Welcome to /tech/ THE RULES: 1. Please spoiler all porn and gore 2. Talk about something actually related to /tech/nology 3. Have fun! Required reading http://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Beginner Info If you would like to try out GNU/Linux because of https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html, you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine (preferably using KVM or Oracle VirtualBox for newfriends). 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything (keep in mind that the performance of live distros might be very different than from distro that was booted from your HDD, as most distros are loaded in RAM and don't include the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs or up-to-date Mesa libraries in their isos). 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows (make sure to install Windows first, as it can "replace" GRUB or other UNIX bootloaders, and troubleshooting of Windows replacing your bootloader of choice might be painful for people that just started learning about the Linux kernel) 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux (you really shouldn't do this, if you don't know what you're putting yourself into, see: https://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html).

Seems like suddenly we're not allowed to talk about anything but memes and lolcow drama. Is this what image boards are for anymore? Is there nowhere one can JUST BE COMFY AND REAL, without having to embroil themselves in venomacidic middle-school popularity contests like Big Social? Is there nowhere online not full of either normalfaggots and normgroids and their niggerworship and troondicksucking and homosacredcows where roastiefoids can do no wrong and brainless consoomer-cattledom, OR the even worse retardautismal alternative: socially dysfunctional emotionally undisciplined mentally handicapped unironic politislop obsessors keyboard warrior transnazi cowardly bitches never shutting the fuck up about da j00z (but desert tribemonkey yeshua isnt a ded kike onna stick, somehow he doesnt count, herp durr; leta ignore all the Bible like no swearing etc by only focus on Leviticus gaybashing drooling donkey diarrhea, lets larp that wypipo wuz kangz DA tr00 israelites lelelele) and crying about much degeneresseh despite spamming drawn naked Japanese people and lolicon ecchi with somehow doesnt count as cheese pizza ("drawings aren't people hurr durr" "well then photos and videos aren't people either derpderp; pedoadjacents are so fucking cute in their mental gymnastics, their one and only exercise roflcoptar") unironic bootlicking collectivist hiveminded wannabe tyrants who never intend to follow the same arbitrary and capricious might makes right rules and laws they crave imposing upon everyone else because theyr e frightened little girls who need a sweaty leather daddy to bark orders at them their whole life (not gay at all lmao) due to extreme terror and dread of having to make your own decisions in life because youre a scare whimpering sniveling fagcunt who can't handle freedom and self-determination and anything that isnt bootlicking authority simping groupthink addiction is "lolbert" and by the way why aren't you wearing your mask antivaxxer? Is there anywhere in the whole wide world, not just online, where you can just be comfy and real without having to obey antiwhite judencommies wearing dangerhair and problemglasses and if youre even slightly right of Marx/Mao/Lenin/Stalin youre banhammered for hatespeech? Anywhere at all i can speak gamer words and its not a big deal or even a thing at all? Anyplace left that isnt an insular anticulture antisociety anticivilization of lobotomized cockroach farts with downs syndrome and alzheimers? Must I give up on communicating with other humans entirely? Must I surrender to complete hikki isolation because there is no longer a place for me to just be myself like image boards and other "geek" communities used to be before Second September and The Great Awokening? And you wonder why anonymous culture is dead, going over the top toxic intentionally Coldsteel edgelord niggetry  in terror or le normiez until you push out all the good posters too, until all that is left is ASP malignant narcissistic spergerkwayne snobelitist shitpeople at the very bottom of social value and negative charisma contributing nothing but negativity and being a waste of space. Shitpeople like you. Good job.

ded bord, but will ask anyway: Having trouble with an alias to auto-convert all webp's (into the folder I toss all my saved images into before manually moving them, if I ever do) into png's followed by deleting the original webp's: 'cd ~/Pictures/Memes/ && mogrify -format png *.webp && find . -name *.webp -type f -delete && cd ~' It USED to work, but for no discernible reason (don't remember exactly when this started) it no longer deletes the old webp's. It instead throws up errors like: >find: paths must precede expression: ?>`Screenshot_20251206-094014.webp' >find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-name'? Too tech illiterate to know how to proceed from here. Should I be using something other than find?

Once upon a time you could easily only load a page and not the frame it's a part of. So easy, just a right-click. But now it's impossible to do a simple thing. Nothing in a traditional search engine tells me how to do it with modern browsers (of course, they're useless for finding information anymore) and my usually reliable method of using a chat AI... didn't work this time. I hate the modern Web, I hate modern Internet/computers/phones/digital/analog, I hate the antichrist.

Linus Torvalds was a massive superfaggot. He stole code from SCO and he got (((Richard Stallman))) to write a compiler for him.
