No. He is not a historical figure like, say, Muhammad or Caesar.

Everyone who downvoted, please provide evidence

LOL please stay serious. Historic science is a thing, you know.

Yeah nice but why are you people so obsessed with men explaining things to women or vice-versa?

7uWqKj ,

Quite right. The joke works even without the „woman good/man bad“ subtext.

7uWqKj ,

Or so you are made believe. How many times have you experienced it?

7uWqKj ,

bash is so ubiquitous that I never considered anything else.

7uWqKj ,

Let the code explain the „how“, use comments to explain the „why“.

7uWqKj ,

Why would you? The command line is the natural way of interacting with a computer. GUIs are just for convenience. What you’re asking is like „can there be a city where the public transport is so good that I never have to walk“.

And that’s a fact for every operating system, not only Linux.

English is the natural way of communicating with Americans. A lot of people don’t find that natural (because they don’t speak English), but that is their fault, not the Americans‘.

The supreme of all open source projects would be something like Linux, curl, or SQLite.

I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?

I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

Police violence in Canada is, like, a cop not saying please?

The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands.

I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few...

You do know that Genesis wasn’t written by Christians do you

Poor guy can’t listen to Queen because monarchy, can’t listen to AC/DC because he’s got only 110 volts, and can’t listen to ABBA because the spelling is too complicated.

User name checks out. Are you from Texas, or are you drunk, or both? Well, you’re forgiven because either would explain why you’d believe he could (if he existed).

My friend's boyfriend's therapist said that he is an abuser who is trying to look like the victim. What does this mean?

My friend has been talking with this 24 year old man online since early 2022. She is into stereotypical nerds that are on the chubbier sides. He is a stereotypical nerd both inside and out, and is 350 lbs at 5"11. She thinks he’s the cutest man she’s ever seen. She met him on Reddit, he lives in California while she lives in...

7uWqKj ,

350 lbs is like 175 kg, right? And 5“11 is like 177 cm? Holy moly, that’s not „on the chubbier side“, that’s fucking obese.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

That’s why there’s an ISO standard for dates and it goes YYYY-MM-DD

Used it a couple of years ago. Stunningly beautiful but buggy as hell. Got frustrated and switched to PopOS. Today I’d use Mint, or just plain Debian.

What do you do for a calendar? New to selfhosting/homelab.

Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community...

7uWqKj ,

Good choice, Nextcloud has all the calendars you’ll ever need. (Same for contacts btw)

Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

A geek is one who buys an Apple watch to take phone calls, monitor his heart rate, and control the colour of the lights in his living room.

A nerd is one who buys an Apple watch and hacks it to run Doom.
