sebsch , to linux in What Linux distro surprised you the most?

Sabayon. It worked perfectly till I tried to update some stuff 💣

This was one the most stable and at the same time the most unstable distribution I ever tried.

Your best bet is an Intel Macbook Air with 11.6" screen from a few years ago. They’re even lighter and smaller than the current macbook airs. I have one myself running Linux Mint 22. Just make sure it has 8 GB of RAM (it works with 4 GB too, but you can’t have too many tabs open). They sell for $200 refurbished.

mfat OP ,

Thanks. Which model/year do you have?

Yeah, it's a site dedicated specifically to Lemmy. So Mbin and Piefed are not counted, neither is Mastodon or any other service. :)

ELI5 How come it seems now the old wise tale of Vietnamese eating pets and now its immigrants into the USA?

I don’t understand that sentence.

tiredofsametab ,

Maybe OP is from some place with a high Vietnamese population so there were rumors about this? TX, LA, or CA maybe.

Exit the taco bell and go to a nice resurant you’ll pay the same anyway

Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”

When I was growing up you’d hear stories about how the local Chinese immigrants would eat neighborhood cats when they caught them.

But our “Chinese” neighbours were actually Portuguese, and vegetarian.

Racists are going to be racist, regardless of reality

Chinese immigrants

I used to work at a Chinese restaurant an the number of people who came in there blithely asking me if we “really” cooked and served cats was astounding.

I got tired of answering the question so often that towards the end I gave up and my standard response was, “No, we only cook and serve idiots who go around saying we cook cats.”

I think the very low percentage of lost business was worth it. And this only because my boss told me that this kind of thing did not meet the criteria wherein I was allowed to roundhouse kick patrons in the teeth. If you’re going to be a dumbass, at least try to be original.

the old wise tale

Old wives tale. There’s nothing wise about it…

Eggcorn

Zachariah ,
@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! Eggcorns is by far the superior term for “alteration of a word or phrase through the mishearing or reinterpretation of one or more of its elements, creating a new phrase having a different meaning from the original but which still makes sense and is plausible when used in the same context.”

Nougat ,

Boneappletea is also an excellent term for a similar thing, where the "new" word or phrase makes no sense and is not plausible when used in the same context.

There will certainly be reasonable disagreements about which description is more apt in a given situation. One that comes to mind is Joey Tribbiani's use and explanation of "a moo point."

Zachariah ,
@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I’m just partial to eggcorn (term and concept).

Tinkerer , to selfhosted in Vaultwarden has such a steep learning curve

I have vaultwarden in docker but I don’t expose my instance externally as you really don’t need to. Put the bitwarden app on your phone sign into the instance and it will work even if your instance is borked. You can’t add items but it works.

My suggestion, run it in docker and just back up the entire docker compose and folder structure as that includes the database as well.

If you want to expose it use nginx proxy manager its dead simple and awesome.

min , to selfhosted in Vaultwarden has such a steep learning curve

github.com/rsmsctr/vaultwardenGuide

It doesn’t cover backups though. It uses Caddy instead of NGINX, and it uses DuckDNS to point a subdomain to your private IP address of your Vaultwarden server, so it will only be accessible in your LAN.

otp , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5 How come it seems now the old wise tale of Vietnamese eating pets and now its immigrants into the USA?

Your question is confusing, but I think the answer is…

Racist people heard something. Racist people think it’s a fact. Racist people extrapolate from that thing they heard and assume the extrapolation is also a fact.

These rumors/stories, whatever you want to call them, is all new to me, but its just a way to dehumanize a certain group and therefore helping to justify labelling them the new boogieman.

ELI5 Its a way to make a group of people appear less human and different from yourself. This makes it easier to not relate to them and use them as a bad/ evil example of something you want to avoid.

Because racism is learned. It’s the same tired tropes they heard from their parents. Today’s racists are racist against Central American and Caribbean immigrants. Twenty years ago it was the Middle East. In the 1970s it was southeast Asians. Before that were… everybody else. This is America. There’s always some new cultural group to demonize.

Don_Dickle OP ,

I remember a comedian who once described it like you did saying America is just one big game of tag your it.
