Just do a quick simple sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop

It’s the Secret Service of Ukraine. Dissidents don’t join the Secret Service in the first place, and the people ‘purged’ got treason charges.

No one does firing squad nowadays. It’s either poison or defenestration.

Go on and put AR-15 on your flag, be like Mozambique with AK-47 on their flag.

It’s false that you cannot sell GPL-licensed work.

Busybox was quickly replaced by BSD-licensed Toybox everywhere for that exact reason.

Copyleft licenses (like the Gnu General Public License) mandate that all derivative works remain free.

This is false. It’s perfectly legal to take GPL-licensed work, modify it, and sell it. As long as the work itself does not reach the general public, you don’t need to release it’s source code to the public (e.g. your work for the military, you take money for your work, and provide source code to them, but not release it publicly).

It’s made worse by the fact C++11 made a lot of solutions for the deep problems in the language. As the C++ tradition dictates, the problems themselves are carefully preserved for backward compatibility, the solutions are like a whole different language.

And Lisp is small - the first Google result provides a Lisp interpreter in 117 lines of Python code.

C++ is OVERWHELMINGLY SUPERIOR, if you ask any professional C++ developer.

Samyang noodles are okay, I just add a bit more water than specified on the packaging.

Beware that you need to boil the noodles for 3 minutes, they are not instant.

TIL someone ported the collection of classic Linux screen savers to Android.

I’m in the same boat, I have (or rather had) published a few Android games which I don’t have time to update anymore, and Google had been unpublishing them one by one.

The first one is a fancy CPU warmer. The second one will play loud noise through your headphones, and setsid will make sure you can’t stop it with Ctrl-C.

There was a thread about console commands seen in movies or TV, when the actors need to do some ‘hacking’ on camera. And the most common one was just installing updates to your Linux distribution of choice.

My go-to joke is

cat /dev/urandom | pxz | grep haxx

Or if you want to be nasty

setsid sh -c 'cat /dev/urandom | pacat -p'

As for puns, less command does the same thing as more on MS-DOS.

No luck eh.

Electric bike is superior in every way except for one - people in regular cars pretty much ignore bikes on the road where I live. If you don’t want to be randomly run over, you need to drive something car-shaped. Our cities are not bike-friendly, squeezing passenger cars out of the city roads using taxes and tolls could probably solve this, like in Amsterdam.

tar c file | pxz > file.tar.xz

Play Store link?

Cat piss does not smell particularly bad to me.

Maybe it’s toxoplasma speaking.

I’ve used FreeBSD for about a month in 2005, and still can’t stop talking about it.
