Yall should remove some of these animal words and instead add different words for like the 5 different meanings of "spring"
That's a nice custom, good to know

What about mine turtles?
"off" is one my favourites. The alarm went OFF so we had to turn it OFF. It means the opposite of itself.
"Sanction" is another example. Your actions were not sanctioned by us, so as retaliation we're introducing sanctions against you.
I feel like it's unfair that only learner drivers get a standardised signal for warning other road users of their incompetence. People who already got their license but are still shit at driving need one to. I'm thinking something like that blue "L" cube with a "D" instead short for "dumbfuck".
moss cow hehe
No I'm a primate it's totally different
At this point I have completely given up on printer drivers. I just put files on a usb stick and plug it into the printer to print. Printer doesn't have that functionality? Oh well, it's as good as broken to me. Biking to the local library will take less time and kill less nerve cells than troubleshooting that piece of crap. I can only pray for people like you who have to work with this mess on the daily.
- Family member has 720p webcam
- Family member buys shiny new 1080p webcam
- Family member plugs in shiny new webcam and gives me a videocall to test it
- New camera works flawlessly. I get to keep the old 720p cam. Yippee!!
...BUT THEN
- Family member goes to the website listed on camera's packaging and clicks the big blue download button
- download button installs custom usb driver and companion app
- companion app has twenty quadrillion toggles and dials spread across fifty billion tabs and sub menus. Family member spends all evening twiddling with it.
- No matter what, the image looks like crap. Too bright, but not enough contrast. Worse than it did originally.
- next day family member asks for his old 720p webcam back, I get to keep the 1080p webcam
I'm happy with my new webcam so I'm not complaining, but why do people do this?? Why do manufacturers make these shitty custom driver? The whole point of USB is to be plug-and-play without any custom software.
Can't tell if /j or /srs but upvoting anyway
Totally on board with the message, but, isn't this, like, a direct violation of rule 2? Or are we going with the Gamer(TM) definition of "politics" where any stance that the community agrees with is inherently non-political?
Reminds me of an old soviet joke:
Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?
A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.
still better than ios lol

Explanation for newbies: setuid is a special permission bit that makes an executable run with the permissions of its owner rather than the user executing it. This is often used to let a user run a specific program as root without having sudo access.
If this sounds like a security nightmare, that's because it is.
In linux, setuid is slowly being phased out by Capabilities. An example of this is the ping command which used to need setuid in order to create raw sockets, but now just needs the cap_net_raw capability. More info: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/382771/why-does-ping-need-setuid-permission. Nevertheless, many linux distros still ship with setuid executables, for example passwd from the shadow-utils package.
Explanation for newbies: The GNU/Linux copypasta is an argument made by Richard Stallman that the operating system should be referred to as "GNU/Linux" or "GNU+Linux" because linux is just the kernel and what makes it useful are the various GNU programs and libraries like coreutils and glibc.
Alpine Linux is a linux distribution that ships without any GNU software (though it can be installed using the package manager).
