Ah good ol Grafo. Chloevely was short but good.
Kid named Chromebook
cries in un-Linux-able chromebook (I can only do smth like crouton on it)
un-Linux-able
Damn, that should be fucking illegal
I know, it’s so annoying because a WM would run so beautifully on it and then I would actually enjoy using it on campus/on the go to edit documents
As if apple users had no fuckin clue
My mom is tech illiterate and I buy all her devices for her. If I gave her a Mac she’ll just use it without knowing what OS it is.
weeeeelllllllll …
(jk)
Oh, look! I have a weird windowzzzz with a weird dock! Is it windows 12!? /s
Worked in a repair shop long enough to know that a whole lot of mac users just know they bought a “better computer” without any idea of what an operating system is, someone showed them that the photo they took on their phone magically appeared on their computer and that was all the info they needed to pay 2 grand for it

Arch btw ;)
I literally bought the wrong version of a game called Heretic on Amazon in the early 2000s because it “had a cool penguin on it” lmao
So not the fantasy shooter based on the Doom engine? :(
Oh it was we just had to return it and buy the right one haha the shareware copy held me over for a bit longer
Heh, nowadays Shadow of The Serpent Riders is the only version worth having these days, unless you’re a glitch hunter.
Penguin people for sure know theirs
And they’ll tell you about it every time.
I use NixOS, btw.
Man of culture
i use multiple os.
I use even more! (j/k)
Insert GNU/ LINUX Copypasta here. To feed the meme: I use Pop!_OS btw
I use Arch.
There are some tech illiterate people, who use Linux without knowing it, because their child set it up for them.
80% of people using Android.
You’re being generous.
98%
Or their sibling (e.g. my sister).
If you don’t know what OS you’re using, how likely are you to know or understand what this app is?
I use Linux and I have no idea what this program is for. Something about a comic book series?
Self actualization has to start somewhere.
Personally, if you can’t tell me if you are running Windows or MacOS, I don’t really want you downloading my software
Why? Are you feeling bad about all the adware you bundled in?
deleted by creator
Even more people can’t get Linux to run.
better yet is the program doesn’t even have a comment feature

I used to work with internet service for trains. I remember one support ticket filed by the train conductor:
“Internet doesn’t work”
No info regarding area
No info regarding when
No info regarding which carriage
…or even which train.Well, I managed to jump through a few hoops, figuring out the schedule for this particular individual, and could deduce which train at least. Nagios reported everything as fine, but sometimes Nagios can lie, so I tracked it down and did the usual diagnostics onboard. Couldn’t find anything wrong.
I phoned up the guy and it turned out he’d forgotten to enable wifi on his phone.
have you been im it long enough to see some that used their cd drive a coke holder.
I’ve done that myself.

For the confused: it seems to be a Visual Novel (possibly nsfw?) by the person who makes the comics with this character you’ve probably seen
Doesn’t he draw mostly naked characters in this series that look like they’re goddamn 12 year olds? That might relate more to related materials than the visual novel itself, but still.

And before he blew up with these comics, he made a fantastic series of RimWorld comics, which I highly recommend!
Oh it’s the Reddit guy
Yeah, the one who draws an imaginary teen girlfriend and unfunny cringe comics
Does anyone really not know if they have an apple or windows device…?
Some people are very braindead you know
I wouldn’t say braindead. They just don’t care (because all they need a computer for is to read emails and use a text processor) or haven’t had the time to learn yet (every known fact must be learned for a first time at some point in your life, which means there is a time in your life where you don’t have that knowledge yet (ie. the time before you acquired that knowledge)).
I don’t know, it sounds a bit Linux circle-jerky to me but then again a lot of people are indeed very clueless, true!
Not if you are on Android phone.
I think you mean a “Samsung”. Because like 50% of people using Android have no idea that they are.
I think you mean a “Pixel” because most Samsung customers only care that it’s “Not an iPhone”
For the past decade or more, people have been asking me if my phone is “iPhone or Samsung”, USB micro/C are referred to as “Samsung charger”, and I’m pretty sure no one knows what a Pixel is, though that may just be because the big carriers don’t offer them where I live.
That’s pretty disappointing, because Samsung is a terrible company, with a bad UI, and creepy privacy practices.
Sure, but Samsung has a massive advertising budget, and that’s what is truely important. It means it’s what people know.
I’m sure my grandma does not give a shit
I got my grandma a chromebox for easy updates and minimal tech support. I get a call from her probably once a month when a random tab she got to through Facebook puts her browser in full screen and says she has a windows virus. Sometimes she calls them but is smart enough to not give a credit card. Every time she calls me all scared and asks “I don’t have Microsoft right?” lol
Not sure grandma would be visiting this site
I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

My aunt in her late 70s probably is only distantly aware. I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned her tablet around to check.
You’d be very surprised
Sometimes they can afford to not know because they have a relative who can manage the device for them. In which case they really wouldn’t be installing software on their own really.
You would be surprised at how many people cannot even change the volume on their tablet.
This reminds me of that time where my mum entered the fastboot menu on her phone by mistake. She panicked and I just told her to restart, making sure she holds only the power button this time. It also reminds me of the first time I got into my first smart device (my Tablet’s) bootloader by mistake. I was 10, my parents had just bought me the tablet like a week ago and I was at my grandma’s so I understandably panicked a lot. But of course, no damage was done.
Conversely me, the first time I did this on my Galaxy S2: H A C K E R M A N
Now phones lock bootloaders, to protect others from making the same mistake you did.
Isn’t that so nice of them? /s
Usually you can still enter fastboot, just not do anything except factory reset, or flash signed firmware.
That /s is carrying so much of that comment. I’m running a custom ROM, BTW.
You would be surprised at how many people cannot even change the volume on their tablet.
If that number is more than 0 then I would be very surprised. There are buttons on the side for volume and volume buttons have been standard on devices since at least the early 80’s.
Had someone ask me why their phone didnt make noise or vibrate when they recieved calls the other day. They were pressing the volume down button with the unlock button to get the screen to turn on/off. So it would slowly mute the phone and take the vibrate off once muted.
They would have benefited from the buttons not being less than half an inch away, and possibly on the opposite side. (Not sure what kind of phone it was, it was a cheaper device it seemed.)
Yes. I have helped people install software over discord and they don’t know what a OS is.
On the other hand if you have a device you don’t know what OS is on there it is likely some kind of Penguin (TV, SmartFridge, Hearing system display)
I wish SrGrafo was on Lemmy.
i never found a lemmy server that didnt have performance issues. so i wont be on lemmy either , spins when i try to create an acoount.
I don’t know if they fixed the bug, but it only spun for me when the username I entered was already taken.
Where you at then, kbin?
does it not tell you where someone is posting from on … checks username … KBIN? the fuck are you doing mate?
Using Jerboa which doesn’t show instance unless you click through to the profile 😅
I’m dumb lol, I use KES and it displays the domain unless their on the same domain (?) so I didn’t see anything after their username and figured I’d ask
Some third party apps don’t display the user’s domain by default.
Is this now Microsoft Chat?
Jesus Christ, did Microsoft rename Lync again?!
They are.
Me too, then I could block him now instead of having to wait
I don’t
Same. He’s got some suspiciously weird posts and a lot of his comics are kind of low-brow.
