I installed gentoo just for a neofetch screenshot to post on the desktop thread

did you not just use a VM?

I don't know a tenth (10th) of what the stuff posted here means. I don't know what libraries are, or queries, or really what a kernel does, or a script. I come here for normie stuff like advice and sometimes post a reply in disgust if I see someone like something I have heard panned before.

I prefer convenience and functionality over placebo freedom.

I use a mixture of proprietary and free software and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I consider free software to be an interesting methodology, not a moral stand.

examples user?

i really like manjaro

I stole confidential data and almost sold it to another defense contractor

I'm a man.

I'm too lazy to practice basic computer security.

I ditched Microsoft Windows. And now Microsoft are really nice to me. And I ignore them. And switch on my Linux computer. And ignore them even more and they are even nicer to me. I don't feel bad but they are using a lot of energy to be nice to me and Microsoft might regret it one day when they run out of juice.

I use Windows 10.
Thinking of going onto some form of Linux though because I like the look of some versions of it.

I run a business from a laptop and I don't back anything up anywhere else.

I'm a Microsoft guy, they've got some cool stuff.

i still have a galaxy S5

i wrote this and will likely never make it any better

I stream music and movies, play video games, use social media. I don't obsess over not being able to see the source code of a program I run. I turn off personalised ads and other data collection when possible, I don't give any personal information further than my name, phone number or country, I turn off unneccessary permissions for apps on my phone and I read privacy policies, so I am not neglectful of my privacy.

To be honest thats what I do as well.

Same. I've been a Mac and Linux guy in the past, but Microsoft really has the best platform right now. WSL was a brilliant move on their part.

Galaxy S3 here

>almost
go on....

a fucking huwhite male!!!!

how are they nice, email you all the time?

bold and chad move

I don't know what that says

I believe that creators of Java are subhuman scum, and the whole Java ecosystem is for making sweatshops to employ plentiful. easily replaceable sub 100 IQ coders, like slavs

i use google, microsoft and other similar botnets and i don't care.

I'm too lazy for backups

libraries are reusable code that are cross-shared between programs. For example a math library can provide math functions for any program that calls it. you break things up into libraries for cross-sharing, for dynamic loading (load the needed function only when needed) and also so that you don't have to bundle everything into one huge program file. In windows it's often in the form of dll files (dynamically linked libraries)

query is when you ask something from a program or a system. it's usually a term for a database search.
example: SELECT usernames FROM table roster WHERE registrationdate after 5/1/2019
in practice you have a nice web form where you click selections and enter values into boxes, but when you send it over to the server, behind the scenes it processes the values as queries in the database

a kernel provides the lowest, most basic functions of an operating system. it schedules processes, manages memory, and manages communications between processes. depending on what you include in the definition of kernel, it also passes messages between processes and hardware. obviously all these are very important, so a kernel has to be rock-stable because everything else in the OS relies on it.

a script is a series of human-readable text commands. it's not compiled code. compiled code is binary (hexadecimal, not human readable).

wow, thanks helpful fren, that really made me smile. hecking good explanations.

it might be outdated AF, whatever, at least i can take the battery out

I used a fully tweaked Gentoo laptop with tiling window managers and minimalist software for 4 years and didn't really have any major problems with it.
I switched to Arch and Gnome recently on a whim after trying it. Everything just werks and I don't have to spend hours configuring if I want to change something small.

>sometimes post a reply in disgust if I see someone like something I have heard panned before.
and this is how things like PHP or systemd get a bad reputation. one dude, or a small minority of people have a bone to pick with it, and then people start parroting that opinion. eventually it becomes widespread and people develop an instinctive negative reaction for reasons they can't verbalize other than "I heard it was bad". try not to do this unless you're consciously memeing.

I agree with this so much. Systemd is a mild annoyance if you have to rewrite some init scripts. But I'm not gonna change my entire operating system over this.

I use Atom simply because it feels comfy

>consciously memeing
worry not, it is clear I am being a snobby fag.

I use Arch Linux as my daily driver distro.

I don't know how to code, like at all.

That's not a sin. A sin would be using the distro Jow Forums wants you to use instead of what you want to use.

I use C# almost exclusively and I'm not ashamed at all.

