  • I managed to bork my first Linux mint install by not paying attention to my permissions I was setting for a usb drive and basically locked myself out of the system and prevented it from booting into the desktop environment. Lesson learned, don't copy/paste commands from StackOverflow and run them without thinking about what you're trying to do

  • Too bad Unity axed that project to create a game in-house using the engine to identify weak points and improve the engine. My guess is they realized how many of their acquired tools aren't as good as they had hoped and didn't want to admit they messed up in a few places. I sense lots of tech debt in the engine.

  • The real question is do the fans still smell good when they kick on for the first time? Mine lost its new-factory smell

  • Can't argue with 45TB of storage, fair enough!

  • Immediately thought of Spool, ah old funhaus was peak

  • Google is an ad company first, and as long as that gravy train is flowing they'll be fine. Their dominance as a search engine is just to maintain their monopoly on internet ads, not give customers a good searching experience, hence why sponsored links are the first thing to appear and count as a view in their analytics

  • NetBoot: "rather than offer you then illusion of free choice, I have taken the liberty of choosing for you"

  • If you throw away the trash can from your house, you still have to put the garbage somewhere. If a program is outputting errors or logs, it still needs to put them somewhere, so no more /dev/null means no more default trashcan for the system to send its trash, as far as I understand it

  • They will eventually, they just won't be as brazen about it

  • Ubuntu I feel is a necessary stepping stone for newbie Linux users, myself included. It's a starting point that some may never leave, but as the user gets more comfortable I would hope they'd branch out to a different distro that better suits their needs. Sometimes it's Ubuntu, many realize they should just run Debian with their wm of choice. Regardless of where they land, at least they aren't using Windows

  • Yall remember that scene in Inception where the old people go to someone's basement and dream all day with that machine?

  • Wasn't there a basketball coach that got fired for saying basically this, albeit not as...elegantly?

  • A lot of the episodes are on YouTube

  • I'll eat a sock if they do this. Take2 are some real hoes for microtransactions and have no issue cranking out half-baked content to the masses

  • Dilly dilly, Mullvad is great. I prefer it over ProtonVPN just for how lightweight and simple it is

  • Well they're not gonna cut top salaries, can't have any of that, it's bad for business!! Imagine being able to only afford one yacht instead of your standard three! Gotta let those lackeys at the bottom of the pyramid go, what're they even holding up, anyway? The foundation of the company? Surely not.
