Antix will run on old grey boxes with mb of ram, it oughta work for you too.

Hell I’d probably just make “comics-list.txt” and just manually list them. Not individually probably, but like

Action Comics - #1 CGC 9.9
Batman (2nd) - 404-407
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees - A (complete), B (complete), ashcan.
Creepshow (1st) - 1D, 2-5A
Creepshow (2nd) - 1-2A, 3C, 4-5A
Creepshow (3rd) - 1A 
Earthworm Jim - #1

Or something to that effect.

This puts a whole new spin on Visigoths.

Thanks! This inspires confidence! Seems like it won’t be so bad!

I’m more worried about package management I guess. Though I suppose now with flatpak that may be less of an issue. Still I use some weird shit, some of it is only packaged as a .deb or .rpm on their site, like the Brother printer drivers.

And yeah the documentation lol. I rely heavily on that or places like lemmy for linux help, which is why to start I picked a really popular distro with good documentation (fedora). It’s definitely something I’ll try one day though!

You’re doing “Bob’s” work son, thank you for your service!

As a devout SubGenius myself it is my destiny to use Slackware one day but alas I fear it is currently above my skill level, more documentation will help people like me greatly! PRABOB!

Rarely used inkjet? If so, your ink dries before you can use it, I’ve had it happen after like 3 pages and then letting it sit, dry next time I try. Laser printers don’t do this, the toner will sit for a long time, and it seems to last longer in general.

If it isn’t that, but the brand is HP, the problem is that your printer should never have been born and should be thrown back into the fires from whence it came. Terrible, terrible printers.

Windows changed shit up on me too many times, I kept having to relearn where the dick they hid the control panel, for instance. At a certain point I realized if I’m having to put in the time to relearn shit on windows every new version, why not just learn linux? At least I’m learning because I’m getting into something new and exciting by choice instead of being pissed I have to relearn it because some dickhead moved it around on me!

Yeah, that’s strange. I’m not running endeavor like you two but I’m running fedoraKDE, it’s lightning fast for me from boot to up and running, I don’t think it’s KDE I think your set up is off somehow.

“First of all, you could have just told me you like guns and linux back at the bar, I’d have just asked if you wanna go steady. Second, cool, a driver for what?”

You thought wrong.

That’s why I use the terminal. On KDE it’s even easier because I usually already have the terminal open in dolphin, so I just click into it and type “shut” and hit tab to complete shutdown. No accidental reboots for me!

Ah thanks! Like I said I always just give it the 60s (or +X), so I was less familiar with the now bit.

The command shutdown defaults to 60s, but doesn’t throw the popup. shutdown +60 will give you 60min instead (and +30 is 30min, etc), shutdown -c to cancel, and shutdown --show will show if one is scheduled shutdown -h I believe is the “do it now” option but I always just give it the minute.

Eh it still seems like it isn’t that big of a deal what the words say to me at the root of the issue, as I said if it said “she” which is similarly exclusive not even to men because who cares but to nonbinary people and the like, and the maintainer refused to change it for whatever reason, I still wouldn’t feel too strongly about it even though I’m technically excluded.

Maybe if she said “men can’t use my software” or something I’d feel excluded, but if she just says “eh I’m not changing it to ‘they’ because X” I wouldn’t care.

I mean, yes. In some cases on some issues, some people get offended at things that are frankly a waste of anger. This is a good example of that imo, as opposed to being mad about real patriarchal shit like the wage gap, being mad because a general document says “he” seems like it’s really jumping the shark.

Personally I’d probably have checked to make sure the person who submitted it didn’t pull an XZ utils or just fuck something else up by accident before I merged it, but assuming it was literally just :%s/he/they/g then I’d have merged it, simply because while I don’t think it’s really that big of an issue either way it’s easier to just do it than being brigaded and bullied.

Sure I guess I’d just be offended by everything always which doesn’t sound exhausting at all. Or maybe I’m already not the top paid person in my field either and measuring my successes against others is a recipe for jealousy and misery. I guess it’s dealer’s choice really.

Ah gotcha I thought you were correcting my spelling haha. My mistake!

No honestly if we change it to be a woman dominated field where I’d feel unwelcome instead of a male dominated field, like say teaching, I still wouldn’t be upset at the assumption because frankly it doesn’t hinder my ability to understand the material, I can read it as a typo and move on.

Unless I guess the person was aware of who I am and intentionally misgendering me to be a dick, then yeah, but if we’ve never met and the thing I’m reading is general, then it basically is just a typo the author didn’t realize they made.
