Red pill. You can make money, but you can’t make time.

The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldn’t be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we won’t, because I got mine.

Right, I get that it’s not grammatically correct in that context, but the word itself is valid. I had always thought “learnt” was akin to “ain’t”, but that’s not the case. Both “learned” and “learnt” are correct, but the latter is less commonly used in the US.

I’ve heard it used in a sentence like “When I was a boy, my daddy done learnt me a thing or two about fishin’”. Which is why it’s associated with southern slang, I think. That’s my hypothesis anyway.

Like one of those old cassette tapes with a headphone cable when MP3 players first came out and cars didn’t have adapters? Lol

Fun fact, related to this: learned and learnt are also both correct. I always assumed learnt was a redneck thing (I’m from the south), but it turns out the Brits use it too. Who knew?

As an American, I think the moment I said “which one” when asked if I had heard about the mass shooting in wherever it was I can’t even remember now, that was when I realized how fucked our gun policies are.

Damn it, you beat me to it. A wise linux user you are.

Thanks, I wasn’t understanding the joke. This made it much more clear.

Are you posting in the right place, chief?

Because those little fuckers are fun to flick across the room, then get lost under the couch.

Daaamn. I never thought of that. Voter fraud confirmed.

…yet. We’re taking steps to limit your privacy, but don’t worry, we’re not going to do it any more. I super swear.

Based on the 2020 US election, we know at least 74,222,958 people that fall under the seagull intelligence standard.

We send them over to you. It’s starting to work! Unfortunately they reproduce rapidly. It’s a losing battle.

There’s no way that would work, would it? I can’t imagine installing linux to an NTFS volume and it actually functioning.

Oh yeah. I’ve done it just for fun before reimaging a machine. It will mostly complete (some stuff isn’t a real file so rm just fails), and your desktop environment will remain up and running while it happen. Then errors start popping up, icons stop working, nothing loads anymore, you can’t reboot or shutdown because those were actually commands, and they’re missing now…

The key to customization is not going out of bounds. If you customize, do it the way it was intended to be customized, not by finding weird, hacky shit that works like some kind of digital Rube Goldberg machine. If you find yourself writing convoluted bash scripts, and dredging up plugins on GitHub with the last commit from 2012, you’re on a crash course with destiny.

That’s categorically untrue. As long as you stick with well supported, mainstream distributions, most things just work. Given the vast diversity of window managers, init systems, boot loaders, desktop environments, package managers, graphical interface systems, audio systems, and so on… it’s surprising how well things do just generally work in most cases.

As others have mentioned, this is super old. Also, catalyst is not nearly as reckless and dangerous as it should be. It was more like letting a drunk child drive a school bus.
