Woah woah woah, your European is showing, Americans prefer the term States opposed to Provinces.

How can an outsider support your business?

Take that survey, express yourself

I guess when I see and hear the word meme I always correlated with humor and or comedy, but it appears that I’ve had my definition wrong for the last 15 years, appreciate the insight.

Not to knock your knowledge and the history, but how does this makes it a good meme?

This meme sucks.

If you use it, use the web-app version whenever possible, the experience will be shittier but at least its not a executable application that can run arbitrary code on your device without your knowledge.

Truthfully, documentation is your friend, read it and interpret it as best as you can.

and I want to be able to download “app” “installers” like you do with PC or MacOS

Linux systems use Repositories to install “packages”, these packages are pieces of software that are either small or relatively large, for example the Linux kernel itself is a pre-installed package on every Linux distro.

Packages can sometimes depend on other packages to function properly, this is what we call “dependencies”, if you’re missing a dependency that a package requires it will likely fail to execute.

Lately we’ve been seeing packages like Flatpak and Snap enter the Linux ecosystem, their goal is to make Linux easy for newcomers such as yourself where you don’t have to worry about dependencies and you just click the “install” button for a package and be done with it however, in the background Flatpaks and Snaps put that package in a “virtualized container” with the already required dependencies installed, which works great for newcomers but most Linux veterans will prefer native packages as they’re easier to troubleshoot and requires less overhead (resources) from the computer.

Circling back, it is important to note the top 3 distributions available. Debian, Fedora and Arch the majority of distros out there base themselves off of one of these 3, Ubuntu is based off of Debian, SteamOS is based off of Arch and Nobara is based of off Fedora, you get the idea, personally I’m a Debian user and suggest it only if you want the ”raw” Linux experience otherwise I would suggest Linux Mint and or Kubuntu for beginners who’re just learning.

Torqued

Australia is a bit of a surprise, is it just poorly cut or is there a backstory to this?

Liberals and conservatives don’t like it when you call them out on their bullshit.

Oh I know, whenever he sends out an email for an update to the web-app I react with a “😢” in outlook every time because he’ll just push updates without having anyone test them.

This is not a software company at all, lately he decided to write his own PDF editor and switch out the one he found on GitHub for it, well the folks in the shop certainly weren’t happy to find out they couldn’t print drawings anymore or that mobile devices had poor compatibility with it.

I have been laughed out every time I’ve mentioned it for years.

I got approval from my managers and IT to install a Linux based OS on my work desktop, then a half-wit Windows-fanboy dev chimed in claiming our insurance would not cover the operating system if there were ever a security breach, data loss, etc. to say I was infuriated was an understatement.

All we use is a Web-App to accomplish our tasks, no in-house proprietary executables or anything along those lines, hell they claimed their Web-App wouldn’t work on Firefox browsers, which of course was a lie.

I remember growing up being taught Windows, not how a computer works or a how a kernel communicates with the installed hardware, looking back at our education system it certainly frustrating and I doubt we’ll ever see any significant change.

Only game I care about from Microsoft is Halo Wars 2. Shame it got released as a UWP application.

I also know there is a script you can set up which will handle the initial contact to federate automatically.

I tried finding such a script but had no luck. I was able to export my subscription list from sh.itjust.works and imported it on my instance.

I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the communities I follow as I was experiencing the ‘Subscribe Pending’ issue but after a little while things seemed to start evening out and becoming a bit more stable.

My instance has been online for about a month, the supplied docker-compose.yaml was quite straightforward, had a little headache with Nginx but nothing overly complicated.

The long-con so to speak is federation, you have to subscribe to each community manually to begin federating with them, i have noticed timing issues with other instances such as Lemmy.world and have not been able to resolve them.

I don’t get it, how is this a meme?
