If a bidet user was also an Arch user, which would they tell you about first?

I didn’t realize “banal” was pronounced “ban all”

😶

I was today years old…

For years I drove past a sign for Eastport on my way in to the city centre. No-one every mentions Eastport on the news. I decided it must be the single most boring suburb in the city.

Last year I realised the sign actually reads like this:

East

Port

And things finally clicked.

Lotta downvotes in this thread. Seems like some of you feel like I’m disrespecting your non-beliefs. 😜

That’s kind of the opposite of what atheism is about. It’s literally about evidence.

Maybe I’m being nitpick-y, but I think you’re pointing at one small part of the whole and saying “that’s it, right there. All of it”. Atheism is literally about what you don’t do - believe in any god. Some atheists come to that point through consideration and self-reflection. Others don’t.

I don’t like to see science presented as a belief system. Science is a tool for establishing fact about the natural world in a methodical and reproducible way. For debating the existence of gods, you need philosophy.

Atheism is simply the state of nonbelief in a deity.

Atheism is a spectrum too. At one end you have small-a atheists who would believe in a deity if presented with compelling proof. At the other end you have people with a fervent belief in no deities who would not be persuaded by evidence.

People replying - how about telling us why you consider your answer a must-install tool?

This is my next project for when I discover a reserve of time and energy I didn’t know I had.

“Fox proposes new brand of locks for henhouse.”

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

I built my current PC using one of those PCPartPicker guides, and I’m very happy with it.

The only issue I had was the video driver. I use the Linux Mint Long Term Support version, and the kernel didn’t have a recent enough driver for my card. I just needed to switch to the latest kernel and it was good to go. I actually had no idea how to troubleshoot it, and went to the LM forum to ask for help. I was reading through the guide on what info to supply with help requests and realised that the example fault and solution were the exact ones I was facing!

However, since I almost know nothing , I’m afraid to do things wrong and get a malware, spyware or break security measures of OS.

That right there is the traditional way to learn linux.

My advice is to make a disk image of Mint installed and configured the way you like it, then just reimage the laptop every time you break it.

That’s great! What’s Cosmic Alpha 2?

Very useful article.

Fatdog is Debian by way of Ubuntu designed to run from a USB drive. There’s documentation on the website.

If you pick a new user-friendly distro, nine times out of ten it’ll run like a dream out of the box.

If you want to change something minor like a desktop background, you might need to search through menus for the settings or ask for advice.

If you want to install new hardware, like swapping in a new video card, you’ll definitely need some assistance.

Remember when Bill Gates said that open source software was fascist?

Same reason that dude installed Doom on a pregnancy test!

Whenever I’m in a plane about to take off or land I think about how the thing is lifted by differential air pressure and I’m pretty sure we are bullshitting physical reality - and it’ll figure that out any second now.
