That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
“Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two…”
This comment brought to you by the anti-snap gang.
Good luck with fighting dependency hell!
Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.
We are not the same.
Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it’s free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.
“But you can make your own!”
If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It’s in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.
Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.
Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it’s still much more free than snaps.
you’re going to walk into your cave, and find your power animal
Why are both of the USB drives red?
Because choice is an illusion.
Both are Linux.
Dude, you’re getting a dell …
And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it…
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!
Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.
Although I formatted the hard drive and sold the PC to a secondhand electronic shop, that PC is still part of the 5G Vax botnet today.
That PC has Remote Vax™ Technology to Vaxxxxxxxxxxxx your kids
RFK will stop it
They see photos of childhood polio and say “look what they took from us“
And Ubuntu at best.
What’s wrong with dell?
same thing that’s wrong with every brand name.
Man, I thought the dude did something really bad but he just got accused of buying weed imagine getting cancelled over an accusation
Love the technology field hand writing
It’s rare, it’s bad, but it’s also adequate and it does the job.
Like my code, it’s ugly but readable
TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.
But when he took the red pill he was relegated to eating a bowl of snot as his only food and living in a hellscape and had to fight a never-ending war whilst still having to regularly go back in to the matrix he was supposedly escaping. I mean I guess, great, for humanity but it doesn’t make picking Linux sound like a great time if you’re going to use that analogy.
Talk to your kids about Linux before someone else does.
Sex PSAs are nothing in comparison
*You stay in Wayland.
People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed
pillsdrives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.“How come my typing fingers hurt?”
“you’ve never used them before.”
Fingering the rabbit hole?
I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜
Aw did your mum buy you a Dell for doing well at school? 😂
Dells are reliable and high quality machines, sure they’re no Thinkpads but some of them are business quality and they’re all better then HP or Asus
Latitudes and then XPS are the business-class, I think. I have a couple XPS Studios that have long outlived their usefulness. Integrated video, that’s why they survived the bad BGA era. ;)
Do you get laid by being an asshole on the internet?
I’m not a fan of Dell either, but it beats many other brands.
This only counts for their business machines, though.
*only if it’s a business machine as far as I know. A friend who’s working for a company selling those B2B keeps telling me how often they get XPS returned, apparently modern variants just keep failing. Latitudes on the other hand seem almost indestructible.
Wow, why do you feel the need to be rude about it.
What about bsd
