Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event.

  • That's one typo that actually makes this less bad.

    • So many bands emphatically demonstrate that successful communication is not about what you say, but how you say it

    Jump

  • I'll upvote any PUSA reference, but I agree that a lot of lyrics seem meaningless, as they refer to bugs and balloons and whatever. Or are they?

    Anyway, the music is great if you like rock, and I'll take lyrics about Matchbox cars over lyrics about bitches and bling.

    • The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It

    Jump

  • Well, for starters, games are going to get more expensive.

    That is their prerogative. Mine is not buying overpriced games.

    • An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers

  • I'm surprised nobody posted the surprised_pikachu.gif yet.

    • What is “olive” in your language?

    Jump

  • Azeitona in portuguese, so yes, it probably came from arabic.

    The tree is called oliveira, and the oil is called azeite.

    • PSA: if you use gnome do not get "dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com" it will fuck up your pc.

  • Oh no, my desktop is fried!

    1. Create a new user.
    2. Login as new user.
    3. Copy your old files over.
    5. Profit.

    • Do you watch the end credits in video games?

    Jump

  • Being young sucks.

    Being old is not so great, either.

    Being dead sucks more, so... yeah.

    • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • You can choose any colour, as long as it's black.

    • Made a big(?) mistake with mv /*/*/* ./

    Jump

  • I always treat the system as discardable and only backup the /home and /etc directories. Saving those, I can afford to wipe the system and re-settle on a new distro if I want to.

    Of course if you throw Windows into the mix, all bets are off. Personally, I stay the hell away from that.

    • Do you watch the end credits in video games?

    Jump

  • I have the end credits of both Portal games in my playlist. I think we can agree those are some of the best credits in gaming history.

    • What is “cheese” called in your language?

    Jump

  • Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

    • Made a big(?) mistake with mv /*/*/* ./

  • Mark it as an achievement on your learning path and move on. We all did something silly like that at some point.

    Great that you have backups, get a fresh install and restore it.

    Lessons learned: don't work as root unless you absolutely positively have a good reason to do so.

    • Microsoft’s Recall feature is still threat to privacy despite recent tweaks

    Jump

  • Maybe it's time you invested some time in finding alternatives that let you stay in control of said hardware. I know time is in short supply for all of us, so consider your priorities.

    • Is it possible to live boot Linux mint with persistence on a usb drive similar to Tails OS?

    Jump

  • You will find unhelpful people in any group of people. Linux community is not special in that regard.

    • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • Boring flat dark design interfaces.

    I miss the CDE colour scheme. The BeOS funky 3D icons. Buttons that look like buttons. Tabs that look like tabs. Now everything is just flat, bland and monochromatic. It's sad.

    • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump

  • This. You have to load a whole ******* web renderer context so that developers can more easily add "features" like emojis and animated gifs to a ******* mail client. Same thing with Teams.

    It's all so woefully wasteful, slow, painful. But it's OK, we now have loads of RAM, fast SSDs, multi-core multi-thread ultra-fast CPUs anyway, and gifs really are a must-have in modern corporate communication.

    Just get out of my lawn.

    • Looking for the Best KDE Distro – Fast, Stable, and Feature-Rich

    Jump

  • Manjaro seems to be a word that gets you down voted pretty quickly.

    I've been using it for years with few issues, but then I'm not using AUR.

    I also use EndeavorOS, Xubuntu, Debian in other machines. One thing that annoys me about EndeavorOS is that using a graphical package manager is not recommended but I've grown to like using those.

    • What are some creative ways to use an unused telephone jack outlet?

    Jump

  • I can confirm those numbers, I once was touching the terminal when a call came through. Shocking experience, would not recommend.

    • Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition

    Jump

  • Different tastes.

    The simplicity, artwork and playability appeals to me.

    • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

  • Thanks for the warning.

    I have the original Talos plus the DLC and love it but I'll wait some years until I have the iron to run the remaster.
