And people ask me “why” when I chose LMDE over Ubuntu-based Linux Mint.

This shit is why. Canonical is huffing their own farts at this point. Don’t dangle shit in front of me if it comes at a price. And yes, I know Linux Mint isn’t under Canonical, but at this point I would rather not support anything Ubuntu-related.

The inability to legally pass is implied

Doesn’t really work though.

I cut up the cardboard and use it for various things around the house, like putting it under the car when I do an oil change, or as liners for the wire rack shelving in my cold storage.

This shit is why I buy carrier agnostic, bootloader-unlockable phones with a healthy ROM dev scene. Rocking a Pixel 9 Pro XL, currently on stock ROM (rooted of course), but will be moving to Calyx or Graphene at some point.

Hell yeah! I already ordered a couple, but thank you!

In windows’ defense, the “complication” comes from the fact that there is no constant visual display of the filesystem structure in a terminal window like there is in the Windows registry.

That said, taking an hour to become comfortable with the terminal is not a difficult task. Understanding ~, and constantly using df -h and ls -al (for me anyway) will help a lot of people figure it out.

I want this sticker

Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.

Rightly so. OS shouldn’t matter one bit. If the customer is paying for a service, then that service should be rendered as paid for, or else it should be discounted.

I know I know… One can dream.

But who was phone

It’s VMs within VMs within VMs.

LMDE is great. I run it on my Thinkpad T14 G1. Runs like a champ, and after installing tlp, it manages to eke out almost 7 hours of battery life with a questionable battery.

I’ll be switching from Windows 10 to LMDE on my desktop gaming PC at some point soon this year. I have no intention of letting Microsoft dictate what I can and can’t do on my custom PC that I built with my own hands. W11 further reduces that capability.

Debian is the stable friend who might not have all the answers at the moment but can help you with whatever you need to do, and does it without ever asking for anything in return.

Debian is love, Debian is life.

I been trying to find old Kindles for sale

Try “Unclaimed Baggage”. We got our kids kindles through them.

My lawyer has one of those. It’s pretty cool.

That’s where I’m at. LMDE is what my desktop will run soon.

Recursive comments

Hey, hey - stop that.

YAML is good for scripting services (like docker stacks), but otherwise I agree, stop using it for absolutely everything.

I don’t care if settings are done by GUI or terminal, I just want clear and concise descriptions for specific settings and not a condescending “go read the man pages you fucking noob”. I’ve been fucking with Linux for over a decade now; a lack of clear documentation is not my problem, and at this point is unacceptable.
