Bias : I use debian for my own machine.

I have two machines on Mint I am responsible for; one craptop with LMDE and one tower for my Mrs with Ubuntu Mint.

I hate fucking about with the tower more than the craptop. The laptop is just as easy to use and was just as easy to install and everything. The only thing I needed to do was to replace cinnamon with XFCE in an attempt to make it run faster since the craptop has like 2gb ram.

They don’t actually have to be helpful, just have the appearance of being able to do something about it, like those praying to Trump.

hen they’re not making essential medical breakthroughs

If furries are so good at medical breakthroughs, how come they haven’t invented cat ear transplant technology?

Turning Point Anti-fur.

*Gets shot*

ok sure. but FYI, venv is basically the same thing if it’s python based.

… virtual environments?

I’d recommend LMDE over Ubuntu Mint. There isn’t much point to ubuntu mint anymore to be honest

you can have KDE on LMDE. Cinnamon’s default login manager has an icon to change the DE you’re going to log into.

EDIT : Install gnome-boxes or virtual machine manager to try the process out.

What about setting up a new environment correctly instead?

Says the man that just copied and pasted, then checked in 800mb of shitty angular dependencies just to get Jenkins to be able to build his inherited project.

It’s ok, they don’t pay me enough to support a family and don’t give a shit about this project, and it’s for internal use.

Yeah, from what I hear of them we should be surprised the tarmac techs at airpots aren’t wearing animal ears and tails :

Yeah, but that’s a different mechanism of addiction to feeling good due to a surge of emotions.

Success is the best antidepressant. Weight loss does wonders.

I post my shit, and it’s up to my public to tier me.

I’m comparing myself against the likes of PMVJ , PugJesus (RIP), Johnny Enzyme and Bil Sabab.

And thus, I am far from mid tier, for their efforts are top tier, and I am so, so far away from their weight in memes.

if you have a friend there,

For me it’s basically the only reason. I have travelled probably twice or thrice to places I don’t have friends to visit. Once to predictably see behold the arctopus live, and from my wife’s choice of honeymoon location that was near visiting our families.

By definition not. The majority of the code in GitHub is some volunteer project on a permissive licence .

Turns out shitty tourists are shitty at Home too

Could it be that people are held responsible for the code and peer reviewed or rejected instead of jamming any old slop in?

I would also like to remind you that systemd , which is part of most mainstream distros like arch, shoved through the most controversial check-in just with a “YOLO LOL” and didn’t need any AI slop to make itself even worse.

Because he lives in Lyon and I live in LatAm.

Thank you

I had a great time the first (and only) time I went to france. I’m about to sound like I keep a gas canister full of my own farts to breathe deeply from, but, I’m not like other tourists. I don’t give a shit about the tourist attractions of the place I’m visiting; if they happen to be functionally interesting at the time I’m visiting, great! I’ll go do them. If not, why fucking bother? An example of one I tried (and failed) to do would be to see the Van Gogh museum.

Anyway.

The key was that I didn’t go to visit france; I went to visit my friend from university, who is french and lived in Lyon. I stayed at his place, and the idea was “hey, I came to visit you, but if we do some french stuff, that would be awesome”. Ok. I went to his friend’s birthday BBQ, went to his friend’s metal rehearsal, we had some great garlic sausage, we went to play petanque in a pub/bar, I got to see the center of town and eat the best ice cream I ever had (lychee sorbet) and I am very disappointed to say, failed to do the one fucking touristy thing I wanted to do : frogs legs and snails.

You know why?

I ended up seeing the greatest gig of my fucking life instead. It wasn’t even an explicitly french band, it was Secret Chiefs 3, who are based in the USA, and led by Trey Spruance of Mr Bungle fame. But fuckin’ BOY oh BOY the Lyon crowd was fucking BUMPIN. This might not be impressive to you that lead lives that aren’t a complete sausage carnival, but I actually got to dance with women at the gig.

Those of you who are interested in death metal or progressive music probably understand. For the others , the number of women at these shows can be counted on the hand of a person with no fingers.

Also, you guys should check out FAT32 if you’re into weird shit. I think Master Boot Record is kinda internet famous, they’re like that but from france and about a decade before them. If you don’t know MBR either, fuck it, They’re like Fantomas but french and from a similar timeframe. If you don’t know Fantomas, then fucking Igorrr. You don’t know Igorrr? Fuck it , it’s metal with keyboards and sound effects.

Anyway.

That gig was fucking fantastic. Well worth never eating snails and frogs legs. I think I tooled around in his place a bit before going to a bakery on the last day. I got treated well, because I followed the rule indicated by Mx NotAnotherLemmyUser : learn the fucking language of the place you’re going for fucks sake.

I used my phrasebook tier french and pointing and grunting to get a few nice pastries and accidentally, one which was a danish covered in tuna. It was horrendous.

I took the train to paris and the bus back to england. I saw the Eiffel tower. From the bus, on my way back, from very, very far away. I didn’t see the lourve. I didn’t champs the elysee.

I spent time with my friend, in person, for the last time.

Worth every missed opportunity.

no but, it’s important because these things are happening to poor women that don’t deserve to be treated like shit.
