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.
someone helped you
New to the FOSS community, eh? 😉
Been here since Fedora Core 5.
The FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.
The people who voulenteer in the irc chats of the Linux mint help I talked with were so chill and helpful
Sometimes you just need to be told to “read the manual”
The meme is poking fun at elitism.
Ah, ok. I’m a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.
Last sentence shows you’re the real hero.
If by “someone” you mean man.
I can name 2 women right off the top of my head who helped me greatly early in my venture into FOSS.
One is an Ubuntu MOTU on the forums, and the other helps organize the Ohio Linuxfest.
That bit of context was missing from your comment. It probably would have savwd you a few downvotes if you had included it to begin with.
You already had a few when I saw the comment.
Yeah, the man pages, various forums and LUGs.
sudo touch grass
I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.
the whole 3 or 4 of them?
Unfortunately, people like that are an outsized problem wherever they exist. The extremes are often the most visible parts of a group, especially in the world of algorithmic relevance. If you really want to see whatever your group is achieve cultural success, those people are counterproductive.
I dunno how many are there but there were a lot of them at some point. Maybe I just ignore them now, but outsiders of the clique don’t know that even we don’t take them seriously.
I mean I do reserve the right to get annoyed when I’m asked for help because windows messed something up and they want it fixed in windows.
In that cases while perhaps a little less polite and more over the top than I would phrase it the meme’s end at least is valid in my opinion.
I also very quickly get frustrated when people fail to follow the instructions with a program.
I just say I don’t use windows anymore so I can’t help you from the windows side of things.
And not following instructions are something that needs to be undone slowly. I tend to just point out the instructions they missed and how they could have avoided the whole ordeal if they read that. Unfortunately you need to teach (or unlearn the windows habit) people that in Linux there’s no BS next next next where there’s no useful info given.
I just say I don’t use windows anymore so I can’t help you from the windows side of things.
And yet they come back again and again :(
I think the rest I would agree with, I’m just impatient with that.
and i just repeat that and be like i cant help you, i will probably make things worse (shrugs)
and i get that, at that point i would just say nothing cause thats better than a negative impression. just imagine a 3 yr old and be like they dont know any better.
Sudo apt install edge
You mean
flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge?Wait is that real? Why would anyone do that? Omg…I’m gonna vomit brb
I used to like edge. It was a much better choice over chrome and IE.
I think at least few years ago it was much better for laptops if you cared about your laptop’s battery life (on Windows). Not sure how it’s nowadays, or if it works the same way on Linux.
I think in the end, if you need Chromium-based browser and want something that is supported by bigger corporation for some reason, you need to decide which company you hate more and use competitor’s product.
Yea back when windows 10 was just peeking out it seemed great
Isn’t edge just IE ported to Chromium?
It used to not use Chromium at all.
How about you sudo apt install deodorant and maybe a life :3
Why why would I have apt installed on gentoo
As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.
That’s the purpose
As a 2 week arch Linux user I related to this meme. In fact I might incorporate this into my personality.
but why? more users for linux means better linux support for everything
Sorry if it wasn’t clear but I’m completely joking and not serious.
can’t tell such things nowdays at all. that is why i use /j or /s to clarify if needed
Exactly the same, what kind of lame bs is this, the best thing about the Linux community is that people help each other, not for money or fake internet points, but because they are good people.
You are 20 years old?
“gimp skills”
deleted by creator
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:
Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.
I see what you did there. Would that I were a sword nerd. I was just googling the original because I couldn’t remember how it went and noticed it had an entirely different dude in it.
As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.
It is a meme? 😒😒😒
No, it’s a very serious post that has to be taken literally.
Autism intensifies
This may be a shock, but… Some memes are cringe.
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.
I’m kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.
Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!
Half the people at my local LUG would espouse beliefs like this post unironically.
While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.
:'(
Also GIMP skills, not to be mistaken with gimp skills (tho there is some overlap in users).
Windows is the virus.
Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.
#!/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 “$!”
grep unreachable checker || echo ‘255.255.255.2’
…
Did I do it coach? 😭
You get an A for effort!
#!/bin/bash
for i in 0…254; do ping -c 4 10.0.0.$i &; done
wait
Throwing that many background tasks at once is a little risky, but awesome
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.
Just add
before the code from above.Dang.
Close!
This is absolutely top tier
