It’s called storytelling. Not all the details are essential to the idea, they are there to paint a picture.

yeah makes sense

fuck it man, with the state of desktop linux these days, just put your files on a seperate hard drive and go full hog. Even vanilla ass debian is ok as long as you go for Gnome or KDE.

have you thought about just going for starting to use databases?

EDIT : like Django + Mariadb feels like something approachable if you are already knee deep in excel power use, which is basically programming. there’s some new things to get the hang of, but once you do, it’s fairly approachable. It has mostly good documentation.

if you’re on LMDE you’re set forever.

IDK, some asshole recommended one of my elderly family members a chromebook, he can’t adapt to it, and lost the admin password. Windows 10 shoves shovelware and random updates on his computer confusing him anyway, do you really think LMDE is going to be that much harder to understand than having to explain to him where the fuck avast antivirus came from?

hey guys, this labour leader is not better. Let’s allow “Reform” to win so that they can do the same thing AND purge britain of all the brown people and gay people.

An Atari 2600 was $160 in 1979. Cartridges were $25-40. Adjust for inflation and that’s $738.56 for a console and $115-184 per cartridge.

Dunkey, is that you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvPkAYT6B1Q

This feels relevant, I recently did my first apt upgrade because I was a dumbass and should have done npm/npx upgrade.

So… The quick trial of a new API/SDK turned into a pant shitting wait to see if I broke my system.

It all worked out in the end

cd ~
nano .bash_aliases

At the end of the file

alias executeOrder="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto remove -y"

Ctrl+X
Y
Enter.

source .bash_aliases

There. Now it’s executeOrder

Edit : .bash_alias(es?) should be in the home folder. Switch to it with cd ~

This is shit. A shitpost if you will.

It’s the floating roof of an oil storage tank outside Moscow, Russia that got destroyed earlier this week.

ok makes sense, thanks.

The video makes that gigantic piece of steel look like it thinks it’s Wash from Firefly.

I saw the video… wat? I don’t watch firefly, I don’t like westerns.

Thank you

can you contextualise this? I thought it was about the flying manhole cover

During the Pascal-B nuclear test of August 1957,[8][9] a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) steel lid was welded over the borehole to contain the nuclear blast, despite Brownlee predicting that it would not work.[8] When Pascal-B was detonated, the blast went straight up the test shaft, launching the cap into the atmosphere. The plate was never found. In a conversation with Bill Ogle, Brownlee estimated its velocity as “six times the escape velocity from the Earth”—approximately 67.2 km/s (150,000 mph).[10]

hence this thing being posted here more than once.

Slow and steady wins the race

what is this, slop-hub’s uptime?

Fucking Cazadors

well, there goes 75% of shitposts on lemmy.

Also a vital support network for LGBT+ people, I guess?
