This meme shows up here way too often...like every other day....

Obviously there’s a need for people in this comm to uninstall their boot loaders, and a frustration that Windows won’t let them.
- They can take my footguns when they pry them from my cold dead hands.
And it's not even that great of a flex too. "My OS lets me sudo commands that will break my system." Great, so your system lets you accidentally break the system with a fat finger mistake? Why would I want that?
Windows is geared towards a general audience that includes some of the dumbest and least technically literate people to ever walk the earth. And they have to support it. Of course they're going to limit your permissions.
- Using that argument as a basis for why it’s ok for MS to disallow uninstallation of Edge: 🤡
Noticed that too, my memory is absolute godshit and even I remember having seen it at least twice now in the current recency.
We are really mimicking Reddit.

In case anyone is wondering, that pile of symbols means true in brainfuck

I wasn't wondering. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Wait, all of that for just a Boolean true value or is that some sort of logical expression?
- Maybe it’s the string “true”?
Not true, it outputs "Wipp" to the console
That it doesn't mean "true" can be immediately seen by the fact there's a .. in there, which outputs the same character twice

Me: "I'm going to change Python3 default to >3.7" Ubuntu: scream in exceptions

pyenv and chill. Practical default it in your shells without messing with what installed packages expect.
Yeah, but still those packages should probably not be calling the generic python3 if they need a specific version of python. If they depend on system installed pip packages, there's got to be a better solution.
- I'm more of an asdf guy myself.
Hmmm, not having a problem with that even though I have it at 3.10
- I must've been doing something wrong, symlinked Python3 to 3.7 and apt ecosystem breaks on me in 18&22 LTS
Symlinks all day
- eselect python
@AmityNoceda @AbsolutelyNotCats
This is why I love NixOS so much.
- Oh I was wondering why some people mentions when replying. Now with double mentions i found you are from mastodon

Wait... Microsoft is still pretending that having their web browser installed is vital to the continued operation of their OS?

Mac does the same. You can't remove Safari and you can't sudo chmod 0 /Applications/Safari.app
Ask me how I know 😒
- how do you know?
Well, in their eyes, it seems vital to be sending me adverts as notifications, I guess it's probably also vital that those adverts have a browser to link through
Did we not teach them a lesson about this in the 90s?
- The lesson they learned in the 90s is that you can drag a trial out long enough to get a favorable administration in office to give you a slap on the wrist.
- Meh, weak argument in my opinion. If one happens to run into the problem of having no browser, there are other ways around it. E.g., using your smartphone to download the installer of a browser and transfer it to the PC. People, who run into situations where they could end up with no browser are usually those who are overwhelmed with the internet anyways.
  That they don't make it easy to uninstall edge, while it's easy to fuck up your system in other ways, clearly shows that it's not about helping DAUs, but about forcing edge onto users.
- Unlike Linux, Windows tries to accommodate any kind of user.
  And how it tries to accomodate user that does not want any browser?
- If there was a simple checkbox to uninstall Edge... checking it back on would just install it. That's how the rest of Windows system features work.
Isn't it required for all networked services they provide via windows (for example windows update, network connectivity checks, etc)
- If you buy that.
- Browsers use network functions. Any program can use network functions, no need for a browser.
Can you install applications in any other way on windows?
- Yes, Windows has an app store, and a CLI package manager called Winget now.
  But the Windows app store is garbage and Windows users are pathologically afraid of the terminal so...effectively no.
- You can just run the portable version without installing.
- Yes, you can install Chocolatey without using a browser.

that brainfuck code gives a memory error :(

No way you actually tested it. It would be impressive
This is the correct piece of ~~shit~~ code, somehow my lemmy app didn't write it well in the title

+[--->++<]>+.++[-->+++++<]>++.
- Sure, blame the IDE.
- Online compiler said it was W

How TF can a brainfuck program throw a memory error? It operates on an infinite array of bytes that wrap around on overflow.
This website prints "Wipp" for the code in the title.

The first thing I do on every install. Delete the bootloader and all the bloat files in /. Especially those goddamned .files

Bailing out, you are on your own now. Good luck.

I swear I've seen this meme like 10 times

Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I'm at 50+ right now.

Please, have mercy, I have seen this meme sooo many times already...

C is the same. Free to do whatever you want until the system stops you. Yet people hate coding in C for some reason, as there isn't enough hand holding.

Where C stop, continue in Assembly!
- Where Assembly stops, run an opcode fuzzer to locate undocumented instructions.
- return to monk and code in machine code

I recognized it as Brainfuck, but assumed it was going to be a fork bomb for some reason.

You can't fork in brainfuck 🤣 but I was thinking it was going to be a non-terminating program.
(I ran it and it actually outputs Wipp ... which I'm now left wondering the meaning of.)
- Good to know, I've never done enough with Brainfuck to know anything more than basic info about it.
I misidentified it as regex somehow.
I'm pretty sure it's Kricketunes cry in text format

Uninstalling the bootloader will brick your device.
Are you sure you want to uninstall the bootloader?

Society has stopped to extremes.

One of my favorite passtimes is breaking Linux and then fixing it.

Facts.

Wanna fuck up your os without knowing it? Sure

I certainly know that I am fucking up my os. I'm just not sure how yet.
Most linux distros will warn you extensively before you can do something like unmount the disk you're on or dulete your bootloader. You will know when you are about to wreck your system.
- sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
  It won’t warn you about that
