I’ve been in the unix and Linux world for 10 years now, with forays into administering windows when necessary.

I currently write software for Linux hosts, I have tux tattooed on my chest, literally.

Today the only laptop I’d purchase is an Apple silicon machine.

The only thing I miss is i3.

MANY of the .ml instances are like this

It’s funny how ineffective this propaganda is and how mad yall get about that

Mod removed their comment which is telling and seems to confirm what their comment was asking.

My dude they’re just here as a bad faith actor.

Don’t engage.

Have you tried being a good neighbor and letting them know their loud parties are causing you harm?

Because otherwise you’re tacitly telling them it’s fine.

You’re 100% correct it is still too loud to be used during off hours.

and you said yes, of course I can only hope.

Put them in a paper cone and slather them with mayonnaise.

Right, so be super duper secretive about your observation of them.

If they notice you need to INSIST they’re just crazy and seeing things.

See if you can hire a private investigator

Ubuntu is a perfectly usable operating system, there is a LOT of elitism in the Linux community.

De gustibus non est disputandum

In matters of taste there is no dispute

dude no shit that sucks

Being a tech savvy person in a science field is a one way trip to becoming sysadmin accidentally.

This is like saying the bully was right to punch the other child because the other child started to prepare themselves against the bully attacking them again.

But smokers are abhorrent and nobody deserves love

If they’re internal drives then you choose.

I like to mount drives at root, their parent directory being the logical purpose of the drive.

Got a drive you added that’s gonna be for games?

/games

Is it for movies?

/movies

Or maybe it’s just general data storage?

/data

No need to make it more complicated than it has to be.

This is standard across the industry, unless you are mounting disks that would conform to another strategy (say it’s a drive of repos, it might mounted under /usr/local/src/ as that’s where one would expect user provided source code).

Edit:

Hey, let me say first off I’m probably talking to you all wrong. You’re an adult, and I’m in the “talk to my kid” mindset with this. I apologize for being crass. Shit isn’t easy, I agree, I have been where you are and you’re not alone. You aren’t. Don’t lean into the anger and envy and darker tendencies humans have in these scenarios.

Especially when you choose to not have one.

I assure you even at the bottom of my deepest darkest depression, after 2 COVID deaths and suddenly finding myself a single father left alone with my son … I still CHOSE the isolation route.

It wasn’t the depression and everything else choosing, it was me acquiescing to the sweet sad embrace of it. It was cathartic but it was also drowning.

I don’t mean this to minimize, it is crippling and debilitating but it is still our choice. When you’re failing to choose to get up remember the choice is still yours and turn that into power for the next time.

Take a chance. The worst case scenario is you stop doing the thing you weren’t doing already.

Life is absurd, make your own meaning and your own purpose.

Hobbies is the answer.

Join a gym, go once a week until you want to go more.

Go to trivia at a bar that does it the same day every week.

Find a local club for an interest you have.

Find things that happen on a schedule that you have to show up for.

The problem you’ve described, in my experience, is that it sounds like you don’t have a life for anyone to join you in.

Nothing comes easy, even hobbies, you have to decide you want to do a thing and then do it on purpose even if you don’t want to do that thing in that moment.

You ought to remove the artists name before you shit on their work

My middle school student worked on them last year
