Dear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can’t imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.

Those bracketed words immediately made me think of Spamton from Deltarune.

Honestly, that would have to be Oneshot, and it was amazing. All I can really say without spoiling it is that it’s somewhat like Undertale in terms of enjoyment, at least for me.

I’m pretty sure there’s only been one time I broke my install, which was on an Ubuntu distro. This was on my old laptop, and it’s partitions are interesting because I have 1 main partition and 2 others (the first was my windows partition, before it stopped working for whatever reason and I thought it couldn’t be fixed. The second was the install that I broke).

Anyways, I remember I was trying to run some command, I can’t remember what, but I knew it kept eventually saying “Permission Denied” at some point. This was like 4-5 years ago, so again I don’t remember the details, but I’m certain I would’ve known to try sudo, but that didn’t work for whatever reason. I remember trying really hard to get this command to work, but it wouldn’t, so I got so frustrated that I just went to /usr and ran chmod -R 777 ./. I honestly didn’t think this would break anything. Why would it? Surely relaxing the permissions on some files won’t break anything? I mean, the only time an error could occur is if I restricted the permissions, so relaxing them shouldn’t do anything.

At the time, I didn’t know about setuid, which is a permission flag that is important for allowing one user to run a command as a privileged user (like root, for example). So, what probably happened was I removed the setuid on /usr/bin/sudo, effectively breaking sudo. At the time I didn’t know what I had done, though, so hence I didn’t know how to fix it, so I just reinstalled Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, I haven’t played much of the classic games like the ones these characters are allegedly from, I usually play indie games. So, pretty much all of these went over my head until I got to the Halo one. I immediately knew this was lying because I know that quote is from Duke Nukem (I’m not implying I’ve played Duke Nukem, though, I’ve just heard of that quote).

Although, even though I’ve played pokemon before (like, once, years ago, but still), the fucking “Ash Ketchum is the hero from the Pokemon games” went over my head, and I feel embarassed for not realizing it’s bullshit.

You might actually be right, from what I’ve heard. Fever, like vomiting and diarrhea, does seem to actually serve a purpose for the immune system. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take anti-fever medications if you have a dangerously high fever, obviously.

Note, I am not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt.

That makes sense. I just thought he had something against Youtube (and for good reason), since he only said “Not watching a YT video” instead of “Not watching a 20min video”.

You could always use Invidious or Piped (instance list here) to avoid using YT directly if you want. You won’t get any ads or anti-adblocker bullshit with Invidious, so I usually use that. I’m not sure about Piped, but it seems good too. Unless your point is to simply stop using YT for anything, in which case just ignore what I said.

EDIT: To the now 8 of you who downvoted me, just, why? No, seriously, why. If you downvote me, please at least tell me why you are instead of downvoting and leaving. It makes me anxious to think that I was a dick or spreading misinformation or just being rude and not even noticing it, and would much rather have someone say something to me so I can at least know what people don’t like. That’s not to say I would agree with it, I might not, but I’d rather know what the problem is so I can agree or disagree.

Luckily that hasn’t happened to me yet, though I’d say pacman is still far better than something like apt, even if you have to untangle dependencies.

Literally never heard of paru before now, I just went with yay, since it’s better than manually git clone-ing the aur package and also manually reviewing the PKGBUILD and then building it. I’ll try it out and see how it is.

Pacman + yay is superior. pacman for most packages, and yay to use the AUR, where you can get pretty much anything that can be downloaded online, but as a package so that you can more easily manage what shit you’ve downloaded before but no longer need.
