I like both for different purposes. I’d much rather be in a kayak if im cruising around a larger body of water like a bay or a lake, but putzing around on a slow moving river or in a swamp I much prefer canoes. Or drinking; drinking in a canoe is a good time, drinking in a kayak is a way to get dunked

I think they might be contrapositives. To me, redneck engineering roughly means “surprisingly good and durable solution made in spite of limited materials and or knowledge” where kludge roughly means “surprisingly shit solution barely good enough to work 1 or 2 times despite having the money/ability to produce a much better solution.”

You could try running tails on your laptop. Nothing guarantees resting privacy like removable boot media

I love seeing this kind of post. Comments are half “lol funny meme” and the other half are people almost having a ptsd reaction as they (correctly) grill people about loto. I’ll add my 2c; safety protocol is written in blood. Those rules exist because somebody in the past died horribly and people implemented procedures to prevent that from happening again. Ignoring safety protocol is ensuring that the next ones will be written in your blood.

Glad LOTO is the top comment on this post. You’re doing God’s work

Those abs need a marble statue, not a shirt

:) I am glad that brought you a smile. I’m sure Chizz would love to know he’s still making people smile through stories about him. He was a real one

I used to have an old man cat that was like that. He wanted to sniff everything that came in the house; not super urgently but he was always interested. It got hard for him to walk eventually and my girlfriend would always poke fun at me for carrying him around and holding him up to each new thing so he could investigate. He seemed happy about it though, he never stopped being interested in investigating

The perspective of this pic makes it look like you have the cutest little crescent wrench and screwdriver

Be better than using slurs.

Both her and her paw are doing well! The only lasting damage is to her trust in me for making her take the antibiotics, lol. Here she is pouting at me because there were pills in her last treat

this is my girl at the vet. She’s got an infection on her right front paw. She’s really hoping to hide it from the doctor

I feel like I’m being admonished by a schoolteacher and honestly I probably deserve it. You’re probably right but I’m grumpy about it and need to re-read this later when I’m less grumpy about it

Is Norway tree law brutal?

Nobody is happy when you call them out for marginalizing people they view as inferior. I get the same reaction when call out family members being blatantly racist at family gatherings. I don’t care about the reactions of people who choose to engage only with my tone, they’re not here to interact with me or my opinions in a meaningful way. Last, I don’t believe I overreacted at all. I called out shitty alienating behaviour in response to a meme that implies an outgroup community is disgusting or inferior based on their operating system choice. As I see it the tone of the meme was significantly more insulting than the tone of my response.

Sure, that’s a valid position to have. Your position only relates to the OP meme in the loosest possible sense; the meme presents WSL users as inferior objects of disgust, which is clearly distinct from a claim that WSL is not the right starter distro for most people. As I see it you’re effectively whitewashing an elitist talking point by pretending it’s about helping new users, or you just didn’t notice the elitism because you are not part of the targeted out-group.

I made a comment about the gatekeeping attitude of the community and you responded to me with a critique of WSL. The point I made sailed entirely over your head, hence the whoosh.

I’m glad you found a laugh and a moment of lightness while you’re struggling, and I hope the world becomes a kinder place for you as soon as possible. This is still a joke where the punchline is “windows user (ie, outgroup) disgusting”, and I hope you can understand why it’s bad to put that kind of energy out in the world then pretend it’s a joke.

It’s not funny, it’s gatekeeping.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
