Do any of you people actually use your OS, or do you just distro-hop and tweak things all day?

This comic strip always weirded me out. It's like the Veggie Tales of comic strips.

Did you forgot about Tamagotchi? It would just be the next iteration of that.

Kids aren't that stupid, in my experience. My son knew at 6 years old that the voice coming out of our Google Home speakers is fake.

I will refuse to call most cars made in the 80s or later "vintage" even though that's the technically correct word. "Garbage", yes. It's just not the same when it's just a shitbox full of dry-rotting composites and plastics. Older cars were something you wanted to keep around. Modern "old" cars are something you're embarrassed to be driving around in.

Thank god macros and functions are different colors in my IDE.

They probably meant things like monopoly breakups, wage increases, lowering healthcare costs, you know, things that directly affect the average person. This isn't going to affect my life in any way whatsoever. This squabble is between governments, not us.

We used to do that a lot, in the 90s and early 2000s. We determined that that's not a good idea. People even ran DEs under root.

Meh, the weed thing isn't that exciting anymore, I'm in Baltimore and pass five dispensaries on the way to work now.

Thanks Colorado, for breaking through for the rest of us though.

Real pros check every line for malware

Noob. How can you trust the underlying libraries and assembly code those functions/methods are coming from? Better get a debugger and watch those CPU registers while it's running.

the lower voltage they operate at calls for more attention to be paid to signal integrity between the CPU and memory

And they aren't kidding around, modern high speed signals are so fast that a millimeter or less of difference in length between two traces might be enough to cause the signals to arrive at the other end with enough time skew to corrupt the data.

Edit: if you ever looked closely at a circuit board and seen strange, squiggly traces that are shaped like that for seemingly no reason, it's done so that the lengths can be matched with other traces.

Haha, I'm still over here messing with 10/100 Ethernet and USB 2 on my home projects. I'm used to bigger tolerances than the truly high tech stuff.

I meant PCBs. I design custom circuit boards.

Perry then defended replacement theory,

"I ain't racist, they're racist."

Immediately proceeds to do a racism

They've been doing it for years. Like the "National Socialists are leftists because socialist is in the name" thing. Ignoring that in Europe at the time, everybody was basically calling themselves socialist to chase the votes of the working population.

They aren't stupid, it's intentional, to muddy the waters for people that aren't very familiar with that history.

I thought brainworms were just a colloquial saying, not an actual thing!

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

Ubuntu is basically dead

It's dead for hardcore nerds that care about such things as snaps and such. But in the corporate world, it's very much alive. I literally just got done installing an Ubuntu-based NVR from Wisenet for a store's CCTV system.

So math is like painting, you can just arbitrarily add a splash of color somewhere to change the mood..

Isn't that still in system RAM at this stage in the boot process?

I was under the assumption that the Constitution applies to all within the sovereign territory of the US, not just citizens. That's why undocumented immigrants are still given trials for suspected crimes.

And if someone chooses to watch that, that's their business. Not nanny government's. Not saying I do. But none of us have any business telling someone else what they can and cannot watch. That's part of living in a supposedly "free" country. We aren't China. You want a "great firewall", then move there.

In our zeal to shun everything China-related, we must not become them.

Parents?? That was my first console. How young is everyone here?

I'm 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.

They aren't. But if one side could grow a pair instead of pretending that the other side is still willing to debate and act rationally like it's still the 90s, that would be great.

All those guns and missiles < fast as fuck carrying just some cameras, always watching, invisible to radar. Don't even know it's there.
