Damn
Wouldn't have made much sense since it doesn't use GNU utils by default. Also Hinduism lacks a sufficient amount of elephants to put all big source distros there anyway.
It would make sense in a meme about docker though, Alpine is really popular for containers.
If the extension API would be changed so they couldn't crash our shell session, extensions would become way less powerful and be mostly useless.
That's not true, a proper API would enable probably 90% of existing extensions to be portable since they more often than not "just" add stuff into different places without really modifying anything. And if they really are worried so much about developer freedom they could still allow for the current monkey-patching approach to exist for those extensions that would otherwise not work, so the user ends up with more options than just "no extension at all" or "from now on shit may crash". To allow random code to run right in the shell (which is one of the most important pieces of software in an end-user facing system) and/or actively manipulate its code without sufficient measures to ensure stability or at least recoverability is just not an acceptable status Quo in my opinion.
I'm sad and annoyed about this whole situation (therefore memes) ever since a Gnome dev confirmed to me they (meaning some board; their orga structure is rather stiff) actively decided against doing anything about this problem. I love Gnome, but I had to move to KDE simply to have a modern, stable desktop that I could trust in a production environment without feeling so barebone.
If someone posts AI slop memes, help ratio them.

Nothing, unless you really want to use a DE that's still lacking behind in its adoption. There are a few tools that still only offer early support for it (like RustDesk), but otherwise Wayland is a way better choice these days. However if you got an Nvidia GPU and need to use the proprietary driver you might be forced to still use X11. Their pile of garbage still routinely bugs on Wayland, and given their work on NVK I doubt that thing will ever get fully fixed.
To my knowledge it isn't them constantly running that wears them out most, but spinning up and down very often. Weren't NAS drives designed to never spin down for that very reason?
Especially since the manpages are not written to always be comprehensible for end-users, but for developers and professionals. Some tools like tldr can help, however they rarely come preinstalled and aren't getting the attention they deserve.
Well, they arguably can also be used as one big long-term storage. Not sure who'd need to save so much data for a long time, but there surely will be at least some people who do and buy the "modern solution" over old HDDs thinking they're better in general. As the "family backup" for example, or as cold storage solution in faculties that can be quickly accessed if needed.
Read somewhere about a professor who used SSDs to "permanently" store important data on SSDs (perhaps in the comments of the article above) for a few years. Well, wasn't that permanent…
More reliable
Heavily depends. If you want to use it as long-term cold storage you absolutely should not use SSDs, they're losing data when left unpowered for too long. While HDDs are also not perfect in retaining data forever, they won't fail as quickly when left on a shelf.
Afaik KDE and Gnome do use SIGKILL at some point except for certain processes like running package managers. At least they are able to forcibly close almost anything if you really insist on shutting down now, depending on your (distro) configuration. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from my experience in Gnome you have to click on shutdown twice for it to happen, while KDE gives applications a 60 sec grace period unless you click a button in a notification pop-up.
Edit: Not sure how it is in the terminal aside from those 1:30min grace periods during shutdown.
Just criticizing a toxic culture that causes systemic problems. It's both sad and funny you still think I'm the one with the problem though.
Should've been more verbose with that argument.
Yes, there was that single safety measure. Will this single thing with the white text next to hundreds of other rows of white text create sufficient awareness to discourage someone who was 1. told by the internet that "this is the solution!" and 2. has no notion about the severity of this action given they've nothing to compare it to except systems (and the web) that constantly cry for attention? Lol no, absolutely not.
There's a good reason fatal warnings are almost always red or yellow and there are literally pictograms of human skulls in warning signs. People will not understand some white text next to a ton of other white text (that's utterly incomprehensible to most of them, raising the tendency of people to disregard all of it) paired with something akin to a captcha as the fatal warning it was meant to be. That is not how (a majority of) humans work. The warning as it was back then provided no sufficient safeguards for newcomers, yet gave people sufficient reason to blame them. Although, and that's the worst part, they have to be applauded for even featuring a warning at all.
The argument that came up afterwards was about exactly this, making the warning adequate and sufficient so even if the information on the internet said they should execute this, people are still being made sufficiently aware so they're more likely to stop despite feeling that whatever they want might be just around the corner. But of course there'll always be some people who prefer to call others stupid for their lack of experience or mistakes, especially if they want to protect something from criticism they identify with.
My previous statement was bad, but I stand with the opinion about the whole debate from back then being a good example.
No, I am the fire department for my family who're currently moving over to Linux and are already fed up with the communities' toxicity and unhelpful nature in most corners of the internet. And I can't blame them, it's an awful experience. The self-righteousness you're putting on display with your comment is part of the problem.
are you trying to say that there are Linux enthusiasts that protest GUIs being made simple and intuitive, and that if they succeed, would-be Linux users will go back to Windows, which is more intuitive?
Not just GUI, but that's a prime example. A good one would also be the whole debate about warning measures in apt so it doesn't just happily remove essential system components like xorg. That debate came up after LinusTechTips' video where Pop!_OS became unusable as he tried to install Steam. Good example as countless people blamed him for "executing commands he didn't understand", he as well as System76 were flooded with hate for "making Linux look bad". Which, well, in that case it absolutely was as there were no safeguards or structures preventing either a wrongly configured package to be published in the repo, nor for the user to not remove essential parts of your system with a command that isn't specifically about them (sudo apt install steam).
Anyone who's arguing that more of the Linux software stack should aim to be more stable and accessible usually gets hated on, and people who're new to Linux but also say they don't want to get into PCs but just use it and for it to work are getting alienated and in some cases outright attacked.
Windows obviously isn't really more intuitive compared to a fully working Gnome or KDE environment except for people who already know it for decades. That's not what it's about in this case though, but people who expect literally everyone to spend weeks and months learning about concepts, commands and structures in their computer that by now is second nature to them but not interesting to many others. It's xkcd 2501 in a nutshell, but with toxicity sprinkled on top. Common users mostly have to stay in certain corners like the Linux Mint forums to consistently have a good time, and it really sucks.
Summer more being like "in a locked-in way" because I sure as well won't leave my air-conditioned apartment if it's over 30°C outside.
Yeah… I'm quickly reaching the point where I'm quicker thinking and writing Python code than even writing the prompts. Let alone the additional time going through the generated stuff to adjust and fix things.
It's good to get a grip on syntax, terminology and as an overly fancy (but very fast) search bot that can (mostly) apply your question to the very code that's in front of you, at least in popular languages. But once you got that stuff in your head… I don't think I'll bother too much in the future. There surely are tons of useful things you can do with multimodal LLMs, coding on its own properly just isn't one of it. At least not with the current generation.
This meme could've only been made by a very privileged person with a perfect childhood.
I try to like your project really hard given it's open source, the only proper one in the social media manager category that's self-hostable at that… but my god, this whole generative AI stuff combined with social media and marketing sounds like the epiphany of sloppy shit.
Good thing there isn't one since we probably live in a donut.
"getting murdered by the police"
It was dark humour. Given how dark it was it probably got murdered on the way to you as well.
