Exactly, who would put a rebugged version into production anyway?

Yup, and they’re run on an estimated 8.5 million test machines

Ironically this is probably the result of someone using ChatGPT to write their job listing

Sudo? Not likely, on bad days I run as root by default…

I petition to rename ChatGPT to DeepThought based on these results.

That’s the oldest joke in the book. Everybody knows you don’t need to unplug your computer, you can run “sudo reboot” from within vim just fine!

Yeah, it’s obvious a jealous Manjaro user stole that dude’s sticker…

Edit: almost forgot… I use arch btw…

Why are there so many urinals? Just install the urinals you need, frankly we could probably share the same urinal dependency… I also run arch btw…

GNU + GUN

If OP did it recursively they would also need -R

As a Google Workspace user, I recommend going off the grid somewhere streetview can’t find you…

Bloated us a relative term. If it feels bloated then it is, if it doesn’t then it isn’t. The second you start noticing it is when you know you’ve gone too far for your own comfort and should start cleaning more aggressively. Compared to old computers even the cleanest modern linux setup is bloated by comparison in most cases.

No reason? Don’t squander perfectly good bleach. You know there are kids seeing in Africa?

You forgot to take into account leap years or as I’ve come to call them the leaping gnu/years

I added the word “reported” because I don’t trust VPN providers to not keep logs, but ideally they should report that they don’t keep logs and have an established history of not providing logs. Tor is really not ideal if you’re trying to download anything large and you’re still vulnerable depending on who controls the exit nodes.

I was trying to give general advice, since it didn’t sound like they had a trusted private tracker already it’s a good idea to have a VPN to mask your IP. I agree, it probably won’t help against malware.

Simple, trust no one. Get a no-reported-logs VPN, don’t download anything that has a strange file size or extension, look at comments, look at the number of seeders if it’s a torrent. If you can, join something like a private tracker where there’s moderation too. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably not the movie you were looking for and there might be a Trojan army inside waiting for you to let the duck enter your computer… That metaphor may have fallen apart on me…

As an arch user, I’m confused… Doesn’t everyone use curl as their browser?

I need to overwrite windows because currently I’m just considering my laptop unusable until I bother to fix grub after that…

I would normally put an if-statement before that to verify if IGNORANCE still equals BLISS
