From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

About your Crossfit addiction. The trifecta.

One must understand that the operating system that you use does NOT come up in normal everyday conversation. Nobody cares. If you mention this you're going to be looked at as the biggest dweeb in a 100 mile radius. Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity. You will be forever shunned in social circles, and will likely never live it down.

So of course you mention Arch first!

Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity.

Does that include my own pussy too? That would be tragic 😔

[–] Thorned_Rose@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would also like to know. I use Arch everyday and have never noticed any dryness 🤷🏻‍♀️ I talk to my spouse about Arch (he also uses Arch BTW) and can't say as I have experienced any changes at all. Almost as though my pussy has no fucks to give about what distro I use.

Neither.

I tell them about the ethical supply chain that produces my Fairphone.

[–] pianoplant@lemmy.world 71 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I don't volunteer either piece of information, but sooner or later someone is going to overhear me ordering vegan food or see me opening my lunch and the dreaded conversation will have to happen. I wish people would just let me make my own food choices in private without making a big thing about it.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 48 points 2 years ago (4 children)

But they feel attacked. They want to continue living in blissful ignorance of how animals are treated or how bad it is for the environment. Same as windows users who don't want to be reminded what corporate cucks they are. Some even go so far as to become utter bootlickers (see also Elon Musk fanboys)

What sucks is that you have to keep it for yourself, otherwise people will think negatively of you. Because for some reason caring about animals or the climate is cringe or something idk, like it's something to almost be embarrassed about. Which is doubly strange when animal abuse is often considered very bad by those very same people.

But I guess for many caring about other people in general is cringe as well, as long as they are sufficiently emotionally distanced, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I just wish it wasn't, and that caring for others was the baseline more than anything else.

[–] YaBoyMax@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the stereotype drives me nuts. Like, yes, food is a big part of day-to-day life and sometimes I need to explain when asked why I'm not eating if there's nothing for me at, say, a company event. I try to avoid it as much as possible and just say I'm not hungry.

What's the arch user equivalent of getting asked if a fish is an animal?

What's the vegan equivalent of getting asked if you use PC or Mac?

Vegan Arch user btw

[–] Matombo@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Also people who use pc as a synonyme for windows. fuck those guys and guydedts.

PS. Macs are also PCs as PC describes the hardware and the usecase unrelated to the producer and the installed os.

I forsee the creation of another arch based distro that is specifically designed for vegans that will solve this problem

The list knows no end. Why not just say what's appropriate for each particular circumstance?
