Happened to a friend. His teacher had problems with the class room pc and he knew a quick cmd line fix so he asked if he could help. Teacher started screaming that he was hacking the pc, took him to the principal and called his parents.
Fortunally everyone could see how stupid it was, and he promised his parents to not offer his help again…
Where does “it used to work, but now it doesn’t, and I don’t understand how it could ever have worked” fit in?
Debian with kde, because it looked a bit like Windows.
Then slackware because it was supposedly a “simple” Linux distro. Apparently simple doesn’t mean simple to use for a newbie…
Damn now you made me want to learn COBOL just for the meme…
Same, but I guess if you have a idea you want to build then using a language you are already comfortable with makes it a lot smoother than learning one that could be a better fit.
For sure, I don’t think I strictly belong to either of the stereotypes
People here are apparently either foss neckbeards or transfems/femboys, and they are all valid.
Trans dev here, I hear that hacker spaces aren’t bad places to look. I wouldn’t know though, too shy to actually show up -.-
I agree with you, but I also think people find Discord convenient because it’s just 1 account and free to use.
I wonder if Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse can work here, or just anything where smaller free projects don’t necessarily have to pay for and maintain their own community infrastructure, and still allow users to jump around without getting too locked in.
I’m a bit annoyed with element X tbh, my home server only has sso logins, but they don’t support that and the error message doesn’t explain this at all, which means it’s up to me to figure out if I’m doing it wrong, my home server is doing something wrong, or the app is just bad at communicating errors.
What are the preferred alternatives?
Mine is probably matrix, mostly because I can use the same account everywhere, but it also feels like there’s a lot of gotchas and all the phone apps are kinda meh each in their own unique way.
There were apparently some schools that had cat litter around because children can’t go to toilets during school shooting lockdowns, which is terrible in its own way.
From a what?
But you should probably touch it before all the dependencies are outdated. And before everyone who understands how to work with it has left. Especially if it happens to be core to the business.

Installing KDE on my EeePC 900 didn’t work out too well
I’ll install linux for ya.
Still not gonna help you with tech issues tho…
