Ask Lemmy

Slackware is still an important and useful distro.
It doesn't make any assumptions about how you want to use your computer.
Do you want a system that's more stable than Debian or as bleeding edge as Arch?
Do you want a minimal system that runs on an old 486 or a full-featured KDE desktop?
Do you want to compile from source, download tarballs from Github, install .deb packages, .rpm packages or FlatPaks?
Are you running a web server or a laptop?
Slackware don't care. There's no "Don't break Debian", no "Partial upgrades are unsupported", no "Don't mix in other repos", no "Don't edit this file, it will be overwritten". Do whatever the fuck you want, it's your PC.

Toilet paper over the top

3 meals a day is completely unnecessary, and just eating one large meal works just as well. Saves time, too. I can sleep in because no breakfast to worry about cooking, lunch can be used to just relax or do something else, and then dinner is larger, but cooking more of the same food doesn't generally take that much longer.

The paperclip character from Microsoft Office is called Clippit, not Clippy.

I can't take people who say "your guyses" seriously.

I will always choose to read stupidly spelled product or brand names exactly as written.

Black and White Checkered Vans High Tops are not good shoes.

I have given up on "steep learning curve". A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.

People trying to stop an industrial war machine built on religious differences and racism by saying "I'm not voting for ______ until _____ happens" are ineffective idiots too stupid to understand the blatant bullshit they're peddling or the power they have in their vote.

If you want to change a politician's mind, you don't do it by dangling your vote on a carrot.

The way too common misuse of the personal pronoun in the objective case. There are legitimate grammatical uses for "me" and the objective case is one of them. Learn it, kids.

Romeo and Juliet is a comedy, not a tragedy.

Two teenagers thinking their first crush is worth literally killing themselves in the dumbest scenario imaginable, I mean come on!

Chicago style pizza is not a style of pizza

Aluminum

Over cooking beef is sad, I'll make a medium or well steak if you ask me, but it hurts to do so

I don't care what they say, a single space after a period at the end of a sentence is NOT enough. Now get offa my lawn!
