Yup. I’m Bo7a.

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.
And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.
You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.
This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.
We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.
Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you
canshould feel.
There is still some nice, decently priced, forest land in Canada if you are OK with no services and 4 months of wet snow!

I grok what you are saying. I just don’t feel that way. To me, music is too subjective to expect anyone to like anything, even if I think it is the bee’s knees.
Maybe it helps that I have always had fairly ‘out there’ musical tastes so I am never shocked when someone doesn’t like something that I do.
Nah. I’m 46 and have never liked them.
You can appreciate and respect that somebody did something innovative while still not liking that innovative thing.
Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)
Caldera linux 1.2.
Those days were magical.
I had just started my university days and I had two young kids who wanted to watch cartoons but we couldn’t afford cable. I ended up scrounging parts from the garbage bins in and behind the computer lab to scrape together a workable desktop.
If I recall correctly it was 333 MHz. Originally installed Windows 98 SE on it. But media would stutter no matter what I did, even if all other processes were killed.
A monk friend of mine (my university was geographically attached to a Benedictine monastery) asked me if I had tried Linux as it should be easier on the system resources and still allow me to play most media.
The rest, as they say, is history.
I finally gave up the hate and embraced the poeterring-ing a few years ago. Can confirm I de-aged by 15 years as a result.
Are you going to apologize for making such a blatantly false claim? Or nah?
Roughly the same here. And yeah this hasn’t been a problem since the very first years. And even then it was just some config tweaks.
I don’t get this. It is a common statement on lemmy especially among the new users. I have been daily-driving linux for many many years, and every install of a new distro gets 3 or 4 DEs added to play around with and find the ‘flavour of the year’ for myself.
I don’t recall this ever being a real problem. Ever.
How long before the repost with ‘Whoa Black Betty’ as the caption?
It is funny how this works out. Up North in Soviet Canuckistan the guys driving f-series trucks are mostly all around 65 years old, have no lift, do 10 under the speed limit, and the box is beat to shit from being used as a truck.
The Dodge Ram and Chevy owners are the 25-40 crowd with cheap beer on their breath, and revving for nothing, while not having a lick of dust on their shitmobile.
You might be bumfuck-nowhere-adjacent. But if you have DSL, fiber, or cable, you are not in bumfuck nowhere.

Egg-based gravy is awesome on fries!
Bull. Shit.
popos tiling works this way as well.
