1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It's a screenshot of a screenshot in a video? What's that shield?

    Ah I completely forgot that it was a separate extension, I only use it in smarttube πŸ˜‚

    It's a screenshot of a video that I did

    [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    You did the screenshot, or the video? Or both?

    for the most part i don't care, but really, all those fucking terminals i left open, i know they're open, that click per window of yes close has never been helpful

    [–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I used to override that setting.

    I...uh...learned some uses for it.

    [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

    I bet there were interesting uses.

    I won't say i've never shut down a long running process, but i've gotten a lot better at not running them adhoc in a terminal :)

    [–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    The program 'btop' is currently running in this session. Are you sure you want to close it?

    [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    i'll prob just start running pkill konsole before shutdown. was thinking of pkexec /sbin/shutdown -h now on a button, but it is kind of nice having some of my apps recover on reboot.

    [–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    I just don't shutdown until I get a big backlog of updates. I have to remount my SSD with my games on it every time, then tell steam.

    [–] jwmgregory@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    what? why? can you not persist your mounting scheme in the fstab? sorry if i’m being ignorant just genuinely wondering

    [–] Sabata11792@ani.social 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

    I blew up the OS a few times doing that wrong. I'll just hit the mount button. Good enough.

    [–] jwmgregory@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

    it’s real easy. if you tell me your distro and send me your lsblk output when it’s setup how you like i can send you what to put in fstab to persist it. better for system management, better for the puter. gotta reboot more often :)

    My Windows is more like "I am scheduling the restart. Pray I don't schedule it any sooner."

    [–] saltesc@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago (7 children)

    Mine will do the restart and boot into Linux.

    Windows Updates are always like that. Halfway through it's got to restart, bootloader picks Linux, Windows doesn't get to finish the other half of its update til the next time it's chosen.

    I like how you censored systemd

    [–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    People need to learn that it's ok to say systemd on the Internet and stop self censoring

    [–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Let's not get carried away. Fuck and shit are ok, but I draw the line at s*****d

    Yes, let's keep this community family friendly. I could do without such obscenities.

    system deez nuts

    [–] RazTheCat@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Windows just randomly installing updates only when I'm working on something with a customer.

    Windows after pressing shutdown and update: you wanted to use me still right????

    [–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Shutdown isn't shutdown anymore, so it has to reboot for the updates. After the reboot, though, there's no longer a shutdown pending.

    [–] Atlas48@ttrpg.network 7 points 2 days ago

    goddamn generation loss-ass meme.

    This is just not true.

    1. Linux does have a graceful process.
    2. Windows's process is not graceful
    [–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 60 points 2 days ago (6 children)

    Yeah and in linux when you say "kill this process" that process fucking dies. No 10 minutes of windows trying to negotiating with a crashed program to close. No I'm not angry about this happening to me at work today, why do you ask?

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 19 points 2 days ago

    Both Windows and Linux have ways to gracefully ask a program to close and to force close it. Not being able to select the correct one on either system is a skill issue.
