The joke is the absurd and funny statement, "ladies, my wife is single (and you should date her (implied))". Basically they are best friends who broke up and now they are supporting the other dating by joking absurdity of the situation.

xD just blocked the spammer and all his comments disappeared. Imagine working so hard to spam and it takes 2s to for someone to hide your posts.

Might even say they ran like A55

What's with all these comments saying Firefox is slow!? I've never noticed FF slowing down? I also can't find anything online particularly damning (they all are pretty close in scores. No massive performance numbers for one or the other). I thought this was just a common misconception. Can anyone explain?

My code is so bad good, GitHub thinks I've uploaded an API key.

Weighted blanket

What's up with the ux design of nix? I get it's made for advanced users but still. I'm reading through this guide and man it's convoluted.

The different ways of installing packages. Either through editing the configuration.nix or running a command. The weird inconsistency of nix commands. nix-env -iA to install and nix-env --uninstall to uninstall. Then updating uses nix-channel --update but upgrade uses nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade. All this to use the package manager. Also haven't even mentioned flakes or home manager.

It's a cool OS, but the UX really needs work imo.

[Edit] I do wanna add something else too because I feel like my point isn't getting across.

It's okay to have a complicated ui. Especially if your target audience are tech-savvy. But even tech-savvy people have to start as new users. A tech-savvy new user isn't going to know what the best practices are. Being able to anticipate the steps for installing a package is important for ux. If the commands for installing packages isn't cohesive/intuitive, then the user has to spend more time looking for guides and learning how to use the software.

People also mentioned a new command in the works. This is great! However, these current commands are being recommended through blogs and nix. New users won't know about this new command.

Fuck around and find out

Ah! the classic "Turn it off and on again (but for real this time)". Works every time.

This isn't really guide. More a tool for finding what makes your system look like a VM. pafish is a good tool for detecting vms. It also tells you what gave it away. You can use pafish to find out what is giving you away and fix it.

If you think you might be trans and are worried that you are faking it. You probably arnt faking it. People don't unintentionally fake being trans.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with thinking you are trans and changing when you find a new label which you feel is more accurate. What's important is that you feel comfortable with your decision. No one will persecute for thinking you are trans and changing your mind.

Ai shit

Such a shame they only research cs and teach new cs students.

feels like an ai image. Something feels uncanny and not quite right

My thoughts on this? I think people should care less about what software other people use.

Man, display servers look hard to develop and I'm glad we have two amazing/successful projects to choose between! I think the devs who work on X are doing an amazing job and it's amazing to see how passionate the devs/users are for Wayland.

If bobby tables likes to use x because they know how it works and are comfortable with it, let them work with x! If you think it's okay to judge/pester/shame people because some software they choose to use, shame on you! In the end, does it really matter what you use.

Rage bait post

Log in as root to avoid trying to make sure no files in /home/ are being read/written to.

Step 1: copy data to new drive. Mount new drive to /mnt/. cp -ra /home/* /mnt/. -a means that all permissions remain the same which will mean that your user can still read them. Check the man page for more details. This command will take a while. Use -v to see progress. You should see a folder with your username appear.

Step 2. Prepare /home for new drive. Move the files to a new folder. This is done to make sure you can still easily go back. mv /home/ /home-bak/ keep your old home dir safe in case a mistake was made. mkdir /home/.

Step 3. Mount your new drive. Mount your drive to /home/ and check if you can login. If everything went correctly, you should be able to just login. Finally you need to update your /etc/fstab to include this new drive. This will make sure your home drive mounts when you start your os. If everything is working, you can delete your home-bak as well.

I wouldn't want to sully my repo with something as useful as a gitignore.

Me too melon. me too.

Why wrap a CLI tool in a docker container? Wouldn't it be simpler to directly compile nyancat to multiple architectures if the goal is to make it run on all platforms?
