Ask the guy to hold down the wolves while I teach them how to install Debian
But it’s all herbal and natural!
dried plants are no less effective in making you vomit than synthetic drugs
It doesn’t matter for most drugs, as long as you can tolerate the taste. There is a gastric ulcers medicine that’s basically a weapons-grade concentrate of chili pepper, eating it raw will cause most people to vomit. Some rare drugs react poorly with saliva, and there are also drugs which are designed to dissolve not in your stomach but in your intestines, but those are usually not capsules but thumb-sized pills with coating so thick you won’t be able to chew through it.
Capsules are considered more advanced drug packaging because none of the drug dissolves in your mouth when you swallow capsules. Unlike pills, 100% of the drug goes straight to your stomach, so there’s no variation in the drug dosage, and the patient won’t complain if the drug is bitter.
Also because you can open the capsule and pour it into the glass of water, if you have trouble swallowing pills. Which defeats the first advantage, and you can simply order powdered drug instead of pills, but it won’t come pre-packaged as pills so it will be more expensive.
None of that matters for vitamins, you generally need more than 1000% of the daily dose for it to become harmful, so each pill contains more than your body really needs, because there are no side effects, so you can buy a pill and lick it, chew it, crush it, and add it to your coffee, and it will still work just fine.
Nope. The LGPL license only requires that the user must be able to replace LGPL libraries with their own version. In theory root access is not required, but it will require some heavy effort from the manufacturer to provide a way to replace system libraries without somehow leaving a huge root exploit. Unless they implement virtualization.
You can listen to FM radio with gqrx relatively easily, if you can navigate through hundreds of input boxes.
sudo apt-get install gqrx
Anything more complicated will require some coding knowledge, unless someone already created a library for that specific thing.
There is also a ready-made package to listen to GPS signal, unfortunately it needs an external amplifier and a proper antenna, because RTL-SDR is not sensitive enough for GPS.
It’s false that you cannot sell GPL-licensed work.
Busybox was quickly replaced by BSD-licensed Toybox everywhere for that exact reason.
Copyleft licenses (like the Gnu General Public License) mandate that all derivative works remain free.
This is false. It’s perfectly legal to take GPL-licensed work, modify it, and sell it. As long as the work itself does not reach the general public, you don’t need to release it’s source code to the public (e.g. your work for the military, you take money for your work, and provide source code to them, but not release it publicly).
Subway that arrives almost to my office. Yes it’s a bit slower overall, but I can doomscroll my phone for a hour per day instead of rotating the wheel for the same amount of time.
I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.
The first one is a fancy CPU warmer. The second one will play loud noise through your headphones, and setsid
will make sure you can’t stop it with Ctrl-C.
There was a thread about console commands seen in movies or TV, when the actors need to do some ‘hacking’ on camera. And the most common one was just installing updates to your Linux distribution of choice.
My go-to joke is
cat /dev/urandom | pxz | grep haxx
Or if you want to be nasty
setsid sh -c 'cat /dev/urandom | pacat -p'
As for puns, less
command does the same thing as more
on MS-DOS.
tar c file | pxz > file.tar.xz
I’ve used FreeBSD for about a month in 2005, and still can’t stop talking about it.
I advise booking a city square, loud music, background dancers, printed flyers with the URL of your Github repo, and a big countdown clock when you change repo visibility to public (Github has an option for that, but you need to click it yourself at the exact time, there no option to publish it on timer).
I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.
Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.
It’s exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.
That’s also why communists banned all religions, they don’t want any competition.
