I would have just went with ubuntu but I'm glad a friend suggested mint. It's really nice.

Steam has made a lot of contributions to proton though because of the steam deck so game support on linux has improved by orders of magnitude in recent years
Thu 12:25
but lately I mostly just look at the video games I could be playing if I didn't have kids
Thu 12:25
@terdon I wasn't in the closet. I've always said I stuck with windows because I play a lot of video games

they went too far years ago I guess but I'm lazy
Wed 22:50
I finally made the switch to linux for my PC. Windows just went too far

a lot of the stuff I get also doesn't make any sense like this
Jun 9 10:53
Luckily gmail is pretty good at catching it
Jun 9 10:53
you should how much spam I get lol
Jun 9 10:53
I still haven't put a captcha on the contact us form on my website
Jun 9 10:40
Should I wait for them to edit the questions before I flag them as spam when it's the same user as another spam post
Jun 9 10:20
I wonder how effective this is though, I don't expect many people that use this site would fall for such an obvious phishing scam
Jun 9 10:11
@MarcusMüller heh thanks, just got two
Jun 8 23:30
@MarcusMüller damn I missed it
Jun 7 14:34
yeah
Jun 7 14:32
yeah. You get a badge for 500 helpful flags, I'm at 453
Jun 7 14:31
@MarcusMüller Not sure what you mean
Jun 7 14:29
@MarcusMüller I need 47 more flags
Jun 6 17:34
damnit you all are too fast, let me get some of these flags lol
Jun 5 16:04
heh

does anyone know the cheapest day to fly on alaskan airlines?
May 30 17:54
@user23463397 It's unclear what you are asking. File extensions are somewhat meaningless in linux
May 30 00:17
thing is like 60% questions about stack overflow, 35% questions about how I feel about AI taking my job (not whether or not I think AI is capable of taking my job), and 5% questions about development
May 30 00:16
I am very disappointed with the 2025 developer survey
May 24 13:46
^ just realized that isn't a valid way to set an array so naturally do it less bad than me
May 24 11:44
glob_arr=$(foo/*)
somescript.sh "${glob_arr[@]}"
echo "${glob_arr[@]}"
May 24 11:43
@Harv would be a good question for the site but you could probably use an intermediary array
May 15 14:28
when are they supposed to open the spam chat rooms?
May 14 17:59
Sweet, we can find out how to contact experian customer support in chat now
May 14 13:21
not anymore, you snatched them all up
May 14 13:16
I think all interaction on this site has really plummeted in the past year or two so there is a lack of questions and comments in general
May 14 13:15
@StephenKitt Yeah I do occasionally but I don't find them that often. I feel bad too. For example one I flagged recently the person made the comment again because they feel it added value so I don't want to start fights over it
May 14 11:00
I don't even get this spam tbh, who is going to see that and think "oh yeah I do need to file a claim with expedia"
May 14 10:56
one of them was pretty clever they actually asked a question first (albeit a terribly unclear one). I was in the process of editing it to add code blocks when the OP edited it to be about flying american airlines or whatever
May 14 10:55
nice all this spam is getting me closer to 500 flags
May 13 21:44
Happy birthday @Kusalananda
May 12 17:05
thanks @terdon
May 11 11:57
oh no matter what you wont see it with which nvm because WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F were they thinking...it doesn't install a script or binary to path, it's literally just a function that gets sourced by [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
May 11 11:55
did you restart your terminal?
May 11 11:54
nvm is an abomination
May 8 22:09
I've got some tomatoes, jalapenos, thai chilis, poblanos, and green beans
May 8 22:09
@JeffSchaller funny you should say that because I was just admiring my neighbor's fort knox garden
May 8 22:03
You doing any gardening this year @JeffSchaller?
May 8 15:37

May 6 14:11
RIP skype
