In the early days, it was laborwave and esoteric websites, the programmer humor seems relatively new to me
Time to install Ubuntu 😶
I’m glad you’re here. Now there are at least two of us!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
My education background is nursing and social work. I’ve only ever used Windows and very surface level. I’ve never programmed anything, the closest I’ve gotten to anything technical is troubleshooting a game that I’ve modded to within an inch of its life.
Though I’m picking up an old laptop from a school surplus next Monday to wipe and begin exploring Linux. My only other experience with Linux is the interface of my housemates NAS (which I use only to manage a plex and valheim server)
I’m an IT tutor in a community centre - basically just teaching grandma how to close all her iPhone apps. No experience or formal qualifications needed. If you can be patient while showing seniors the basics of the devices they’ve got at home, you’re hired.
Our organisation currently pays too much for an IT managed service provider, who doesn’t provide a comprehensively managed service, so my boss wants to end their contact and hire me as a dedicated IT management officer. My boss is 75 and is confident in my abilities because she thinks power cycling the router when the internet goes out is an amazing and high level skill, but I know enough to know how much I don’t know. But I also know I can learn.
So maybe in a year or so I’ll understand more of the jokes on lemmy.
Your comment made me happy
I studied political science
Oh, you’re looking for NonCredibleDefense.
I know a little bit about programming, but I think that it’s crucial to learn more, not just because of how messed up social media sites are, but because you can do so much cool stuff!
I just wish that other users were into sports too. At least a couple!
What’s there to talk about sports?
…watching or doing? There’s more to talk about doing.
Fuck openai
A corporate going down in history for the abuse of word open despite being anything but
The FLOSS community should have the right to revoke usage of the word “open” from for profit companies like that.
it is kind of ironic, their entire business is constructed by harvesting the open internet. And making the end result closed.
When the company was named, they intended to create open source AI tools, but then greed.

I studied both political science and programming.
I can’t think of a good joke, but I wanted to share.
To make things more confusing, I program, I use linux, and I talk about all of these stuff but I am not a programmer :p .
Me: needing to become a programmer because the professor for my graduate stats class has a hard on for R…
you are one of us now…
I’m no programmer either, but switched to the penguin out of necessity, since my PC completely lost the ability to run Windows for no reason. But I vibe with KDE Plasma now, so it’s not half bad.
(Someone tell me where I find my mounted devices as a folder pls, thanks)
Devices are in /dev. Bulk storage devices can be mounted anywhere on the file system, but by convention you can look up where permanently mounted drives get mounted by looking in /etc/fstab. Automatically mounted drives are usually put in /media and manually mounted devices should go in /mnt.
Not sure what folders they are usually in by default, but I set my mounted drives to be inside of the /mnt folder because I didn’t like wherever they were originally mounted to.
Assuming you mean hot plugged devices (thumb drives and external drives) KDE mounts them under /media
If you are expecting them to auto mount, KDE distros often don’t have that enabled by default. Though I think Kubuntu has that enabled by default now so maybe that has changed. Go to System Settings -> Hardware -> Removable Devices to adjust the automount settings defaults and per drive settings.
If you don’t have automount enabled you probably will need to browse to them in Dolphin once to get KDE to mount the drive first.
The devices should be in the /dev directory
You will assimilate
Ya like jazz?
Do jazz shitposting communities exist? I don’t have the time to create one, but I’d love to see some.
