I wanna deep throat Stallman's cock

>>62325702
It's time to face the facts. Richard Stallman is nothing more than a whining, overly obese autistic manbaby who has not done anything beneficial for the computing OR technology world in the past 20 years. Seriously. Name something that RMS has done after 1995 besides bitching, crying, and moaning about bullshit that does not matter, or making some retarded, incomprehensible speech.

He demands that Linux be called GNU/Linux. That is fucking insane. The only reason GNU, GPL, and FSF are still a THING is because of Linus and the invention of Linux. If anything, Stallman should rename GNU to Linux/GNU, because without Linus, the GNU, GPL, and FSF would not be a thing anymore.

Stallman still has the fucking gonads to act like he's superior to everyone else. Saying shit such as "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone" right after Steve Jobs' death. What an asshole. Stallman has not even programmed a single line of code since 2008, that was AFTER he essentially stopped in 1992.

He should be fucking grateful Linus stepped in to save his ass, and even allowing him to take partial credit for his achievements. If it wasn't for Linus, he would be nothing, he would probably be dead in a Burger King dumpster right now.

Besides, what has he ever even done? He claims to have written eMacs, but in reality he actually cloned gosmacs (the first eMacs that was made for UNIX). He didn't even write 50% of the code in eMacs.

You might say he wrote GCC and GDB, but the truth is that he initally wrote the C compiler, but now the vast majority for the same compiler is done by contributors.

He's a washed up, morbidly obese man who tries to stay relevant by having these retarded arguments that are similar to those found in the Soviet Union. Face it GNU/Freetards, Richard Stallman is a fat dickhead, and the only reason his name is still in the books is because of Linus's achievements.

It's time to face the facts. Linus Torvalds is nothing more than a whining, overly obese autistic manbaby who has not done anything beneficial for the computing OR technology world in the past 20 years. Seriously. Name something that Torvalds has done after 1991 besides bitching, crying, and moaning about bullshit that does not matter, or making some retarded, incomprehensible blogpost on Google+.

He demands that GNU/Linux be called Linux. That is fucking insane. The only reason Linux is even a THING is because of RMS and the Free Software movement. If anything, Linus should rename Linux to The GNU kernel, because this is the most common system where Linux is installed.

Linus still has the fucking gonads to act like he's superior to everyone else. Saying shit such as "My name is Linus Torvalds and I am your god." or "I hope you all die a painful death." What an asshole. Linus wrote like the first 2 percent of Linux, everything else was developed by the community.

He should be fucking grateful RMS stepped in to save his ass, and even allowing him to take partial credit for his achievements. If it wasn't for the GPL, he would be nothing, Linux would probably still sit on some FTP, being proprietary.

Besides, what has he ever even done? He claims to have written Linux, but in reality he actually cloned Minix (created by Andrew S. Tanenbaum for educational purpose). He didn't even write 2% of the code in Linux.

You might say he wrote Linux and Git, but the truth is that he initally wrote the some lines for Linux, but now the vast majority for the same kernel is done by contributors.

He's a washed up, morbidly obese man who tries to stay relevant by having these retarded arguments that are similar to those found in Silicon Valley. Face it Linuxers, Linus is a beardless man, and the only reason his name is still in the books is because of Stallman's achievements.

You know that MINIX is a microkernel and Linux is a monolithic kernel, right? That means they couldn't share any code.

I know... sadly the only time they were seen together was in some Linux event where the FSF was awarded the Linux award or something. They were at the same stage when RMS got the award and went on to preach the crowd about saying GNU/Linux and saying that the award was like giving the Han Solo Award to the Rebel Fleet... https://youtu.be/xnb_eFSnXFI

Please avoid using the term “photoshop” as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general. Photoshop is just the name of one particular image editing program, which should be avoided since it is proprietary. There are plenty of free programs for editing images, such as the GIMP.

You can't really steal ideas from a microkernel and use it to design a monolithic kernel. They are completely different things.

I tried cleaning from a liveCD (ubuntu 16.10) and didn't have any of the permissions to remove any of the files from the /tmp folder, does this mean I'm gonna have to get sudo working on a live disc to remove the files or something?

A distro isn't developed by one person. Many people write programs for many systems, a distribution is a combination of random software projects, where tha package manage can require python, a program for maintence may be written in perl, etc.
>Are you saying I can't remove perl either?
Yes.

zsh is POSIX compatible, which means you can run ordinary shell script and zsh script, but it's nto quaranteed that bash scripts work because different syntax and features.

>A distro isn't developed by one person

No but there's generally a small group of people that decide what makes it into a distro. They could've enforced one script for consistency.

>>Are you saying I can't remove perl either?
>Yes
God dammit!

>but it's nto quaranteed that bash scripts work because different syntax and features.

I see thanks. So basically I'm stuck. I need to keep a bazillion scripting languages because some snow flakes out there want to code in their preferred snow flake language.

>>62329754
Oh fuck off already. They could easily write all scripts in one language and it wouldn't make much difference. The only real reason we have this bloat is because the Linux community has always been autistic, that's why it suffers so much from fragmentation, not only in scripting but also in distros.

