Can you evaluate the directory tree of a tar without decompressing? Not sure if gzip/bzip2 preserve that.

How tf does one do that

It’s free?

I’m shocked that this needs a /s, wow

Did you respond to the right comment? I was trying to say that instructing new/novice users to disable snap updates is probably a bad idea.

Does anyone genuinely prefer Windows for a reason that makes sense? Or are they just a captive audience?

unless you completely disable [snap updates], which is hardly trivial for a new user

Tbh it probably shouldn’t be trivial for new users to disable updates. I’ve seen way too many Windows/macOS users running a years out-of-date version of Chrome.

Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been.

International, business, and machines?

It uninstalled a bunch of dependent packages too, including my graphics driver. I probably could have looked through the apt history and rolled them all back, but I don’t remember how to do that off the top of my head, and reinstalling took about 20 minutes.

Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao

Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?

Not even, man. I accidentally ran sudo apt remove python3 instead of sudo apt remove python3-pip last week.

I just copied my files to a flash drive and reinstalled Ubuntu lol

Wait up, I just checked and you’re technically right - PTFE is definitely a PFAS. Dunno if it’s dangerous or frequently breaks down into dangerous PFAS, but FWIW I’ve long suspected that nonstick pans can’t be good for you. I’ve never seen a nonstick pan that doesn’t have a single scratch in anyone’s kitchen before.

You could probably stand to improve the clarity of your arguments though haha

People like you fucking disgust me. Either you’re willfully ignorant or maliciously so. Both are equally pathetic.

Not gonna get very far talking to people like that. Lucky for you I empathize with your intentions,

You haven’t shown the half-life of PTFE lol

It still boggles my mind that C# is as good as it is given where it comes from. Java really fucked up with type erasure and never fully recovered imo.

It’s funny, I’ve had an Android, a Nokia Windows Phone, and an iPhone, and Windows Phone was the only OS in which I didn’t open every single app through search. The utter lack of an app ecosystem definitely played a part, but I honestly don’t think either of the other two handle home screens/“app drawers” very well. Every modern social media platform/messenger/etc. is built around vertical continuous scrolling because it’s easier. Why is horizontal, paginated scrolling the default for home screens?

They also underestimate how many times I’ve watched my favorite movie lol

If you count it is as a 20$ a month movie ticket, you could pledge/buy a Hammerhead in around 2 years.

Jesus Christ lmao

Yeah man, I could enjoy a Blu-ray of my favorite movie for a comparable amount of time but that wouldn’t make me any less of a moron to buy a $400 Blu-ray.
