On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet

I know you’re 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

They don’t want to at all but I’ve chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows

No, I’m putting a gun to their head and they will use Linux. /s

I have gotten a few comments like these, not sure why some of you are getting the idea that this is a forced switch lol

Bingo!

They wanted to give it a try so win-win for both of us if they end up liking it.

Awesome, thanks for this! Looks promising, I’ll check it out.

You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.

Why not just try to get it to run on your machine?

I wanted to gauge the level of effort involved first. I easily can sink hours into tinkering something and getting it to eventually work but sometimes it isn’t worth it.

Nope

That’s a good and sadly realistic point.

I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy

Not only is this racist but it’s lazy and unfunny too, even without the racism. Who buys discs anymore? Are you a boomer?

A new federated platform that is self-run, hosts your identity only and allows you to interact from websites from your own app on your own phone or computer, to start. None of this signing up 500 trillion accounts for each and every website garbage.

But Lemmy can literally do this. I am doing it right now. I’m the only user on my instance.

Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? A company should not be promoting Christmas and then banning any mention of non-christian holidays. Just don’t mention them at all then

Thank you for the heads up. I was considering OpenSUSE bc I am looking for a new distro after Fedora’s telemetry bullshit. Not anymore

My experience with IRC is that just like Reddit was, it is filled with entrenched mods and admins that act like petty kings and treat the channels/servers as their personal fiefdom. Some of these people have been mods and admins for like 15+ years. Incredibly cliquish and off putting, hostile to new users.

I think IRC could work but only if you create your own server and invite like minded people, and maybe rotate mods/admins regularly, lest the same thing happen to your server.

If I was Sisyphus, I would simply NOT push the boulder.

Just took a brief glance at that guy’s twitter and discovered that this is not satire. Explains a lot

Fair enough I will take the L

I loved the original 196 and how supportive it was for LGBTQ+ people. Also because it was hilarious. Keep rockin
