Explanation for newbies: The GNU/Linux copypasta is an argument made by Richard Stallman that the operating system should be referred to as "GNU/Linux" or "GNU+Linux" because linux is just the kernel and what makes it useful are the various GNU programs and libraries like coreutils and glibc.
Alpine Linux is a linux distribution that ships without any GNU software (though it can be installed using the package manager).
As an X user I support this message.
This comic was posted in 2011 but still holds up today perfectly lol.
Still gathering up my courage to make the switch. The better security / isolation between apps is a huge feature for me. But porting all of my shitty xorg-specific scripts and hacks will be a pain.
I refuse to measure garlic by any unit smaller than a whole head. Recipe says three cloves? Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.
And for people who are still confused: The confusion is the whole point of the joke. Nobody understands what the hell "cow tools" is supposed to mean. Maybe it had something to do with research showing that other mammals, not just monkeys and early humans, were capable of making tools. But nobody knows. It's absurdist humor
Yes, because when this happens to "normal people" it is never publicized as much as when it happens to a celebrity. It's kind of by-definition.
But I am not disagreeing with you. I just don't know enough about andrew tate and this whole situation to have a good opinion here.
See, the thing is, these are all allegations. It won't be proven until his trial in 2027 whether he did any of those things or not (well okay, apart from the misogyny thing, he's admitting that one loud and proud). Despite the fact, he's had money and assets ceased and was sent to jail, which goes against some pretty fundamental values that many people are taught growing up (e.g. Innocent until proven guilty). So I can definitely see how many non-misogynists or even feminists would be on Tate's side even if they disagree with his messaging.
At first I thought that it was a for-fun pet project, which is fair enough, but it has a dedicated website and a discord server... HUH???
yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to get at with my lil meme. I used to get into a bunch of flame wars on the side of android because I would hear the apple people complain about fake made-up issues that I never experienced being a long-time android user. But seeing posts like OP's makes me realize that those issues aren't actually made up, they're completely real and I just wasn't seeing them because I am running a custom ROM. Like, in another thread some guy was concern-trolling about Google Services crashes being a "well-known issue" and everyone was upvoting him. Of course I would have no clue what he's talking about, I don't even have Google Services installed! So yeah, what I'm trying to say is that if you've never used an AOSP-based ROM and your entire experience of "android" are the slow buggy bloated ROMs that come installed by default on most phones, I'd understand why you'd choose to go with Apple instead.
I'm not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn't even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me
Whoa there buddy the post was talking about image generators, which run OK on consumer (albeit high-end) hardware. You're the one who brought up LLMs.
And how can google track me if it's a thing running locally? Just pass --network=none to the docker container lol. Even then you're arguably giving google more useful data by using gmail than any of their AI services. Do you go after every gmail user telling them that they're supporting genocide? As for your fifth point, gauging whether or not something is original art by the permutation space of the medium is reductive. Is a base guitar less expressive than a harp because the musician is limited by the number of strings? Humans make art for many reasons, and one of those reasons is because its fun. Drawing with pencils can be fun, painting can be fun, writing prompts can be fun. People will keep on having AI art competitions because it's fun while you're sitting there in the corner seething about how all of them are genocide supporters. inb4 ad hominem, but honestly you sound insufferable.
EDIT: Downvotes keep pouring in, but no replies. Looks like I won this one.
Here's to getting added to a secret government chat one day 🥂
Explanation for newbies:
Shell is the programming language that you use when you open a terminal on linux or mac os. Well, actually "shell" is a family of languages with many different implementations (bash, dash, ash, zsh, ksh, fish, ....)
Writing programs in shell (called "shell scripts") is a harrowing experience because the language is optimized for interactive use at a terminal, not writing extensive applications
The two lines in the meme change the shell's behavior to be slightly less headache-inducing for the programmer:
set -euo pipefail is the short form of the following three commands:
set -e: exit on the first command that fails, rather than plowing through ignoring all errorsset -u: treat references to undefined variables as errorsset -o pipefail: If a command piped into another command fails, treat that as an errorexport LC_ALL=C tells other programs to not do weird things depending on locale. For example, it forces seq to output numbers with a period as the decimal separator, even on systems where coma is the default decimal separator (russian, dutch, etc.).The title text references "posix", which is a document that standardizes, among other things, what features a shell must have. Posix does not require a shell to implement pipefail, so if you want your script to run on as many different platforms as possible, then you cannot use that feature.
It's funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won't catch on because "federation is too hard to understand" when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model
Fun fact: you don't even need a hard drive (or ssd or usb stick or any storage device) to run linux. You can just flash it directly into your firmware
