I wonder how common it is to make folders named “desktop crap” as I have several and some are over 20 years old

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I did, and I found that the US does WORSE shit than Russia sometimes.

Russia ain’t good. Neither is the US. Get your head out of your ass.

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

Incredible how many people skip the article and substitute their own reality before commenting.

It’s next to X and C on the qwerty keyboard, so you don’t have to move your fingers much to cut/copy then paste quickly.

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.

Every time we do it we learn from it. That’s nowhere near zero.

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?

I’ve been on “New, 6 hours” since the beginning and even that seems stagnant. At times, there’s lots of cross posting.

That or Ansible, if you will have a machine to deploy from

Never thought I’d get to use “bisectional” outside of JD Vance jokes

No, no - legit! Do go on.

Computers and their interfaces? Way beyond the familiarity of older folks. TikTok? That’s just rapid-fire TV. That’s channel surfing where every flip is a reward. That’s gambling and standup combined.

It’s kind of insidious.

Food processors. Washing machines.
