Well that’s just fine, you’re way less forgettable then I anyhow, practically infamous here. We have seen eachother in debates before, good old fashion bout’s of infighting. lol

Ohhhh, I remember you

Been gone for a while, did my peoples go tankie?

I never said I, nor do I, expect shit from anyone. I don’t blame people for not knowing how it works. This is exactly why I teach people with patience and understanding. Your assuming a lot of things about my stance based of your image of certain linux people. Please read what people actually say, thank you.

PS.

People know I do computer stuff.

They ask me how to get away from microsoft.

I help them install mint.

timeskip

Mint breaks because linux always does (I love it, but it’s just true)

They expect me to fix it, so I usually just start by teaching them how to fix things in the terminal.

It’s just responsible linux ownership. I don’t understand why it’s different then knowing how to use a taskmanager gui in windows.

Can we please stop always pretending that people doing more then checking their email will be fine with linux without even touching a terminal. It’s just a lie we try and pedal to convince people to switch. It’s honestly kind of immoral tbh. It’s not fair the terminal is needed and I do love that teams are taking the initiative to make it accessable, but goddamn! Let’s stop lying about linux not being a bit finicky and sometimes requiring 1 or 2 lines of terminal code occassionally to work fine.

PPS.

There is a reason we teach people to change a flat tire if they own a car, and noone is yelling about that being “the reason noone wants a car”.

“And type systemsettings5, hit enter”

Listen, it’s OK if you have the terminal jitters still. It is really OK. But learning more about how the kind of thing we interact with increasingly often works (that being software, devices, etc.) has never hurt. And maybe it’s just me, but I tend to think learning is good for stimulating the brain. And that is exactly what people need more of in the age of algorithms.

I’m sorry, but learning basic syntaxing and a handful of things about how your device actually functions cannot be a bad thing. And it is certainly not even sysadmin level stuff to teach a person. It’s not even as complicated as algebra (middle to high school level stuff).

My source for my opinion on it’s difficulty is based off from 10+ people of varying degrees of tech litaracy that I have helped learn some terminal things and they all picked it basically right up. It is fully reasonable to teach someone a new skill, so I don’t understand the anti-terminal crowd such as yourself.

And yes, if they happen to have a gui that already does the thing they need, I tell them to use that. You took my meme to a rude place I think…

kernal bug disables their graphics driver

they have no gui and have never learned how to run a command

noone’s there to help them learn this time

they cry and uninstall linux (the graphics could be fixed with a one-liner if they had learned to not have terminal phobia)

unsurprised pikachu face

Ooh yay, more ways for employer’s AI to autoreject people! How fun!

sighs, Ok, fine, if you want to do this rn, I guess we can.

Though I have no doubt it was probobly originally a word meant to slander real communism as the western world has done countless times (few ppl on lemmy would/should deny that the west has produced a shitton of bad anti-commie propoganda), I also fully agree that Authoritarianism does actually exist as much as Capitalism, Communism, and Anarchism exists based off of the actual agreed upon definition. If you take the definition of the system itself, there is no reason to conflate it with Communism. It IS a different system than real Communism, hence why that word was used as Anti-Communist Propaganda. It associates communism with a different (and very real) malignant system to make communism look bad. Sorry if this became too much of a rant, but I really just think that denying the existance of “Authoritarian” states is not a good idea. Let’s explain to people that Communism ≠ Authoritarianism instead of trying to claim that Authoritarianism doesn’t exist.

Edit: I also fully beleive that ANY government/social system can devolve into Authoritarianism if implemented incorrectly or not vigilant enough about making sure not to centralize power in a problematic way.

Are you… being sarcastic?

If so: Good one!
If not: I would not like to enguage in the infighting atm, so I bid you a lovely day,

Does it happen a lot around here though? Most of the time I think we’re mostly just critical of Capitalists and Authoritarians. Usually Socialism, real Communism, and Anarchism are not really critisized except by some .world users.

Edit: Except during a round of good ol’ Leftist Infighting.

It’s really not, until it is. I personally see it as a fallback infrastructure for redundency if Tor, VPNs, Bittorrent, etc. go dark. But other than that, no, it doesn’t really serve much of a purpose rn.

Wait, doesn’t the airpod completely mistranslate and misreprestent the thing that it heard in this format usually? Because if so, this meme is actually (accidentally?) mocking tankies.

Oohhh, does this mean we can stop putting dogs in traumatizing and potentially life threatning situations on the police force?!

Thx, I’ll check it out

I didn’t assume anything, I simply just didn’t even think about power states when using the laptop.

Correct, please send this one to the Emotional Recalibration Camp as soon as possible.

This quote has been yoinked. I need it on a shirt tbh.

You, and only you, may be forgiven. For I am feeling merciful at this time and you asked so nicely bimbimboy.

Yes, that’s why I chose the distro I chose, and why this was not a serious post were I was actually upset, I enjoy learning and reading, I just wanted to make a post about suspend bc it has made me happy. I am also aware the bios battery does nothing once it’s booted, once it’s booted the performance is the same as it has always been. So I assumed the cmos battery is dying, but not dead enough to lose settings yet.
