit away from that uncouth beast.
Oh, when I entered the plane side 1 was still empty
