  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    When you're asked if you prefer x11 or Wayland, but you like titties.

    [–] constantokra@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Tiv will handle that on the tty just fine.

    "Fine" being (arguably) marginally better than attempting to decipher a scrambled cable channel that could be either the softcore channel or a travel documentary - either way, you're looking at something that rhymes with "complicating crank".

    You peasants debating over compositors and window servers.

    I only interface with my computer over a headless terminal that prints the output using a matrix printer in another room. I programmed my VERY OWN hangman game, and no, you can not look at the source code to find the answers because I OBFUSCATED THINGS, you absolute lump of failed carbon.

    [–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

    What a bloated workflow, just connect your oscilloscope via UART and decode via RS232.

    [–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    a matrix printer in another room

    It's "dot matrix printer," you phony!

    [–] sep@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    We absolutly dropped the dot from the word in informal speak. Probably 2 days after owning one.. "matriseskrivar" was much easier than "punktmatriseskrivar"

    [–] callyral@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

    you can not look at the source code

    so you made a closed source software?

    Look at this scrub, they didn't even put the whole dictionary into their code and tell it to choose random words.

    [–] onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    Look, another failure. A dictionary is clearly bloated when you only want words that can be played in hangman! 3 letter words and bellow comprise way more memory overhead than required for a good challenging experience.

    [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

    Sorry my DECwriter jammed up on that last bit after "absolute", could you repeat?

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    My wife complains about not being able to hear the TV over the teletype, but I keep telling her it's the only way to get the true user experience.

    [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    I should really upgrade to 300 baud. These posts are taking forever to read.

    [–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    I also want to have a clicky mechanical keyboard! /s

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

    And a clicky mechanical display!

    Also, I've got like 9 of them. So that's 9 times better.

    [–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    [–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    For those who don't understand: cage is a kiosk wayland window manager, which means it only runs one program in the foreground and in fullscreen.

    foot is a graphical terminal emulator.

    So the joke here is to run a terminal emulator in fullscreen and kiosk mode on a wayland wm from tty, which, at first sight, looks exactly the same as just tty. So you use wayland for a lookalike tty session, which is a nod at OP's image which states you wouldn't run a tty on x or wayland.

    (But cage+foot has mouse support, nice fonts, can launch graphical programs, etc., and has itself established as a kind of rescue shell for tty-less kernel distributions)

    [–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    watches wayland have a stroke on a kiosk

    [–] neonred@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    I am not sure I understand. Are you having problems running cage?

    [–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    Noob, I teared a hole in the fabric of reality and plugged it into my head. I interface with my thoughts and the results are read to me by voices in my head.

    Bash bash tty tty, bash-n-tty

    [–] tetraodon@feddit.it 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Just don't bash titties, I hear it hurts

    [–] treesoid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Bash titty why?

    I use wsl just to log in and run update/upgrade whenever I get the itch.

    Anyone remember the rackspace raids in mid-00s? I called and explained to them our ircd operator was in iraq and got services set back up.

    The best way to interact with a Linux machine is ssh through powershell. Hate me all you want, but it's kinda a self-own to imply that savvy Linux users don't bother with the desktop.

    [–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    PowerShell isn't the best way to anything except a migraine
