GNU+Linux Humor

Because it's useless once you open Windows!

I've noticed that people older than me have always known just a few more vi commands than I do.

I'm in my 40s, so clearly I know about 4:

Writes and quits (I consider these variants of the same thing):

:w
:q
:q!
:wq
ZZ

See the line numbers: :set number

Delete everything from top to bottom (must be at top, easily remembered by mumbling duck, duck, duck, GOOSE): :dddG

Search for a string: /

And that's probably it. I think I used to know how to cut a line and paste a line, but I'd have to look it up to be 100% correct on the syntax.

Anyone in their 50s or 60s care to add to this dazzlingly long list of inadequacy? Not looking for a cheat sheet or the man page :-p

(Because a lot of proprietary software is often a deal with the devil, you see.)

It popped into my head, if I had to see it, then so do you.

A Linus tech tips video on setting up Windows.

The first half of the video is not too bad, but the whole second half is terminal and registry work arounds.

At first, I expected the video to talk about even more complex things.

Anyway, just show this to a windows user who complain that Linux to too complex and uses the terminal.

For today!

image transcription: picture of a statue of the Hindu deity Durga. The statue has ten arms.

caption underneath the picture reads: in Hinduism, Durga is revered as the goddess of war, motherhood, and protection. But did you know she also wrote the default key bindings for Emacs?

I got away with using Liberation Serif instead of Times New Roman btw

Me: Blessed Carlo Acutis, pray for us.

Carlo: God, send your cosmic rays to scramble the bits in the superblocks of his BTRFS partition.

Me. Hehe it's the protegent "i lost my deeta" thing in real life

I was wondering if there was an Open Source OnlyFans Alternative dedicated to Linux and Computer Engineering Related Content. Same Idea but with Unix Porn.

If this would exist, what would you do in its development, How would you improve it and make it profitable?
