I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I use Ubuntu btw

Shower puns?

I’d personally add Slice & Dice to this list. Probably the only mobile game I like all around (though I’m big PC fan first).

Up to 31 in binary (1023 on both hands), but one may say it isn’t very handy.

I am laying down in wet empty bath and shower head kinda constantly sprinkles (fountains?) water around it while I scroll Lemmy. What irresponsible dish does it make me?

From my personal experience, scanning things by yourself instead of more experienced cashier is somewhat slower (maybe 20-40% for large amounts?) for reasons you provided. The thing is, you don’t have to replace one cashier with one self-checkout, instead you may put like 5 of them and assign one employee to supervise them and solve things that need intervention like verifying age. Also when not in use (low amount of customers) they probably cost tiny fraction of employee’s wage. Idk about thefts though.

My guess is it was probably supposed to say TIP, not TOP.

Well, now he is

Man I’ve seen title, assumed 196 and thought “fuck those non-descriptive titles, especially to random link, wtf”. And then I check comments and this is not even 196, what in the actual hell whyyyyyyyy. Not even the shitpost community

Well, if you put them right in the normal outlet you bypass breaker and built in fuses, if breaker is open. If it is closed, then it maybe should pop if whole net outside house consumes more current than your house is allowed to (so maybe immediately), but still provides no protection inside. Or maybe if you have individual low-current rated breakers for every outlet, then yes, in this specific scenario it should technically work. Still, you know, generally bad idea.

Wait but hear me out. Imagine big genius scenario where you intentionally order something else counting on waitress getting it wrong so you end up getting exactly what you [secretly] wanted. Outsmarted outsmarting

Given that’s a greentext, legitimately expected anon to somehow get injured or killed by some not paying attention driver on unsafe road or something. Glad he didn’t.

First I somehow understood it like X as ex-twitter, and was like, “whoa, never saw it, bit interesting and kinda unique”. Then made connection to Arch, and finally then to X11 /xorg. Huh

Voyager on Android works too

Ah, won again. Thank you

Lignux balls)) Btw, I personally like it, shame it won’t spread.

For a couple of seconds I thought it’s the Solar Power Plant from X3 Terran Conflict.

And then whole night too