>>62329937

Everyone should use whatever language they like, however, good engineering dictates that simplicity and uniformity are paramount to any technical project. Gluing an OS with an array of scripting languages to cater to every snowflake is the very opposite of good engineering. You want to code using DeadLanguage #3658, fine, but distro maintainers should pick one language and stick with it.

>>62330557
you're stupid

>>62330572

Well obviously now that you've posted such a well thought and eloquent reply my opinions on Linux's scripting languages have changed completely. I'm now ready to except all the bloat and make an official request to the Debian maintainers to add even more scripting languages, maybe even break up the kernel and glue it together in JavaScript.
You fucking idiot.

You know, I've spent the last few weeks reading the best books on the Linux OS such as Understanding the Linux Kernel by Robert Love or Linux Device Drivers by Corbet and I have to tell you, none of them mention GNU/Linux, they only talk about Linux. Actually Love even has a paragraph talking about why it's just Linux instead of GNU/Linux. Same thing with all the CS books I've read, they only mention Linux and that the kernel IS the OS. Not that neo-/g/ would know anything about that, you're all shitty webdevs around here.

How the fuck do I make a bootable iso of W10 on Linux? I just got Ryzen and I need to stress test it, and Linux doesn't find the sensors, so I have to do it in Windows. Except NOTHING FUCKING WORKS. I tried dd, winusb, woeusb, and the best I got was a legacy BIOS bootable device that showed a windows logo and then got stuck on black screen. This is the second day of trying to install thus piece of shit just so I can check that I'm not fucking melting my CPU and I'm going insane, please help.

You have a window 10 iso though, so install it in a VM and create your bootstick from there.

>>62332106
Is there any VM software that recognizes USB drives correctly? I could never mount a drive in VMWare.

>>62331836
NOTE: I only used this method on BIOS based computers, absolutely no guarantee that it works on (((UEFI)))
0. find a free flash drive
1. repartition it. MS-DOS partition table, one partition, type: 07 - HPFS/NTFS/exFAT, set it active
2. make NTFS filesystem on it
3. mount your windows 7/8/10 iso to somewhere and copy EVERYTHING from it to your flash drive. You can also use a GUI packer to unpack the iso file if it supports it.
4. umount the flash drive, sync it
5. install ms-sys. If you distro doesn't have it, grab it from http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/ and compile it like a man
6. Use ms-sys to set up microbenis compatible boot records on your flash drive. Assuming you drive is sdb run

ms-sys --mbr7 /dev/sdb
ms-sys --ntfs /dev/sdb1

7. your USB should be ready to go

glx-no-stencil = true;

Now I switched to the open source radeon driver which works better and xfce doesn't tear even without compton. I just had to create

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"

1. prepare a gnu+linux installation pendrive as usual
2. download and install EasyBCD. Free (as in free beer) for home use
3. start easybcd. Go to "Edit boot menu" and set it to countdown. Set it to 5-10 seconds, whatever works for you
4. go to add new entry. in the Portable/Extended media go to BIOS extender and select install PLoP
5. you are done. Close easybcd, reboot then select "EasyBCD BIOS Extender" from the menu. the PLoP boot manager will let you boot from USB, CDROM, floppy and HDD.

Plop is free software thou. You can put in on floppy, cdrom or chainload it from Windows (like I suggested) boot loader or grub. It can be used to boot from USB on shitboxes that cannot boot from USB.

>> Will Debian still work if I remove bash from it?

Bash is an interpreter that may run interactively or non-interactively. Many of Debian's OS userland pieces are written in bash. They could be replaced with scripts written in Perl, or Ruby, or even Javascript (no point though really).

If you are interested in the userland look at NixOS and GNU GUIX. GNU GUIX is kind of the GNU world (mostly academic) acknowledgement that NixOS had the right idea.

When you do ldd on a binary on NixOS you get a hash so there are no collisions on the Unix hierarchical filesystem namespace.

I would imagine pentadactyl or vimfx does that, although I've never used them. I'm guessing this because I use KeySnail, and I can use C-a, C-f, M-a ... while filling out the post form on 4chan and basically every other website where there's a text form to fill.

fug, one less variation, works for debian and derivs.

1. fire up easyBCD again and install NeoGRUB (optional: remove plop)
2. go to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/
and grab the files "linux" and "initrd.gz"
of course, from a similar path you can grab the i386 images or the gtk installer
3. save the two files to an easy-to-access path... like the root of your c:\
4. reboot, in your boot menu choose neogrub
5. you are now should be in a grub shell. fire up debian with

kernel /linux
initrd /initrd.gz

6. now you should be in your everyday debian installer. proceed as usual.

If you're logged in as root, can a CD in the CD-ROM drive be modified by a malicious program?

>>62338047
Yes

>>62338047
Your question leads me to believe that you're under the impression "you" have a user who can either elevate his permissions or not and any other application running under your user can do anything "you" can including use elevated permissions.

