    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.

    I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.

        Unfortunately, people like that are an outsized problem wherever they exist. The extremes are often the most visible parts of a group, especially in the world of algorithmic relevance. If you really want to see whatever your group is achieve cultural success, those people are counterproductive.

      I mean I do reserve the right to get annoyed when I’m asked for help because windows messed something up and they want it fixed in windows.

      In that cases while perhaps a little less polite and more over the top than I would phrase it the meme’s end at least is valid in my opinion.

      I also very quickly get frustrated when people fail to follow the instructions with a program.

        I just say I don’t use windows anymore so I can’t help you from the windows side of things.

        And not following instructions are something that needs to be undone slowly. I tend to just point out the instructions they missed and how they could have avoided the whole ordeal if they read that. Unfortunately you need to teach (or unlearn the windows habit) people that in Linux there’s no BS next next next where there’s no useful info given.

          And yet they come back again and again :(

          I think the rest I would agree with, I’m just impatient with that.

            I think at least few years ago it was much better for laptops if you cared about your laptop’s battery life (on Windows). Not sure how it’s nowadays, or if it works the same way on Linux.

            I think in the end, if you need Chromium-based browser and want something that is supported by bigger corporation for some reason, you need to decide which company you hate more and use competitor’s product.

    I’m kind of surprised at the number of people taking this post seriously.

    After years of suffering under Microsoft’s bugs, you’re ready to have your own bugs no one can help you with.

    Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

      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.

      #!/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? 😭

      #!/bin/bash

      for i in 0…254; do ping -c 4 10.0.0.$i &; done

      wait

      Throwing that many background tasks at once is a little risky, but awesome

    “…you have the audacity to come to me for help?

    Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s 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 it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”
