This meme shows up here way too often...like every other day....
Noticed that too, my memory is absolute godshit and even I remember having seen it at least twice now in the current recency.
We are really mimicking Reddit.
And it's not even that great of a flex too. "My OS lets me sudo commands that will break my system." Great, so your system lets you accidentally break the system with a fat finger mistake? Why would I want that?
Windows is geared towards a general audience that includes some of the dumbest and least technically literate people to ever walk the earth. And they have to support it. Of course they're going to limit your permissions.
In case anyone is wondering, that pile of symbols means true in brainfuck
I wasn't wondering. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Wait, all of that for just a Boolean true value or is that some sort of logical expression?
Maybe it’s the string “true”?
Not true, it outputs "Wipp" to the console
That it doesn't mean "true" can be immediately seen by the fact there's a .. in there, which outputs the same character twice
Me: "I'm going to change Python3 default to >3.7" Ubuntu: scream in exceptions
pyenvand chill. Practical default it in your shells without messing with what installed packages expect.Yeah, but still those packages should probably not be calling the generic
python3if they need a specific version of python. If they depend on system installed pip packages, there's got to be a better solution.I'm more of an
asdfguy myself.
Symlinks all day
eselect python
Hmmm, not having a problem with that even though I have it at 3.10
I must've been doing something wrong, symlinked Python3 to 3.7 and apt ecosystem breaks on me in 18&22 LTS

This is why I love NixOS so much.
Wait... Microsoft is still pretending that having their web browser installed is vital to the continued operation of their OS?
Well, in their eyes, it seems vital to be sending me adverts as notifications, I guess it's probably also vital that those adverts have a browser to link through
Did we not teach them a lesson about this in the 90s?
The lesson they learned in the 90s is that you can drag a trial out long enough to get a favorable administration in office to give you a slap on the wrist.
Can you install applications in any other way on windows?
You can just run the portable version without installing.
Yes, you can install Chocolatey without using a browser.
that brainfuck code gives a memory error :(
No way you actually tested it. It would be impressive
This is the correct piece of
shitcode, somehow my lemmy app didn't write it well in the title+[--->++<]>+.++[-->+++++<]>++.Sure, blame the IDE.
Online compiler said it was
W
How TF can a brainfuck program throw a memory error? It operates on an infinite array of bytes that wrap around on overflow.
This website prints "Wipp" for the code in the title.
The first thing I do on every install. Delete the bootloader and all the bloat files in /. Especially those goddamned .files
Aaaaannddd again.
Install Linux, drop any and all Microsoft software, you don't need it
Fuck everything about Microsoft
And lately I'd like to add Google yo this too, but at least google has working and dependable products
This is a bit unrealistic. Games may work better than they did in the past, but performance isn't 1:1 yet. More importantly, device drivers can be a lot more dicey.
Personally, the main thing keeping me from actually using my Linux partition most of the time is that my mouse buttons can't be properly rebound. Yeah, I could find some janky work-around, but that would be eating into my workflow.
I also do, in fact, need Windows for development.
GNU is great, but pretending it's a viable Windows replacement for every use case is just disingenuous. It doesn't help anyone and it only makes GNU supporters seem that much more out of touch with the average user's experience.
There are literally people who will think the internet is broken if they accidentally delete their browser shortcut or just straight up can't find it in the sea of icons on their desktop. These are the users that Windows is protecting from themselves. The same users probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to use the command line if their life depended on it.
There's a place for Windows, and there's a place for GNU. I'd love to see the place for GNU expand and the place for Windows shrink, but that doesn't make it so.
This feels out-of-touch itself, like you haven't actually tried in years. Yes, to rebind your mouse buttons, you will have to install a piece of software, and tell it what you want each button to do... Exactly like you have to do in Windows. I haven't seen any janky work-arounds needed, and the software is a lot more responsive than I was used to in windows with the official logitech software. You don't need command line in linux any more often than you need to edit the registry in windows - your typical PC user can get by without it just fine and probably should stay away from it. As for game performance, there will always be variability here, but there is no hard and fast rule like "you will lose 20% performance in linux vs windows". Some stuff may not get along with proton or linux (big one is some of the "bad actor" anti-cheat stuff, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread that just won't work at all), but the vast majority is running great under linux - imperceptibly different, if it is even different at all. Finally, there are plenty of distros that will handle all the drivers you need with little to no input from the user. One of the primary selling points of PopOS is fantastic graphics driver support "out of the box", but they aren't alone - many make the process invisible or butter smooth.
I always love how many people that don't use linux to do 'X' thing, feel the need to tell people that do use linux every day for 'X' how bad linux is at doing 'X'... People going into windows specific communities and shouting about how bad windows is for 'X' or 'Y' task would be shunned to oblivion if not outright banned, but they come into the linux communities every day to tell us how bad linux is??
Bailing out, you are on your own now. Good luck.
I swear I've seen this meme like 10 times
Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I'm at 50+ right now.
Please, have mercy, I have seen this meme sooo many times already...
Back when Windows 98 just released and I was a kid, my friend's dad used his Acer boot CD to boot into DOS and rename the Windows directory to Linux.
C is the same. Free to do whatever you want until the system stops you. Yet people hate coding in C for some reason, as there isn't enough hand holding.
I recognized it as Brainfuck, but assumed it was going to be a fork bomb for some reason.
I misidentified it as regex somehow.
I'm pretty sure it's Kricketunes cry in text format
Uninstalling the bootloader will brick your device.
Are you sure you want to uninstall the bootloader?Society has stopped to extremes.
One of my favorite passtimes is breaking Linux and then fixing it.
Wanna fuck up your os without knowing it? Sure
I certainly know that I am fucking up my os. I'm just not sure how yet.
Most linux distros will warn you extensively before you can do something like unmount the disk you're on or dulete your bootloader. You will know when you are about to wreck your system.
Facts.
