While yβall were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.

TBH y'all have decided to come to us for help when we gave up compooters and took up farming
I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all π
I'm kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.
Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!

Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.
#!/bin/bash
ping 255.255.255.0 > checker &
sleep 5
kill "$!"
grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.0'
ping 255.255.255.1 > checker &
sleep 5
kill "$!"
grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.1'
ping 255.255.255.2 > checker &
sleep 5
kill "$!"
grep unreachable checker || echo '255.255.255.2'
...
Did I do it coach? π
You get an A for effort!
nmap -sn x.x.0.0/24 I think, was a while. Pure coincidence how I know.
Edit: no, it's one less x because 16 is the middle.
Close!
That's not a bash script silly.
Just add #!/bin/bash before the code from above.
Dang.

As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.
That's the purpose
As a 2 week arch Linux user I related to this meme. In fact I might incorporate this into my personality.

Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?
I ran XP for years after, Win 7 until 2.5 yrs ago, and bumped my current laptop back to 10 immediately.
Soon enough I'll be changing it to Mint tho 'cause shit is real out there now.

It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

On the other hand, the CLIt is something he'll never get to master.
Gimp = green is my pepper
I look like that and say that
This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?
The original:
Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.
I see what you did there. Would that I were a sword nerd. I was just googling the original because I couldn't remember how it went and noticed it had an entirely different dude in it.
ββ¦you have the audacity to come to me for help?
Sure! Linux isnβt nearly as difficult to use as people think. Thereβs a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but youβd face that if you switched to Mac, too. Hereβs a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if itβs just too different from what youβre used to, it wonβt have made any changes. Have fun!β

As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.
I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they're requiring it...
I think this is very cringe.
Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.
