    Oh absolutely, and I’ll happily admit it. I know almost nothing about SG, but then again I have some strong opinions about christianity without having read the work of fiction they base their whole lives around.

    I just remember that your mother should stone you to death, if you wear clothing woven from two types of fabric or sth along those lines. Who cares about details of a mediocre work of fiction?

    And the military not even consulting a real scientist makes its antiinterlectualism worse lol

    They’re not all that afraid of what’s out there.

    That’s why they are always sending armed soliders first?

    Milprop is often like that: Oh no we’re the diplomatic good guys forced to fight. Why are they making us do this? We could’ve been friends, if you just allowed us to install our puppet signed our trade agreement. Now we unfortunately have to raze your cities and salt your fields. I hope you’re sorry :'(

    Meh, imo compared to most of Star Trek or Babylon 5 it was kinda mid (even Star Wars - The Clone War was better). Just basically American mil-prop but in space.

    Let me remind you of the original premise: A conspiracy theorist nutjob eccentric professor (thinks aliens build the pyramids, but is somehow still allowed to lecture at an university) is hired by the military to help them explore an unknown world where they have to save uncivilised savages helpless slaves (using, you’ve guessed it: guns) from an evil dictator all powerfull god (who still needs slaves tho).

    The more I think about it, it’s not even mid, it’s crap. It has no wonder for what’s beyond the stars, just a constant psychotic fear of anything that could even remotely be considered a danger to America Earth. And the only solution to it is shoot at it.




  • I think this article is a great analysis of what deep rooted flaws linux desktop distros have, but I think it is a bit disconnected from the average user (obligatory xkcd).

    If the average linux user needs a programm they google what they need land on stack overflow telling them to use their package manager to install it.

    If the average windows user needs a program/feature, they google it. They klick on the first link and install the first .exe they find. Has anyone you know used the microsoft store?

    Or take gaming as another example. The default expirience for online multiplayer games requires kernel level anticheat on windows. This effectively circumvents windows carefully crafted security model for most tripple A online games.

    So yes the average linux machine is probably not as secure as a MacOs or windows machine. But the way they are commonly used I highly doubt windows machines are more secure.





  • Have you tried RTFM? :P

    Jokes aside afaik you could do everything you mentioned with sort, find (with -type f, -printf and -mtime) and grep (filtering via regex with the -e flag).

    Alternatively you could try KDE’s file explorer dolphin (or even just its search utility kfind) as a graphical alternative.

    My point is switching to linux is not quick or easy, but there are few really impassable roadblocks (games with shitty kernel level anticheat for example) and there is a high likelyhood someone in this community has encountered your problems aswell and migjt even know a solution.
