hey don't most docker containers run alpine linux

@arielmt there's a bit in flubber (1997) where weebo does this exaggerated waking up yawning routine but the internet is sorely lacking in weebo gifs

which is ironic since weebo invented reaction gifs

@jk Well, there's the "locate" command... But it has to have been installed, and it's indexer "updatedb" has to have run after being configured correctly, but make sure you are using the right docs, because there's also mlocate and slocate and plocate that do the same things but differently, and by the way if you're using cron then the config is in a different place than if you are using systemd timers and...

...and hell yes there are reasons people don't use Linux.

on my windows install i hit "ctrl-alt-E" and it opens the program Everything. i type filename and the result appears instantly

on linux i type "find . --type f filename" and the syntax is wrong. so i try "-type" and thats wrong. so i type "man find" and theres a wall of text about symbolic links and shit. so i go into google and type "linux find command syntax" and twelve pages of slop results come up. i click one and it slowly loads. theres a wall of text which is even worse than the manpage

i can remember places i've been to (or only seen in photos) decades ago, and navigate them successfully. i can describe images i saw once when i was a kid. but i have literally no 'verbal memory', i can't remember movie lines, or lyrics to any of my favorite songs, and when it comes to programming, and terminal commands? well. i've been using linux distros for almost 20 years and still, daily, look up things like "linux how to find files with extension". it is NOT a good operating system for me

how about i rip the spines out of every single "AI already won" motherfucker

i mean, Labour could probably use some