That's now how things work. Don't think of it as "you" who has a user and permissions, but rather applications and files that have users and permissions.
When your computer starts up and asks you to log in what it's really doing is asking which user you want to allow to launch its desktop environment or window manager under.

So your environment is running under a specific user. When you launch applications they inherit their user and permissions from that environment. If you launch a terminal (it also inherits permissions) and then log in as root it doesn't retroactively change the permissions of any other running application. ONLY that bash session has root access.
So if you have some malicious program on your machine that's already running as your normal user and then you login as root the malicious program is still non-privileged.

However, there are of course ways a malicious program might attempt to elevate itself. For instance there might be a way it could hijack your root terminal once you login. But it's extremely unlikely. For the most part there is nothing to worry about when using a root shell other than your own human error.

You're overthinking it.

The "bads" and the "goods" of software and business practices are far too complicated to give perfect rigorous descriptions too, and even if you could they would likely contain loopholes anyway.

You need to use some common sense and remember why something is bad in the first place. There is nothing inherently wrong with using a website that offers a calculator interface rather than a calculator on your machine.
It's only bad because those services are usually created to farm data of some kind or to spy on you. If the calculator service is spying on you or saving a log of all the calculations you do to sell to some other company who's interested for some reason then that's bad.
You should watch out for SaaSS because they are usually gimmicks to get your data. Maybe 4chan does that too? I don't know. But being a communication service is actually very useful and not inherently bad itself.

>>62339083
It should be labeled as a bios partition on the GPT and formatted as fat32. Then you need to put the kernel image in it and install grub for efi. Check out the arch wiki for the actual commands. Note that your computer needs to be booted in efi mode for grub to be able to do this.

Trying to install Brave and I'm stuck on the very first step:

// To install brave using apt and lsb_release:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-`lsb_release -sc`.list

What the fuck does this mean and what am I supposed to do with it?

I installed arch with i3 through virtualbox, but the login prompt isn't working for me. I had a very basic password (123 type shit), and it isn't letting me in. It won't say incorrect username/password or anything. The prompt just refreshes.

I fucked up my GPU driver installation and now my Arch hangs when loading it. I blacklisted radeon but it probably still tries to load it. How can I get grub to boot up straight into shell so I can remove the blacklist?

>>62339432
Yeah but then you can't even use the internet at all because our computers aren't all directly linked without any middle man. To send any messages over the internet at all is to send your data through many different servers, that's just how it is. So from that point of view just explicitly adding 4chan as another middle man doesn't really change anything.
So for that reason I wouldn't consider it to be SaaSS, because you DON'T possess any software on your machine that can send a message directly to me without going through anyone else first.

On a side note though, probably the closest thing you can get to what you're looking for is peer-to-peer encryption so the servers just transmit your message but can't read them. Nothing is perfect though, people have been trying to solve these problems forever without any really good answers.

>>62339458
It is a command to run in the terminal. Although it looks like you have an extra linebreak in the curl url argument.
The first line uses curl to fetch thoir repo key and then pipe it to apt-key add so that debian now trusts their signing key and wil install stuff from their repo.
The second command adds their repo url to a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ so that apt knows about it. It uses lsb_release to figure out what distro version you are on.
After that you should be able to run apt update and apt install brave
But if you are too new to figure out what that two liner does I suggest you don't run it because it involves telling your OS to trust code from an unknown repo.

I vote for Alacritty. At least to keep an eye on as it develops, looks like it could be really great once they add scrollback. Better than st in my opinion.

That's actually pretty cool

>>62339887
It is no faster than urxvt and has no features.

>>62339883
No, but you'll ultimativly end up with one of these anyway in some months/years, so why not speed everything up?

I personally use URxvt because fallback fonts, perl scripting, good customation and client/demon mode.

However, URxvt has some flaws: Stuff like fontawesome woun't work without patching and true color support is "scaled down" to 256 colors. Here st is the better option.

>>62339938
What makes you say it's no faster?
Also I'm getting tired of URxvt's crappy character spacing in certain fonts that can't be fixed. One feature alacritty does have that URxvt doesn't is the ability to have negative line spacing

Cool thing is that it uses your custom colors, so it fits with rice. Movement is hjkl.

Do you even know the difference between letters and lines?

>What makes you say it's no faster?
Testing it in the only way I could bother, catting a multi gigabyte text file.
The only other thing I can think of to test it is the fps of libsixel doom or something and I can't be bothered setting that up.
Do you really believe every claim some meme pet project comes up with?

>>62340046
thanks but I don't see anything on how to change the scrollbar's appearance in there

>>62340082
man urxvt
/scroll

Do you always get angry at people who are interested in software you personally aren't?

I bet you didn't even give half as much thought to your own support of "st", which is much more of a "meme" terminal in my opinion.

>>62340082
Just hide it.

What is your favorite programming language and why?

The right language for the right task.

That said. C. (Not C#, not C++, I really mean fucking C).

What FOSS video editors do you guys use?

>>62340119
I have never used or supported st and I didn't get angry because are interested an allacritty. So am I, that's why I tested it out weeks ago. Recommending non-newbie ready projects to newbies based on claims that you haven't even verified is poor form.
