Backslash is allowed too - how do you escape that?

It’s backslashes all the way down

An AR-15 isn’t really powerful enough to hunt deer reliably unless you are an incredibly good shot

Not even a particularly good deer rifle

The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes

I have a bread box…which I generally don’t keep my bread in

Fair; that was mostly a general warning, not necessarily directed at you, because many people do copypaste terminal commands without knowing what they are actually doing.

As long as you understand what a command does, absolutely go for it. No point typing that shit out when somebody else already has

Do not copy and paste into Bash if you don’t understand the commands you’re pasting in

This is the biggest thing. I’m very comfortable in Bash, but that is not the norm; the second my wife needs to run sudo apt get, she’s out, fuck that

It’s probably the standard in both POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification, so I guess ask Ken Thompson?

LxQt is nice, it is barebones like Xfce, but built on the Qt framework like KDE. Xfce uses GTK, like GNOME.

Stop fucking creating terrorists. America can’t though, creating terrorists is their favorite pastime

I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I’m not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it’s easily changeable.

I don’t have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they’re headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all

I’ve been curious about LMDE, I use the Xfce version of regular Mint, but am comfortable in Debian (at least, server Debian). How does LMDE compare?

Linux vs. Windows doesn’t generally affect the cost unless you’re building the machine yourself, or buying from a Linux specific vendor like Framework (which are generally more expensive than what you’ll find at Best Buy anyways). The major PC manufacturers are going to have Windows pre-installed whether you want it or not.

Did he write It during his cocaine years? I know Cujo, Tommyknockers, and Maximum Overdrive were

It is always the oil companies, yes. I’ll give you ten bucks if you can find a societal problem that I can’t trace back to oil companies. Not counting homophobia, that one is a conservative religious problem

Pascal or Camel are best cases

The earliest fungi evolved approximately 1.5 billion years ago, while green algae, the earliest plant, only evolved ~1 billion years ago. Animalia is significantly newer.

Hell, I’d make that bet on margin

I doubt it’s the road builders; it’s oil companies, and to a lesser extent car manufacturers
