Go lick the boot more. There’s more to the world than some fucking computers. Go download yourself some grass and touch it.

Another way to do this is sudo su -c 'this is my command’

E.g. change a fan setting on a ThinkPad with:

sudo su -c 'echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'

So to run a shell you could do all sorts of tricks like:

sudo su -c '/bin/bash -i' and such.

Never know when it comes in handy.

EDIT: Damn, downvoted, any reason why? It works on my machine with a locked root user or one without a PW and I made sure to test it before posting, but I’d love an explanation of why it wouldn’t work if that’s the reason for the downvote. Was just hoping it would be useful to somebody :/

Pretty fun (and funny) sci-fi story, the open source katana bit gave me unix surrealism vibes but then again what doesn’t these days.

Jesus Christ this is Windows-tier insane computing behaviour from Ubuntu. Fuck Ubuntu.

Thanks!

How comes?

How come?

Why?

Cockpit.

My brain thought this was loss at first

Fucking hell that’s awful

This is definitely not a “these days” thing, it’s been around for a while, it’s even less explicable now though that flatpak, snap, npm, conda, venvs and docker exist.

I loved terminator but after learning tmux I just don’t really see much point in the main feature. I use xfce4-terminal on i3 these days.

Thanks for letting me know you’re a moron. Blocked.

This is irrational and reactionary.

It’s a take based on an appeal to nature and noble savage fallacies propogated by neolibs and marketing teams making the “organic” play with their products.

AI is just a tool, it’s misuse by Corpos is something we all agree is bad, but by themselves tools do not make you or anyone else less human, nor do glasses make those of poor sight less human etc.

How the absurdity of making such a statement on a sub defined by an identity tied to a computer operating system doesn’t make you re-think that claim is beyond me.

Be better.

Edit: and no it’s pointless to argue, nobody changes their minds, I’m just posting stuff like this so assholes I would like to have blocked come out and make themselves known as they always do.

yawn. So long as he used a local FOSS model there’s nothing wrong with AI.

I’m not commenting on their ethics one way or the other, not because I think stealing from your fellow man is okay (it’s not), but because it’s not relevant.

A criminal is still human and deserves to be treated as such, including certain rights and dignity. Theft is risky and it is hard and nobody’s stealing from porches because their life is good, think about it - why would you if you could just buy the thing?

There’s no fundamental difference like some evil chemical that makes them do bad things, it’s just the reality they find themselves in at the time.

There’s no reason that someone who does so out of whatever makes sense to them at the time should have their lives ruined forever for the revenue of some obnoxious online fuck. We all make mistakes.

In Canada AFAIK, it is illegal to post online footage of porch pirates because despite however bad it may be, they’re still human beings with all the messy complexity that comes with it and thus a certain right to a degree of privacy. I believe this is a good thing.

On a more personal note, I feel strongly about this, I am from Russia. I dodged the draft and escaped. One way authoritarians gain power is by depriving the prisoners of rights, because anyone can be made prisoner with enough vague laws on the books.

It is important that we do not dehumanise criminals for at the very least this reason.

That may very well be, but the videos speak for themselves - there are no “organised groups” on display, mostly just clearly poor folks and maybe some opportunists.

Criminals have rights too. One could say, that as by law in every civilized country, committing a crime does not mean random rich fucks can do whatever they please with you and your life.

And I for one do not particularly find some desperate single mom stealing to give something to her kid in a trailer park being exploited for views to be entertaining or in good taste, even if she is a thief.

I’m not a thief, and I’m not a criminal, but I have far more in common with her than with out of touch rich fucks like that Mark guy.

Who?

Edit: nvm it’s that clickbait glitter guy who harassed the poor for views
