Just..

        $ sudo su  


  

..bam, no more sudo. And likely no more system within a few sessions 🫣

Solution? Just don't make mistakes. Ezpz. /s

Yeah the search tool isn't the greatest, tho I expect third party maps of communities will spring up at some point.

Thanks.

I have no critique of anyone's preference. I joined the linux board looking for discussions on novel ways to use the system.

Since I haven't found that here, I thought I'd add a comment to see if it's just me. And I wanted to check to see if there is an alternative forum for such conversations.

Maybe a shell, bash, scripting, or man page community. Idk.

Is it just me that dislikes when packages are mentioned instead of a series of terminal commands? I don't want to install a package. Why would I want to rely on a package and it's maintainer when I could write a shell script using the tools native to my OS?

Is this unreasonable or just unpopular?

After the lecture on gay frogs sir/madam.
Please respect my time.

Doot doot doot.
The United States is becoming a fascist police state.
Doot doot doot.
Can't protest, can't object, can't question. Just obey!
Any disruption to the profit machine means your comfortable existence is forfeit.
This is fine.
Actually let's elect more strong men, they'll surely make it better. /s

I always wondered why the founding fathers were looked at with such admiration and reverence for founding a country with concepts that seemed like common sense. I misunderstood. It wasn't common sense at all, rogue arrests, intimidation, threats, that is actually common sense to the monkeys that we humans are. I guess I was naive.

When the people rise up, crush them. Sure is easier than listening, responding with ideas, and respecting democratic institutions.

a demon from hell, clearly

(jk, hell doesn't exist, the idea of an afterlife is a placating tactic devised by religious heads to get people to accept a subservient life so they can enjoy paradise in the next one, which doesn't exist, but you're dead by then so, mission accomplished. it had it's place in the times when it was founded to create order but in the modern era it turns people into subservient cattle for the system. wait, is this a Wendy's? again??)

Since I'm old and a lot of you aren't I'll explain the reference.

Mindy's defining traits seem to be her curiosity and her obliviousness. Mindy likes to chase things that interest or intrigue her, and though she usually has a single-minded focus on her target, she will sometimes stop her chase to question passersby about what they are doing– one repeated joke is that she will ask people "Why?" until they give up on the conversation; usually this takes about three "why"s, and she will end the conversation with her customary "Okay, I love ya, buh-bye!"

Example.

Hahahaha. Jeez I hope not. I love the little guys but I'd flip the fuck out. I drop them down into my basement, usually never see them again tho sometimes they make their way up to the main house.

😊 Thank you! I am.

Um sir or madam, I believe Bugs Bunny said it does, in case you missed that.

Have you seen what he is capable of? Have you witnessed the trauma of Elmer Fudd? You're treading on thin ice, I would advise that you exercise caution for your own sake.

Oh I know, I just wanted a copy too.

Deleting posts from the user PoV was the only way I could come up with to force the API to show them to me.

Dwarf Fortress LNP is free and doesn't require a mouse 😉 It requires a special type of insanity to learn, but the rewards are WELL worth it.

Here is a video of a drainable/refillable moat I made.

The quick transitions are Z-axis movement, you can only view one full Z-axis at a time. Dwarves go down so you'll be diving into the depths of hell. Oh, and don't mine the mithril tube unless you want to experience "fun". No further spoilers. 😁

If you don't want to learn the ascii, LNP comes with a few toggleable tilesets you can swap between, I personally just prefer the ascii. Once you can see it, it's like being able to see the Matrix.

Sure, you are allowed to have a firearm. As long as we (the police) never see you with it, or anything shaped like it, on your person ever, even if you are inside your own apartment. Oh, also don't be black. Black people all have guns all the time. /s

That constitutional right doesn't feel very constitutional when it's a death sentence to exercise it.

He's got a gun! Quick! Murder him as fast as possible!

But we have the right to have them? Oh wait I get it, you have the right to have a firearm but not the right to be alive at the same time, ahh, now it makes sense. Got me with the loophole, no "right to live while bearing arms" in the constitution, but you can bear arms, just gotta forfeit your right to be alive.

Before reading, know that my response is mostly off-topic.

As an American it always seemed strange to me the perception of someone as an outsider. I know other Americans do it too so it's not like we are some special snowflake country, we have a lot of intolerance of course.

But idk, to me Americans have all sorts of accents, indian/asian, hispanic, african, australian, whatever. I never considered that someone who sounds different wouldn't be the same as every other American.

Not sure if this train of thought is shared by other countries. I have heard that Japanese people will basically never consider anyone not native to Japan as anything other than foreign. That is a strange thought to me.

I guess I'm bad at being bigoted.

Same, makes perfect sense.

Well, I'm not glad I'm not gay, I just mean to say.. okay explaining is just gonna make it worse. I was just trying to meme. Please don't send me to gayjail.

I see these leggy boys in my basement all the time. Wolf spiders, leggy boys, and me are allies. I often have to save the spiders from my cats. Damn things suck at not dying to cats. Never seen my cats kill one of these tho.

This is similar to when I heard reddit was doing the API lockdown, I wrote an automation bot over the weekend that self-destructed my subreddit and the entire post history. The bot also automatically downloaded and archived all of the content on my local machine.

It was annoying because at first I couldn't get access to older posts since at the time reddit had changed their API to only show the first X posts (100 or 1,000 or whatever). So I told my bot to delete the posts as it archived them so as I deleted content, reddit had no choice but to populate the page with the older posts.

And that's how I archived my subreddit. Reddit banned me two days later for automation, lol. I did not break any of the reddit or reddit api ToS during this process but I guess I upset someone.

No, I'm thinking I either responded to the wrong post or the wrong video played for me. I was responding to a video about the US Army executing 13 black soldiers in the 1910s. Damn mobile sites.
