And about how they penetrated disney so hard with their hairy giant cocks, lol
Do you realize you could simply not type a comment about hairy giant cocks?
Yes
Definitely next to Linux guy. I've been working on Linux since very early days, so I don't talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole "ummmm...actually".
No, you're the Linux guy this image macro is about.
Oh, I'll bore you to death talking about stuff, just not Linux.
Could you give us your opinions on what you would change about bash if you could go back in time and just decide how it was?
Me, avoiding that hornets nest.
I would love to sit next to you gaining Linux knowledge!
Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.
And systemd vs other init systems, FOSS vs open source, GNU or not, Pipewire and PulseAudio, Windows...
Pipewire and PulseAudio
What is pipewire? Shouldn't this be alsa vs pulseaudio?
Sir, it's 2024, not 2006.
Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.
Sir, itβs 2024, not 2006.
I'll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can't hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.
Wait, you carry Win11 installation media with you? Who let you out of Arkham Asylum?
Oh, hi Satan.
Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.
I'M GONNA PET THE PUPPIES :D
and feed them ._.
Hear me out.
The Wolves got through the airport checkpoints without any issues.
Who tf let a pack of wolves on to a plane?
Dunno, but I'm looking to find out. Give me 2 all the way.
Inside every human is two wolves.
Only rarely is a human inside two wolves.
Oh, when I entered the plane side 1 was still empty
In my designated seat...
if it's the laid back linux guy, simply very enthusiastic, I'll gladly sit next to him
some kind of fanboy, who thinks in terms of us vs them and who makes it his personality then nope
If it's somebody who's pure Gnu, then no thank you. They'll probably take offense that I'm using "non-free JS" or something.
Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.
Umm, akshually, there would be a number of options to try first, depending on the circumstances:
- never get on in the first place
- the bathroom or the cockpit
- an emergency door
- threaten whoever is forcing you into this mess in the first place so that they hopefully put you to an even quicker end.
Depends if the guy has social skills. There's someone who recently joined at my work who seems to have some social development issues. He's perfectly intelligent, but has no apparent filter and discusses topics that aren't appropriate to discuss with people you don't really know (about his feelings in awkward ways). If it was someone like that, I'll take the wolves. If it's someone who can sense when I want to take a break, Linux guy and I probably have some common interests.
Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, I was in such a situation on the train before. I was just there working and the person sitting next to me noticed I had a linux desktop (in fact, GNU/Linux, btw). They were curious and vaguely interested in switching to linux for a while, so we had a nice conversation about this.
I would not bring this up myself, but it's cool that this happens sometimes (i.e., once in a few decades of life so far)
Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, what you're refering to as Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
Thank you. In that sense I find OP's question misleading: Option 1 should be "guy who really likes to talk about the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project"
This is the good interaction, I had the bad version:
Long ago in highschool I was interested in Linux but was thrown off it by the "Tech" group of kids who, even though we went to the same nerdy Star Trek club, told me I would be able to understand it.
I get that hurt people, hurt others; but duck those guys from 20 years in the future.
I'm getting back into interest for Linux cause I just got a Steam Deck and I'm curious as to what else I can do with a full desktop.
Good luck! The way I see it: Linux has its issues, but so do Windows and Mac OS (and others). The cool thing with Linux though is that for many problems you can create/find some form of error logs, google them, and someone online will help you. In most cases they have solved that problem already.
Windows problems often feel like black magic: Something doesn't work, but all you can do is knock on your laptop, turn it off and on again, and pray. Unless you're lucky and find a shady program online that you can download and install, hoping the programmers mean well.
With Mac OS, you can often solve problems by throwing money at them. But sometimes that doesn't work and then you can't do anything about them and just have to accept the one way to use your computer correctly.
So in that sense I don't think Linux is "harder". There are problems of course, but you learn to think differently about them and are often able to solve them.
