2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all πŸ˜†

    [–] wpb@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    I'm kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.

    [–] Richat@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 hours ago

    Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!

    [–] CannedCairn@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

    As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.

    [–] MTK@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

    Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

    #!/bin/bash

    ping 255.255.255.0 > checker &

    sleep 5

    kill "$!"

    grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.0'

    ping 255.255.255.1 > checker &

    sleep 5

    kill "$!"

    grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.1'

    ping 255.255.255.2 > checker &

    sleep 5

    kill "$!"

    grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.2'

    ...

    Did I do it coach? 😭

    nmap -sn x.x.0.0/24 I think, was a while. Pure coincidence how I know.

    Edit: no, it's one less x because 16 is the middle.

    That's not a bash script silly.

    [–] ewenak@jlai.lu 4 points 4 hours ago

    Just add #!/bin/bash before the code from above.

    [–] sommerset@thelemmy.club 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Cringe.

    I can assure you no one is such a dire need to come to u for help

    [–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

    It's (I hope) self aware, so there's that at least

    [–] fullovellas@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?

    [–] Piatro@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

    It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

    [–] scaramobo@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 6 hours ago

    On the other hand, the CLIt is something he'll never get to master.

    This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

    The original:

    [–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 1 points 52 minutes ago

    Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.

    [–] Captain_J@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

    As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.

    [–] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    It is a meme? πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

    [–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 hours ago

    No, it's a very serious post that has to be taken literally.

    [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

    I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they're requiring it...

    I think this is very cringe.

    Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.

    Gimp = green is my pepper

    [–] moleverine@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

    β€œβ€¦you have the audacity to come to me for help?

    Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”

    Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.

    The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 34 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

    someone helped you

    New to the FOSS community, eh? πŸ˜‰

    [–] chainysawrs@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

    Sometimes you just need to be told to β€œread the manual”

    [–] Geodad@lemm.ee 11 points 11 hours ago

    Been here since Fedora Core 5.

    Yhe FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.

    [–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

    The meme is poking fun at elitism.

    [–] Geodad@lemm.ee 7 points 11 hours ago

    Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.

    Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.

    [–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    They made a RISC-V version of Excel???

    [–] pelya@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

    Nope, Linux kernel used in that tech demo is for RISC-V architecture

    [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 12 hours ago

    Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead
