That’s fair, I feel like I could support the project either way.

My dad, now passed, once said “I’m glad I won’t have to live in the world you kids are growing up in” (or approximately those words). He was primarily referring to privacy and rights, which I think were being directed by Bush at that time.

I was young and privileged enough that I had noticed a few worrying governmental trends but didn’t really feel myself affected, nor did I have much concern about the future. I now feel his words more impactfully.

(I know some of the prevailing sentiments on lemmy; I worry about our collective future but don’t resent my dad for his part in bringing me into this world. He was a good dad who provided me with a good life and set me up to continue that after he was gone and, even if that weren’t true, he couldn’t have predicted the world we’re in today.)

Oh, those weren’t my hands.

(Also, I haven’t thought about CUPS in forever and this made me laugh. Thank you!)

I wanna CUP.

Depressing endings are so rare in movies that I, personally, often enjoy them for the novelty if nothing else.

I don’t remember much of that movie, but an Aliens / Evil Dead crossover sounds like a lot of fun.

It’s not.

And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he’s made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he’s made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.

Happens to all of us!

So proclaimed in *Roswell that Ends Well."

(I can’t find an exact reference to the quote, nor a clip of it; the link appears to contain a transcript of the entire episode, so if you search for the quote it will show. Or did for me.)

Impossible - Futurama assured me that handling raw chicken was the best part of the job.

Well, certainly that was more information than I knew about it, thanks!

No, but I’m friends with them.

Apparently AQ-50 is an autism test. Now I feel called out.

I thought this post was about the numbers and … Well, I like 16. It’s got a few neat math things going on. 19 is a prime, but doesn’t have much else going on for it.

edit: I was thinking that 16x3 was 38 and that 19x2 was 38, which would be interesting. However, 16x3 is 48, which I love, while 19x2 is indeed 38, which is still pretty cool. On the other hand, 64 is fun, while 57 is super duper boring.

Maybe my wife is right when she says I’m neurodivergent.

edit: This is pleasing to me.

Hopefully your proctologist is able to help with that!

Unless you have a custom alias or something, I think you might have trouble running chown:.

If you’re changing the ownership of a file to a user and that user’s primary group, you can just do chown username: file. (Not that the lemmy group is guaranteed to be the default group of the lemmy user, but I’m guessing… )

Thank you for the information.

Yes, but extract the underlying meaning of what you’re doing and apply it to real life without linux or a computer involved.

I don’t know what the rules are about trigger warnings here so I’ll avoid being more explicit.

$$ refers to the PID of the current process.

Thanks for the information!
