@adrianyyy @postmarketOS @cccac I want the anti-afd ones

@justsoup I also feel that it is a kind and respectful space. I really enjoy working on postmarketOS and FLOSS in general, it allows me to work with extremely kind people, with different POVs and sometimes different technical background, of which you are absolutely a part of. And they got the message out, that "no matter who you are, you will always be welcome" (with the usual exceptions of course).

Congratulations @gnome on your 28th anniversary!🎂🥳

@mirabilos @bendaubney @hl at least it would be optional or something, (though I wouldn't know how you could do that, except maybe via immutable rootfs and ota updates)

@IngaLovinde indeed

Their numbers grow… Because I receive the batch production samples for quality control. #Plushtodon

@ariadne logo feels right-wing-ish

@ariadne clearly everyone wants irc

People often ask me, "how did you learn all of this stuff?"

And quite frankly, at one point in my life, I did, " ls /usr/bin"

and then read the man page for every single fucking thing in there.

and that attitude never stopped. Hell, that attitude existed for years before that moment. I read everything I can get my hands on.

But, I digress.

A few years later, I knew a thing or two about UNIX.

I read the fucking manual.

When I buy a new refrigerator, I read the fucking manual.

When I get a new stove, I read the fucking manual.

When my home's furnace stopped working on Dec 24 2012, I blew the technician on the phone's mind away because I had already read the fucking manual and knew what the flashing lights meant. I didn't have a fix from the manual, but based on my description, he lead me to a basic short term solution, got my house warm again, and saved me about $700 in emergency repairs.

Before I ever touched a computer, I was reading the fucking instructions.

I realize it is now high and mighty to place ourselves above end users who.... don't know how to RTFM.

But seriously.... don't sell yourself short.

RTFM will always pay out.

@mirabilos @bendaubney @hl Honestly not as bad as upgrading your whole computer while shutting down with no user consent at all

@mirabilos @bendaubney @hl Oh, that's not updating while shutting down then. And I see that kind of stuff in non-systemd as well, some daemon just taking a while to stop

@mirabilos @hl @bendaubney not last time I checked, it doesn't force updates on you on shut down? :p Or maybe some exotic distro does this for some reason heh

Me: *joins a company-wide video call where I need to present*

My work laptop: HEY BEN SEEMS LIKE A GREAT TIME FOR UPDATES I’M JUST GOING TO RANDOMLY CONNECT AND DISCONNECT YOUR WEBCAM, MONITORS, KEYBOARD, AND MIKE HAVE A SAFE AND SECURE DAY!

It's money well spent
