City folks are definitely a thing, and suburban folks ain’t much different. The US is big and has a lot of rural communities. Even the most populated states (California, Texas, New York) all have large areas of agriculture or otherwise sparse population

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
91·2 years agoI know a few trans or nonbinary folks. They either go by he, she, or they. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t. Then again I live in a weird progressive rural community.
But if someone asks me to refer to them a particular way, sure what not? It means more to them than it means to me.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's the most obscure distro you can think of
9·2 years agoSabayon Linux. I’m not sure if it’s still releasing updates, the main website is dead. It was based on Gentoo and later funtoo, but had a package manager of precompiled binaries. You could still use emerge if you wanted to. Definitely a weird and interesting distro
Blend OS is trying to do the declarative nixos thing but with an arch base. That’s pretty cool.
ClearOS was Intel’s attempt at an immutable os. From what I remember it was really fast.
Edit: actually it clear Linux not clearOS. Edit: also clear Linux is stateless. I don’t know, there’s a lot about it I don’t understand
Like king Leopold congo? Like where soldiers would only get more bullets if they could prove that the bullet they used killed a person?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was something you learned too late in life?
7·2 years agoI think you can just be grateful to have or experience something. Like you can’t be grateful to anyone for a full moon, but you can be grateful that you saw it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants?
1·2 years agoComfort can be about how you look. I have some clothes that are super comfortable, but if I wore them out in public I would be arrested because I look like a drug dealer. Find something comfy in the way that it reflects how you want to be seen

12·2 years agoI mean, looking like you know what you’re doing, looking confident doesn’t mean you have to dress plain.
Also I am sure gym bros will complement you on your body. Kind of like how as a straight man I only get compliments on my facial hair from other men. Look for validation from your friends not randos
I watched a video a little while ago , I think the only value winamp has is nostalgic and historical. If it was really open source maybe we could get a really good fork and that’s about it, I think. Maybe I’m missing the point, let me know I’m not very smart at this stuff.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst book you’ve ever read?
8·2 years agoThe Alchemist, I had to read it for a community college class. It’s probably the most predictable book I’ve ever read, but not in an entertaining way. Just painfully boring.
I read Siddhartha for highschool a couple years before, I would say that the books are almost identical, except I liked Siddhartha more.
You want a book with similar themes but actually amazing? The wizard of Earthsea.
I know the books aren’t literally the same. But the vibes feel very similar. I want to say they have very similar structure, but my memory doesn’t work that great.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the wildest book you've ever read?
3·2 years agoI don’t know about wild, but UNSONG has been a very weird trip. It’s like science fiction, except instead of science its Jewish kabbalah. There’s angels, demons, alt history American politics, religious references that are truly esoteric, and puns… lots and lots of puns.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you could "Eternal Sunshine" a piece of media so that you could listen to it for the first time again, what would it be?
6·2 years agoJust listened to it. Yeah I get it

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some good games with really awesome stories?
4·2 years agoWildermyth is a weird game that comes up with really interesting procedurally generated stories as you play through the life of an adventurer.

Linux@lemmy.ml•So what did it take for you to go to Linux?
1·2 years agoI think it was around the time of the windows 10 beta, I was trying that out and also dual booting with Linux mint.
I remember being a little frustrated with getting games to work great on Linux, but even more frustrated just using Windows. So I thought “Linux makes me less mad, I’m just going to use that”
I think having thousands of insects collect that nectar is more efficient than trying to do it by hand. But I’d be curious to taste if the bees impart any additional flavor. I know honey made by giving bees primarily sugar water doesn’t taste like much, but there could be other stuff going on with the nectar inside the bee.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What fiction or fantasy battle deserves a Sabaton song?
3·2 years agoAs a 40k fan, there are so many good ones (as comes as a surprise to no one). Some personal favorites of mine are:
- Anything from the 3rd war for Armageddon
- The battle of Hellsreach
- The invasion of Rin’s world
- Istvan V dropsite massacre
- And of course the fall of Cadia

6·2 years agoNot fiction nor fantasy, and that I think makes it all the more deserving
“chown” is a command for changing the users and groups who own a file. But the options “775 xyz” are used with chmod, a command for changing what permissions the owners and groups have over a file. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do so I can’t tell what part of the command is wrong.
Either way you can run a command with elevated permissions by putting “sudo” in front of the command. Or by switching to the root user by using the command “su” or “sudo -i” (if you have sudo access, but don’t know the root password)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a person from 1700 asked you your job, would they understand your answer, and if not, how would you explain it to them?
2·2 years agoYeah, maybe I’m the one who hasn’t gotten over it. Some days it’s the worst part of going to work (the other days it’s usually the weather that’s the worst part)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a person from 1700 asked you your job, would they understand your answer, and if not, how would you explain it to them?
5·3 years agoI put roofs on, both slate and standing seam. They would probably be surprised at how much money the really rich people have. But explaining standing seam would be pretty easy.
We even get our copper from Revere, as in Paul Revere, though he wasn’t born until 1735.

There was a lot more I missed when I switched, can’t think of anything now. I was going to joke that I miss being 19. But eh, I’m doing better now than I was then.
