  • I:

    A) Try Wine. No? Ok…

    B) Hello windows using friend or relative, can I borrow your PC for 30 min? No? Ok…

    C) Hey work IT man, so, I know this is dumb but I need to run a program called pkhex. Yeah it’s a hex editor specifically for pokemon hex files. Yeah I can get you anything on your cart. I can get you a legit Mew, even change your OT name from whatever you thought was cool in 1998. Ok so I need admin to download that real fast because I run Fedora, you bring your cart tomorrow and we can do this on lunch.

    Typically option B is enough lol.







  • I believe he is making a joke regarding the practice of consuming drugs via intravenous injections, also commonly known as “shooting up.” The precipice of the joke appears to be the expectation that when one “takes neither and shows up drunk”, and the twist is that “rather than showing up drunk he’s doing hard drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or even methamphetamine or other commonly shot drugs” wherein lies the humor. Though that is simply my interpretation, and perhaps the original poster will be so kind as to elucidate, we shall see.



  • I mean, I understand where you’re coming from, they absolutely shouldn’t log IPs. BUT, if you’re committing crimes or even doing legal things the government doesn’t like, it would behoove you to put in the absolute bare minimum of OPSEC at least.

    Like, some people know they have STDs and don’t warn people and spread them, right? And while the spreader is obviously the problem there, some commonly accepted advice to the victim is “you should have worn a condom anyway.” And they should have worn a condom to protect themselves (and also the spreader should be held liable.)

    Like the previous example, anyone using any online service (for secrety things) should know to put a VPN condom on before they put their data inside that sexy, slutty server rack. And like how contraceptives were that knowledge needs to be spread.



  • Meanwhile on fedora over ~5yr or so I update at least once a week (or daily when I have home internet, but currently I do not so I bring my laptop to friends’ places and update on theirs every so often) and I’ve had updates break stuff only two or three times, and only once was it that serious. Like once it broke vlc and I just had to use mpv for a day or two until it updated to match and whatever issue was fixed, nbd.

    If something breaks every time you update it’s either your hardware and you’ll just always have that until you switch it up (which sucks, so hopefully not) or try a new distro if you’re having that many problems with Mint. “Every time” isn’t a “normal” user experience, it should be an uncommon annoyance, maybe common back in the day, but not anymore.
