  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I installed a new font from the AUR just for this meme.

    You know you can just download arbitrary ttf files to ~/.fonts

    You don't need to install them system wide. That's where my Comic Sans and Gnommish fonts live

    Except ~/.fonts isn't XDG Base Directory compliant. You should put them in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/fonts instead so as to not pollute your home directory with dotfiles.

    This…is not how it goes with my wife.

    [–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    This is exactly how it goes between me and your wife!

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

    Ok but what am I supposed to do if I'm both people in that experience???? Uhh checkmate liberal

    I too advocate for checking your mates

    The fact that I've actually done this while talking to women makes me scream inside.

    [–] UnfortunateShort 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I did as well, she insisted Fedora is better, dodged a bullet there

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    I mean Fedora is better for most. Or maybe opensuse tumbleweed / slowroll.

    Things should roll per package but people should decide how long every package should be tested.

    This would cause unique systems for many though, so some distro versioning, having testing, tested and very well tested makes sense.

    Fedora has this when creeping at the second latest release until EOL afaik.

    [–] [email protected] 51 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    And me with my wife.
    She has no clue what a rolling release or a distro is, and she doesn't care, but she gets horny when I nerd out about something I'm enthusiastic about.

    [–] [email protected] 61 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Lucky! My wife just browses Instagram on her phone , occasionally saying "uh huh," while I ramble on about my latest obsession like a toddler talking about seeing a garbage truck.

    [–] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    I just realized that's how my wife sees me after my son was explaining how a sink works for the 73rd time. My takeaway is I need to be more invested in what he's talking about no matter how boring, cause getting ignored when you're excited about something doesn't feel great.

    The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

    Same! She'll pay attention for a bit, but I realize I can be a bit relentless in my info-dumps.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    It's not really luck.

    My wife is also an instagram addict. But I'm genuinely interested in what she sees in instagram, and she's genuinely interested in what I like. Cause...you know, we love each other.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

    To be fair, I am playing it up a bit. The reality is that she's an extreme introvert and needs alone time to decompress after work. We make it work - mostly by sharing memes with each other.

    It excites my wife because there's still good money to be had in high tech. Once we devs are fully replaced by AI, the horny will end.

    Don't take the medication your doctors are giving you (they are trying to kill your girlfriend)!

    I'm not saying this exact scenario happens, but sapiosexuals are absolutely a thing.

    So your GF is in favor of uncontrollable security issues and massive user scrambling to fix whatever your update fucked up on a daily basis?

    There's a reason updates are batched, this is so fuckdamn shortsighted.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (14 children)

    There’s a reason updates are batched

    Yes. And I like to be the one doing that on my system.

    I would like to ask a question from the esteemed and rather cultured gentlemen/ladies in the chat: why do you think women don't like this sort of stuff? I thought they liked it when a man is passionate?

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Any statement about what women like in general is wrong!
    Women are 50% of all humans, there isn't anything they all like or dislike.

    Upstream should do versioning, the distribution model is flawed.
