it’s not for everyone but it definitely doesn’t suck. it gives me a feeling of wanderlust that no other game can (except maybe elite dangerous, but i don’t play that).

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).

the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yeah but there’s also been plenty of times i’ve been just screwed on windows where linux would have let me just go fix it myself, so that’s still “linux is the best thing ever” for me.

you forgot --no-preserve-root.

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

i did a double take at that image

it should surprise nobody that a project owned by anthropic is turning into slop.

every time i see a gallery of this guy’s comics posted, they start out innocuous like this, then invariably they start becoming blatant far-right propaganda. every single time. the guy’s a chud.

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”

the joke seems to be that he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, because on top of that, nobody pronounces “d8” as “date.”

ayyy, left-handed artist!

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

when i say “red grapes,” i’m always referring to the ones that are actually red because they have the most satisfying snap when you eat them.

two examples: white wine, white grape juice. both are very common. seems to refer to the juice color, not the color of the grape skins.

when they’re made into raisins, they’re called golden raisins. so “white” isn’t even the only one.

all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

i knew exactly what this was going to be.

i’ve never had an original thought in my life.
