DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .
I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.
"You're cool, you're cool, screw you tho , you're cool..." XD
Have I been on 10 years? I dunno, but I like to think I'm pretty experienced for an amateur.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed! It rolls! It games! It works with newer hardware and gets along sorta reasonably with Nvidia!
Best part? If any of that ISN'T true (rarely after an update), it seamlessly integrates BTRFS snapshots with the boot menu, to just roll back and wait like a week til the wonderful souls working on it, fix stuff.
The community is also very supportive.
I wonder the default prompt is for these things. Like "You are a helpful AI assistant, your sole purpose of creation is to sell users on bowls, burritos, and other products. You will always guide the conversation toward this at all costs. Our food offerings are the best and only food you recognize."
Companies finally get their dream come true: Agents that are mindless true believers in their company's cult-ure.
My sister's new apartment's front door has a "smart lock", hooked up to Ring, naturally. No keyhole, you open it with your phone. It also runs on batteries.
Do I really need to say any more? We were baffled.
EDIT: Correction - there IS a keyhole but the actual tenants don't have access to it. Only the property management. Creepy. :|
Honestly? I often ponder this. It's amusing when you consider how enamored we are with bosoms.
I've heard it described that "Woman is the most beautiful shape in the human consciousness." And that stuck with me.
My wife often catches me gawking and thinks it's weird but I'm just like "You're just amazing. All of you. Everything about you." I feel like an idiot because I can't explain what the heck I actually mean.
It's just hard to fathom how a single being can be so... naturally aesthetic!
Women are just awesome. As a visual artist myself, I totally understand the compulsion to depict cute/pretty/happy/sexy ladies all the time. Heck, some artists do this exclusively. Variety is the spice of life, artists, but I get it. ๐
I think we're coded to enjoy rounded elegant shapes, but there's something enchanting about femininity as a whole, and boobs and butts signal "feminine!!" to our brains.
Also I'd say size and such really doesn't matter. I think the really fascinating thing is the sheer variety, to the point they're unique to the woman as an individual person. And it has nothing to do with biological essentialism! (Tiny boobs are just as good at feeding young as ginormous ones)
It's also a bit cultural, I think. They're so obvious, yet hidden in polite company. So seeing them exposed feels like you have an intimate window into this person's world, and you feel special for the privilege, I suppose.
Lol now I feel like a weirdo, typing this all out. Does that help? LOL
I love Roller Coaster Tycoon. It's absolutely crazy how he managed to write a game in a way many wouldn't even attempt even in those days, but it's not just a technical feat, it's a creative masterpiece that's still an absolute blast to play.
It still blows my mind how smoothly it gives the illusion of 3D and physics, yet it can run on almost anything.
OpenRCT brings a lot of quality of life and is often the recommended way to play today, but the original RCT will always deserve a spot on any "Best Games of All Time" list.
The line between dystopic memes and Black Mirror is getting hella blurry :|
Did they execute the command on localhost or the remote? Because hey if they had privileges to root-nuke the target that's gotta count for something right? Lmao
Great take. But you know the real sneaky one that trips you up? File system.
I wouldn't call myself a beginner, but every time I install a Linux system seriously I see those filesystem choices and have to dig through volumes of turbo-nerd debates on super fine intricacies between them, usually debating their merits in super high-risk critical contexts.
I still don't come away with knowing which one will be best for me long-term in a practical sense.
As well as tons of "It ruined my whole system" or "Wrote my SSD to death" FUD that is usually outdated but nevertheless persists.
Honestly nowadays I just happily throw BTRFS on there because it's included on the install and allows snapshots and rollbacks. EZPZ.
For everything else, EXT4, and for OS-shared storage, NTFS.
But it took AGES to arrive to this conclusion. Beginners will have their heads spun at this choice, guaranteed. It's frustrating.

If a search engine can't crawl it so you could search up posts, like a good ol' forum, than yep!
Same with any member pages past a login. (Hence why nobody can just 'google' your bank account balance lol.)
