Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here’s my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?3·1 year agoI don’t think I’ve ever made a “clean upgrade” on Linux. I’ve done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.
exscape@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?3·1 year agoSame here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity74·1 year agoDid you post evidence 20 years ago? Otherwise it’s not worth much more than “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs admits he beat ex-girlfriend Cassie: ‘I take full responsibility’6·1 year agoIf you truly do separate the art from the artist there’s no need to defend the artist.
I sometimes listen to a few black metal albums made by completely insane people, but I’d never defend their actions; quite the opposite.
Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.
I went to Debian half a year ago and it’s been great. Should’ve done it earlier.
Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.
Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.
I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.

exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•ext2: mark as deprecated - kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree6·1 year agoZFS is really nice. I started experimenting with it when it was being introduced to FreeBSD, around 2007-2008, but only truly started using it last year, for two NASes (on Linux).
It’s complex for a filesystem, but considering all it can do, that’s not surprising.
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•The truth about organic milk: cows are suffering on even the most “humane” dairy farms82·1 year agoRead that again, nobody called vegans unhealthy.
A scene that is frequently mocked even though it’s entirely correct!
The program shown is fsn (filesystem navigator) running on a Silicon Graphics workstation under their UNIX OS IRIX.https://preterhuman.net/software/file-system-navigator-fsn-silicon-graphics/
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Elon Musk is elevating the global extreme right86·1 year agoI can’t stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… If you’re referring to Starship, they didn’t expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Salwan Momika, infamous man who burnt Quran in Sweden, ‘found dead in Norway’2·1 year agoWhat does that have to do with this article? I see no allegation that he was killed/hurt by anybody at all?
It also seems his death is not at all confirmed FWIW.
exscape@kbin.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK if you've built a computer and it won't boot, sometimes the issue can be resolved by taking the memory out and putting it back.10·1 year agoHm, they’re removable in about every case I’ve used in the past 20 years. I mostly use Fractal Design cases though, so I suppose it’s something they tend to do.
exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•GNU Coreutils 9.5 Can Yield 10~20% Throughput Boost For cp, mv & cat Commands3·1 year agoThat’s in bytes. A modern NVMe drive can do about 7 GB/s (more than 10 for PCIe 5.0 drives). Even SATA could handle 5 Gbit/s, though barely.
exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•GNU Coreutils 9.5 Can Yield 10~20% Throughput Boost For cp, mv & cat Commands9·1 year agoSorry for the nitpick, but you probably mean GB/s (or GiB/s, but I won’t go there). Gbps is gigabits per second, not gigabytes per second.
Since both are used in different contexts yet they differ by about a factor of 8, not confusing the two is useful.
exscape@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Sometimes when I say danke (thanks or thank you) some of my friends will say (and the spelling is wrong but it's as close as I can get) they will say danata or maybe it's dinata.7·1 year agoSwedish too. I’ve always assumed the implicit meaning is roughly “there is [no reason] to thank me”.
What a bizarrely specific scam. Shouldn’t take too long until everyone in that line of work in a particular area catches up on it.
exscape@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?7·1 year agoThey obviously want their newest/flagship OS to be secure, or people wouldn’t want to use it, and they’d be stuck supporting people on 10+ year old OS:es instead.
I wouldn’t say it’s the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something “not manly” is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).
