I just picked up the latest version of “Copying and Pasting”. This edition discusses copying and pasting from various AIs. Looking forward to digging in

Agree, it’s great for gaming or using custom kernels and such. It’s an excellent base because it generally goes with the defaults provided by package maintainers.

These strengths are also weaknesses though, because oh my god I just want to connect my Bluetooth headphones and use them for the most obvious use case without needing to look up and enter commands in the terminal.

And I say this as a lifelong hobby amateur computer scientist. It’s not that I’m afraid of the CLI, it’s just that defaults are kind of nice sometimes. Arch is great because it’s an un-opinionated Linux install, but it also refuses to make anything “plug and play” which is more than a little painful.

I ran Arch on my gaming machine for a few years.

It’s a great learning experience, but impractical as hell. I remember the exact moment I decided to stop daily driving it. I was using my laptop for work, trying to convince my boss to let me keep using my Linux box instead of the windows horseshit they wanted to make me use. I was on a Slack huddle and trying to use my Bluetooth headphones, but they wouldn’t even connect. Over an hour later I had figured out that Bluetooth didn’t start by default and required being started manually from systemd. Nothing in the GNOME UI indicated any of this. Soon I was using a Windows computer that could at least connect to fucking Bluetooth out of the box 😐

I love Arch. It made me a much better Linux dev. It’s impractical as hell for a daily driver.

“Anti-religious” propaganda? What does that even mean to you? You think you can change someone’s mind with logic when they’re not using logic to think through it in the first place? You think there’s a fucking conspiracy to prove that there aren’t any gods because everyone is so concerned with your beliefs?

No one cares what your beliefs are just keep them to yourself and don’t harass people on the streets with them or vote for government to do it for you in other ways. Fuck.

And yes, religions allowed the study of things that didn’t question their vague and almighty god(s). Why wouldn’t they? Especially when the credit for life changing discovery goes to their god(s)?

You get left alone if you leave me alone this is difficult for a lot of them not my fault 🤷🏻‍♂️

I grew up in the bible Belt. I have no patience for their manipulation. They are predators preying on the weak and gullible and deserve the same disrespect that they give.

Now if you want to talk about smug, there’s dropping into a conversation and contributing nothing but insults and projecting that others are being smug…

Someone sounds upset that their superstition isn’t treated as fact.

Yeah I realized after I said it that it was likely something I hadn’t thought through.

The UK is struggling largely because of conservatives who tear down services that help people to give tax breaks to the rich. They’re also the ones who pushed Brexit and privatized national rail and refuse to properly fund NHS. Is it a coincidence that they’re all overwhelmingly religious? I have a guess…

Religious Nobel winners becoming great minds in spite of their superstitions have nothing to do with thousands of years of scientific suppression by religions all over the world.

People don’t like their worldview challenged, but when your worldview is absurd and without evidence you’ll constantly be dealing with these challenges as people learn and ask more questions. If itt turns out the sun isn’t actually pulled across the sky by a god on a chariot every day, then what else is just nature and not a god? It disrupts your society, and has to be put down and people need to be distracted away from questioning the gods (and the people in high positions).

Religion has always been at war with curiosity, reason and (new) evidence. It’s the nature of being based on a fallacy, which is the assertion that god(s) exist without proof.

Who the fuck said anything about restricting free speech? You keep trying to put words in my mouth.

I said fuck em and I don’t respect them and I like to harass them while they’re harassing others. Not “the government should do blank because my feelings are hurt by speech”. I said I’d be fine with deporting refugees that use asylum deceitfully to push their agenda, but that’s probably unrealistic and would probably be used to hurt innocents.

Ancient mythology doesn’t suddenly deserve respect just because large groups of people decide they’re gonna take it literally and force it on everyone else every chance they get.

It must be hard being religious in a world of science. You have to rely on distractions and half truths and obvious lies because your world view is so completely fucked that you are constantly at war with reality itself.

Too bad religion doesn’t coexist well with intelligence or education. It’s hard to be dumb, ignorant AND at battle with reality in every conversation with people outside your religion.

All that is to say, your post is a weak attempt to misdirect the conversation away from a government pushing their own refugees in a foreign country to force their religious bullshit on their host country.

Who said anything about militant atheism? I’m not the guy harassing strangers with my religious beliefs in public, but I am the guy mocking and embarrassing them (if they’re even capable of shame)

I don’t give a fuck what country someone is from. You don’t deserve respect when you go out and harass and insult strangers. Being a refugee and insulting your host country is even worse in my opinion. Deport those snakes, they obviously miss home. How dare they come up another country claiming to be seeking help and then spit on them like that.

My wife hates it but I LOVE antagonizing the religious snakes who try to tell you about their bullshit in public. I grew up in the Bible Belt and I fucking HATE that fake “oh I’m just trying to save your immortal soul because you’re a sinner” bullshit. Fuck these people, they’re predators preying on people at their weakest and they don’t pay taxes while pissing their influence all over our politics.

Fuck. These. People. All of them.

I don’t stop walking but I always interrupt them or put words in their mouths or ask why their all powerful god won’t do anything about pedos when they’re screeching about that etc. Especially the ones that try to hand you things, love them! They’re always carrying a bunch of papers that you can knock out of their hands.

I hope these fuckwits meet lots of friendly people like me as they go to SOMEONE ELSE’S FUCKING COUNTRY to force their mythology on 😁

Doesn’t work forever though. Used to be the same with Microsoft and Internet Explorer, but better things came along that were less terrible and not controlled by a single tech company throwing their weight around to push their own standards.

It’ll happen again if Google restricts the extension store much more though. They’ve been attacking ad and privacy extensions for years

What about Typescript? I’ve only done a little bit of frontend but TypeScript felt much more reliable than pure js

Honest question: why not fight it at night? Would be cooler with the sun down, and the target glows in the dark to the naked eye. No light no problem? I’m sure it’s more complex than that

I love watching all the people who cheered for Ted Cruz when he talked about bombing the middle east so much that the “sand might glow” who are now telling us that defending the sovereignty of our allies against a power aggressive to both of us is “inappropriate”.

The best investments Russia ever made has been propping up the Republican party since at least the 90s. None of the “peaceful freedom loving traditional conservatives” of today can bring themselves to criticize this aggressive violent authoritarian power that is against everything they claim to believe in. How strange.

The excuses are funny though keep em coming! Laughing at morons who think they’re clever enough to fool anyone is always good fun.

How are you classifying the bias of the news sites? One of the articles used MSNBC as a right wing source which seems a little odd

Oh no the idiots I was referring to are the ones who can’t stop obsessing over genitals and culture war whining.

I definitely want to see what our government has on aliens though
