    Plot twist: the "wolves" are just furries going to a major infosec conference, and will also talk endlessly about Linux

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    And about how they penetrated disney so hard with their hairy giant cocks, lol

    [–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Do you realize you could simply not type a comment about hairy giant cocks?

    [–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (6 children)

    And systemd vs other init systems, FOSS vs open source, GNU or not, Pipewire and PulseAudio, Windows...

    I'll sit next to 1, and I'll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    The good old lying approach, I see.

    Name an IDE that is better.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    i somehow feel this might be sort of a vim-vim situation 😁

    There is some that are faster and probably lighter and more efficient. But better, no. VSCode takes the cake. I use VSCodium.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    VS is not VSCode, not even comparable

    Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

    Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

    Either that or sit in 1 and tell him one of the wolves is violating the GPL.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Sit beside one and talk about the BSDs being the superior race LMAO

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

    Even the wolves groan.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (4 children)

    Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, I was in such a situation on the train before. I was just there working and the person sitting next to me noticed I had a linux desktop (in fact, GNU/Linux, btw). They were curious and vaguely interested in switching to linux for a while, so we had a nice conversation about this.

    I would not bring this up myself, but it's cool that this happens sometimes (i.e., once in a few decades of life so far)

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (3 children)

    Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, what you're refering to as Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    Super happy to be that Linux guy sitting by myself with no one to bother me while I'm getting things done.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Hear me out.

    The Wolves got through the airport checkpoints without any issues.

    Definitely next to Linux guy. I've been working on Linux since very early days, so I don't talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole "ummmm...actually".

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    No, you're the Linux guy this image macro is about.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

    Oh, I'll bore you to death talking about stuff, just not Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

    I would love to sit next to you gaining Linux knowledge!

    I'll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can't hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.

    Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.

    14 werewolves...

    it's just suspiciously perfect

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Im gonna sit next to him with my headphones on so I can't hear him crying as I use chrome on my windows 11 laptop.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    Laptop tries to reboot for 5th update of the day

    I can't connect to the internet, Dave, I'm afraid I cannot allow you to start me up again

    You try to ignore helpful tips from the guy next to you, pretending your headphones are still active.

    You choke back tears as Windows had enough from your feeble attempts to boot and the power button stops doing anything.

    Linux guy. My time here at Lemmy has acclimated me to his kind.

    Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

    What OS do the wolves use? And are they there to crank their hogs?
