Historically, pattern matching notation is related to, but slightly different from, the regular expression notation

Where do you see someone saying “their option is the only option”?

What does your primary system run on, and why?

Wiktionary and thefreedictionary.com express that this phrase refers to the subjective belief of a person telling a joke (and I believe that extends to someone laughing at one) rather than that every joke expresses some objective truth.

However, this brings up the idea that subjective biases can prevent someone from actually understanding reality, so independently declaring that something is “100% false” is still dubious.

Do link-aggregation platforms like Lemmy have a documented method for marking things as true or false, other than by trying to change the relative number of upvotes? Community standards regarding what content should be most prominently displayed are documented for Wiktionary and Wikipedia.

Regardless, I don’t want to discuss the implications of an aphorism on racism, as any disagreement in that discussion may be interpreted as being against the rules of our instances.

The thing is that Unix will solve every problem, the only question is when. Year of the Linux desktop 2070?

I’m legitimately unsure if it’s appropriate to be running mission-critical systems on the Microsoft Windows platform nowadays, but transitioning will obviously take some time.

I’m trying to infect you and everyone you know with the Unix virus. Your perception of me beyond that is of much less importance (though it would be better if you made the process of empowering political leaders less bad or gave me money or something like that).

What problems do you have most often? Can you come up with a description of a class of problems you have that would account for most of the time you spend troubleshooting?

Who provided the documentation you used to install a Linux operating system you had trouble with? I don’t recall having serious issues after installing openSUSE or Fedora Linux or even NixOS, and I certainly don’t recall having any issues of above-average importance that weren’t a direct result of my intentional actions (e.g. trying to permanently change what DNS servers would be used).

In everything funny there is a trace of something true, so I disagree that anything on this page is 100% false

I don’t know but this page might help one find the answer: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+kernel+does+android+run

Thank you for reminding me!

That’s how it’s supposed to be! The only question is whether the brokenness has a documented method to neutralize it, and you could help with that by publicly posting about any issues you have.

If I was in your situation, I would try installing openSUSE or Fedora Linux on a computer where you don’t care if the entire disk gets wiped occasionally, using a flash drive you also don’t care about getting wiped occasionally. They probably have sufficiently comprehensive installers and installation instructions for you to succeed in using one of them, and if you don’t care about the content of the disks you use you’ll be more willing to experiment with the installation process (even though it’s unlikely your computer will work worse due to trying to install a Linux distribution). If you use a computer that has become slower and less usable than you’d like you will probably be pleasantly surprised by the results!

Also, you can back up your product keys and prepare a Microsoft Windows installation disk if being able to go back to Windows 10 makes you more comfortable with experimenting.

Overall, Linux enhanced my ability to to get productive work done, and also the opportunity to experiment and learn more about how to use computers to solve problems. I think learning how to use a GNU operating system is a good long term investment, though if you still need to keep around at least one computer that runs Microsoft Windows to protect your income I won’t disparage you.

The reason the original was removed can be found at https://www.kevinswildlife.com/modlog/1016 by searching for the user “Kaped”. Apparently it was because that user broke the rules regarding “No bigotry” and “Be respectful” on https://lemmy.ml/ and a mod wanted to “remove content”.

I doubt those reasons were actually related to the post this one copies, as it doesn’t seem bigoted, and probably isn’t much less respectful than other !linuxmemes@lemmy.world content.

Also, memes can still be memes while being dumb. Unsophisticated stuff can also be funny! Perhaps fart jokes and other body humor are examples of this.

Unfortunately I’d rather have not learned anything related to what you posted. Android is hostile to GPL licensed software and Microsoft Windows surely is too, and they may use copyrighted or patented technology in their construction, so if I learn about them and then create software their creators may be able to build a case against me that I’m harming them, and I don’t want that to be easy.

I interpreted their comment as “There are at least two tiers of things: things that are Microsoft Windows and those that aren’t, and the tier that includes Microsoft Windows is not the most superior tier”. I don’t think that’s hypocritical.

AppImage has definitely made my life a lot easier in several cases!

How is it hypocritical to say that things that aren’t Microsoft Windows are better than Microsoft Windows?

I think both macOS and Android are inherently superior to anything I’ve ever used that was created by Microsoft.

Multiple versions of macOS are UNIX® Certified Products according to the institution that publishes the POSIX standards: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3688.htm https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3673.htm

“Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel” so it is surely easier to liberate yourself by using Android than by using Microsoft Windows.

I can’t say I share this experience as I spend a lot more than half my time using Linux watching documentaries on youtube in a web browser. If you are obsessed with personalization I could see this happening, but I happen to prefer using default (as in “possible to consistently re-apply”) settings on most things.

Regardless, troubleshooting makes you better at resolving trouble that you didn’t bring about on your own, and life is defined by unexpected troubles. It is better to be antifragile than happy!
