This is a truly impressively terrible summary. I mean just the fact that the second word is "then" is something to behold. But then the second paragraph switches perspective without any warning so nobody has any idea who "you" refers to.
Also, I mean, the fact that it literally cut out everything that happened.
As @BCsven@lemmy.ca mentioned, the talk about stable distributions is not right at all.
Also, the commands you gave in "secure directories and dotfiles" are not doing anything.
sudo chmod 755 ~/.bashrc doesn't change the ownership of the file: it's still owned by you.
So setting the permissions 755 just makes it writeable by...you.
You will still be able to modify it without sudo.
If you want to make your dotfile require root access to change, you would need to augment the chmod with a sudo chown root ~/.bashrc
I'm still bummed I can't take a vacation to Frisland :(
You're just not cloud-native enough to understand how revolutionary it is to run GNOME on Fedora.
Subscribed! My daughter is super into beavers. Though I don't want to get into a conversation about what "fucking" means yet, so maybe I'll be selective which posts I show her.
Educator here. This is called "discovery learning". (The alternative to discovery learning, "direct instruction", would be if someone had told OP about these permissions before OP got themselves into a pickle)
When discovery learning is successful, it leads to better learning outcomes. Compared to direct instruction, you learn the material more deeply and will have better recall of the material, often for the rest of your life. The downsides to discovery learning are that it's very time-consuming, very frustrating, and many students will just fail (give up) before learning is completed.
Consider yourself one of the lucky ones, OP.
The last chip was manufactured 3.5 years ago and the last serious user was probably several years before that. Obviously no one's running Itanium with modern hardware.
But just because the hardware isn't modern, doesn't mean the software can't be modern. Tonnes of people run the most recent Linux kernels on 15 year-old laptops, so why not 10 year-old servers? Itanium is only for the hobbyists these days, but so what? Hobbyists have done a good job of ensuring modern Linux can run on 40 year-old 68k. Itanium can theoretically be done, too. It's just a question of whether the hobbyist community has enough of the right people that can actually maintain it.
after all, people are taking pictures to actually capture the moment
Depending on what you mean by "the moment", I don't think that's really true. Modern cell phone photography doesn't really give you what the sensors have picked up. You take a picture of your friend with his eyes closed and the phone will change the picture to have his eyes open. You take a blurry picture of the moon and your phone will enhance it to make a better picture of the moon. I mean some people hate it but a lot people do actually like it.
And they like it because they don't really take pictures for the purpose of posterity. They don't take a picture of their friend because they need to look back 20 years from now and remember exactly how that one plastic bag 30m in the distance was crumpled. They take the picture because they want to post to Instagram, get some likes from their friends, and maybe look back 20 years from now to remember the general vibe, and if their phone can "enhance" that for them.
If people could record a voice memo and have their phone actually make a really decent Instagram post out of it for them, I 1000% believe people would do it instead of taking an actual picture. Posting pictures is more about socializing than it is about posterity.
More like robbers rob a bank and take hostages. They threaten to kill a hostage, but still don't get any money. So they threaten to report the bank for not being up to code with an expired fire extinguisher if they don't get some money.
They know the bank doesn't give a shit about hostages being killed. But a few pennies for a minor fine is a threat the bankers really understand.
"Nesting chamber" and "eating chamber" sound so much classier than "bedroom" and "kitchen". The fact that they're like 10cm apart from one another...well...it's a tough real estate market out there.
