Pros of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.

Cons of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.

Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.

“Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread

“Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.

Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology

that's good, but real computer programming is more like

Error: file "PeanutButter.h" not found

Exit status code 1

That's because you're a noob and forgot to add this at the end:

If work == false:
      fix(yourself)

What language is this capital I If acceptable and how do I purge it from my brain.

[-] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

English and you purge it by invading Britain and forcing them to speak a cool language like Italian or Spanish

Exit status code -3736228494

In a Java program that isn't supposed to be able to break like that

"Yes. Of course I have one exit status code. How do I look at it?"

I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8

I thought it was hilarious. But you're totally right, in the comments everyone's talking about how they're programming class had that same thing :)

Modern operating systems question you and ask you to input —no-preserve-root, unfortunately

See also, the video where linus tech tips tries linux and totally borks his install after ignoring all warnings that what he's doing is probably not what he wants to do
