I can’t wait to verify my age to all 14 operating systems in my car. My Traeger grill has an OS. So does my router. Does a bare metal super loop count as an OS? It did in my undergrad operating systems class. Do I need to verify the pilot’s age for all of the operating systems in an F35? Who supplies the ID for the OS in an ATM?
And when you reverse destination and source when using the dd command, you learn an important lesson, “the disk destroyer” nickname is legit.
The bad news for the AI goons is that the capitalists have squeezed us so hard that we no longer have any money to spend on the products we’re programmed to lust after. Not sure what the end game is.
Playing games with kernel level anti-cheat. Some of them were pretty fun. I get why they don’t support Linux, but it is still annoying.
Maybe we should speak to them in a language they actually speak. In this case, I am thinking the proper language is class action lawsuit.
My eleven year old laptop is running Kubuntu. I think it might be a Camry (absent the insanely dominant popularity).
Every time I reboot my Win 11 PC, Microsoft tries to get me to switch to Linux. (I don’t want their online backup and the forced advertisement for it on startup pisses me off.)
And remember his definition of anti-Semitism includes accurately reporting the activities of Israelis in Gaza.
I am just going to mention yum so that I can get downvoted. (We use it at work.)
Well the other kids thought those of us playing Dungeons and Dragons in the early 80s were nerds. Didn’t help that we also made the best grades. We also didn’t dress like the cool kids. It’s hard to separate all of the factors that caused us to get bullied.
Night sweats. Insatiable thirst.
Maybe they should ask their defense contractors about the uses and importance of vpns.
Well, I have not been banned from Lemmy for my anti-Nazi opinions.
A coworker of mine changed his voicemail message to start with the tri-tone that plays for a disconnected number (bah dah deet) followed by a normal voicemail greeting. The auto dialers delete the number from their list when they hear the tri-tone. It did confuse legitimate callers that were trying to reach him though.
Ah, the hazards of dd. The disk destroyer has been earned legitimately many times. I did it to myself once because I got cocky and failed to treat it with the proper fear and respect.
I tried to use dd with too much hubris once. I had to restore from backups (which ironically, I had made with dd). I’m usually overly cautious, but I was in a hurry.
I kind of expected this for Ubuntu.
I use Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS, and Windows.
If I had more free time I would try some more.
In reality, I feel like hide-the-pain Harold.
I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the “graphics” were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).
Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.
I think the selective attention test:
further illustrates the limits of human vision and mental processing quite well. Defense attorneys probably ought to play this video in any case where witness testimony is a big component of the prosecution’s case.
Helium is my current choice.