I have a pop socket on my phone that I remove every night to use my wireless charging pad

I ironically shill shit I don't like so it gets a bad rep here

I own fruit computer and phone.
I buy my music on iTunes
I pay to Netflix and Microsoft Office subscription.

I forgot my Facebook account password and security key and I recovered my account with My real id photo. I sent to Facebook help.

I hate loonix people and fsf. I believe intellectual property is really important in digital world.

Mostly based but why bother buying music instead of just streaming it

>I buy my music on iTunes
Only sin there. Who buys digital music? It's not 2006 anymore.

Bc I have an iPod classic.

The real sin is in how flawless/easy it was for me to set Arch up...

I LARP to my tech friends as a software dev whereas I actually just enter data into spreadsheets and make pretty pivot tables for $176k per year. It takes me 2 hours of work a day, the rest is spent watching anime.
It feels lifeless as fuck I thought money was supposed to make you happy?

I literally ripped the CPU out of my VPCF1290X, and it was not a cheap laptop. Pins came out of the cpu.

RIP VPCF1290X.

Bro what is your job, and I do I break in to that?

I really liked the idea of the Windows 8 start screen and I'm sad it didn't catch on.

I use my pc almost all day yet use it for nothing productive. I'm wasting the people's electricity and bandwith. If I were to disappear, absolutely nothing of value would be lost.

i didn't install ganu+linos on my proprietary hardware

I still don't know how to organize beyond MVC

I only ever 'wrote' code using ctrl c and ctrl v from stackoverflow and github

I fucking hate vim

I can't into git

Id do the same

I have a 20tb NAS filled with HD and uhd pornography, think I need and 80tb setup

i only come here to shitpost and have only an above average understanding of technology
my greatest accomplishment technology wise is fixing a windows 10 bluescreen by just deleting the file (of unknown importance) that was causing the issue via the terminal

>bought an intel cpu
>with no hyperthreading
>installed it into unsupported motherboard with some duct tape
>flashed patched bios from some shady russian website
>installed mac os on it

Forgive me...
>I use the Gnome desktop environment and like it!

i learned bunch of stuff a few years back and never bothered to keep up with progress
doesnt matter though because work love what im doing because my managers are even further behind
all it will take is a few new employees with a bit of knowledge to blow me the fuck out and expose my lack of research

I'm wasting my talent and skills by being a volNEET.
I'm not getting any mentalbux, although I plan to try that in nearby future.

post benis

I use Gentoo on my work desktop, and Ubuntu on my home desktop.

I don't comment my code

what do you do with it ?

It's ok user, nobody knows everything. You can always ask, and google is always there.

btw how old are you?

The only account I use on my home desktop is Administrator and the password is jkl.

I downloaded arch using a youtube video that said to install gnome and am too lazy to switch it now

I've only bought pre-builts my whole life until around last year.

your real sin is being a /(v)gaymer

I'm too lazy/paranoid to sell my old GPU's until they lose most of their value.

MVC is still the best web server organization setup. Everything else is wankery.

I've only ever built my own machines but a couple years ago when I needed a new server I just bought a refurbished HP machine from Microcenter and everything was so convenient.

Last year I bought a laptop and I don't work on a desktop anymore.

I never cared much for hardware internals, but I never thought I'd go laptop-only for general use.

i use wps and i think its the best office alternative

Yikes!

could use some code review. like why the fuck do you have 2 booleans that are basically the inverse of eachother? (isFocused, isNotFocused). You're mixing code styles in checkSearchBox. What the fuck are t_ and end? Rename those to something that makes sense. You're not disposing of your old timer operations, so a double tap would fuck it up. What is the purpose of waitForDestroy?

fix ur PR before merging into dev

I can't code for shit.

33 and never have owned a smartphone because of mostly pathetic money reasons.

I almost bought a older ipad to spoof in pokemon go

i bought a macbook a while back and i like it

My preferred method of communication (besides in-person) is Facebook Messenger. I keep notifications silenced on my phone and unless I am expecting a business call or an SMS verification code, I don't answer the phone or even text messages. Just Messenger.

I still use tor to browse illegal onion sites. On a separate windows xp machine

I'm currently using Chrome

what, besides piracy and shitposting on the internet?

I still havent set up TempleOS on a VM and made offerings to God.

I'm a full-time PHP dev and I don't mind Javascript either

I don't care if people like different software or hardware than I like.
