Lmao that’s a good one.

And then you have apps that will use their own DNS silently instead of the NS you point them to…

Another way to do this is sudo su -c 'this is my command’

E.g. change a fan setting on a ThinkPad with:

sudo su -c 'echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'

So to run a shell you could do all sorts of tricks like:

sudo su -c '/bin/bash -i' and such.

Never know when it comes in handy.

EDIT: Damn, downvoted, any reason why? It works on my machine with a locked root user or one without a PW and I made sure to test it before posting, but I’d love an explanation of why it wouldn’t work if that’s the reason for the downvote. Was just hoping it would be useful to somebody :/

I tried to get used to it but nah I just gave up and I just answer or ignore it outright.

Pretty fun (and funny) sci-fi story, the open source katana bit gave me unix surrealism vibes but then again what doesn’t these days.

And here I thought this curse was British brainrot. No, I will give you a detailed account of my day to day activities unless you can learn to say hi or hello there like a civilized person.

TIL you don’t need Google photos to use lens, only Google translate

The username cracked me up

Lucky. For me it’s either spend more money to eat beef or pork with every meal or just cope with always feeling low-key hungry.

I’m similar but will all carbs - only proteins make me feel full, unless there’s meat involved I generally don’t consider it a meal. Carbs and veggies do not make me full at all and I never crave them, they’re only there to give me variety and make me feel civilized while I consume meat. I never really crave sugar either.

P.S. I’m not one of those “meat-only diet” whackjobs and I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans or animals but this has just been my experience entirely.

The collective delusions have been there since 2015, not a COVID thing really. In 2020 there was hope that a lot of this would just pass and Biden won with a record number of votes. Can’t argue with the rest though, I’m sorry you had it rough.

COVID was pretty good times in retrospect, as long as you didn’t get sick, laid off or died.

Last time I had this was with Tyler’s IGOR vinyl I got in 2019 or so that had the extra track “Boyfriend” that wasn’t on Spotify, but I think it has since been released on tidal or some other obscure music service by niw.

Quickly became my fav track off the album too.

Lmao there are so many ppl on Lemmy who unironically think like this. Let culture grow wild and fuck the profits.

We’re mocking Musk, dummy

Jesus Christ this is Windows-tier insane computing behaviour from Ubuntu. Fuck Ubuntu.

Had no clue this was a thing.

Mfer at least y’all have proper winter with snow. In the UK it’s just rain and shit. At least we have no draft and a marginally better economy though.
