What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?

Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.

I would totally read that book

I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?

Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol

Maybe to avoid confusion, they should just display units in GB instead of GiB? Or just display both

This is fucking amazing

Happy birthday!

Ublock origin works too

I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!

I used to watch a lot of Luke Smith when I first got into Arch 5 years ago, but nothing much since then. The only Linux youtuber I watch nowadays is Chris Titus Tech, and then only sometimes.

Oh that’s interesting, exposing kids to it is a great idea because then they won’t have the whole barrier of the ‘fear of the unknown’ when considering installing it on their own PC. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see a breakdown of useage by region. For example I found stats that said India’s share of linux users rose from 9% in May to 15% in July. That’s quite a sharp increase in only 2 months! With a population of over 1 billion people, I’m betting this rise would have a significant increase in global stats, so I wonder what is behind it…

What do you mean by ‘normal’ package management?

What problems does the AUR create? I just install using yay, and it mostly works fine

Just to chime in, I first tried arch because some youtuber I followed recommended it, but after 5 years I would say I’ve stayed with it for the AUR and the community. The AUR has almost every app I’ve ever needed, and whenever I have a problem there’s always a solution on one forum or another, to the point where I can usually just copy and paste it into the terminal and it’s solved!

try doing pacman -Syy

it works for me, I have to do it every few months 🤷

I’m sorry? I don’t understand why you’d think I think that? This was like hundreds of thousands of years ago, so whatever their skin colour there would have been plenty of time for melanin levels to change since then

Maybe, but studies have shown that Africans don’t have any Neanderthal DNA.

Sure but that’s a huge list, so it’s easier to subdivide into South East Asian, South Asian, and Middle Eastern.

Just came here to say I swear I’ve seen this at least once on reddit before smh
