YTA your bf needs some space and you should be more considerate of his hobbies. Maybe he needs this to be thriving in his life and tbh you should ask yourself if you're not already abusing him. If I were him that would be a massive red flag to me. Have you thought about cutting all relationships to appease him, that would be the least you can do

Lemmy: my new girlfriend caught me installing arch while wearing her thigh highs

Old/Dad Lemmy: my wife of 20 years caught me installing mint while eating her chocolate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Is chocolate worth eating if it doesn't have mint?

you aren't a true linux user if you haven't considered living your life alone at least a couple of times, and knew that you would be okay with it.

Speaking of linux and living alone, the times I’ve managed to solve tech problems without the internet, using only documentation, have always made me feel like a badass

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

it's some real shit.

It's better if you sleep on that shit, and realize what the solution is after the fact, only to have it work first try, that shits so good.

The only thing i've ever experienced that was better was unfucking some fucked wiring for a technical minecraft design, it's hard but god does it feel so fucking good.

When you go on the Internet, nine times out of ten all you'll get is idiots telling you "install arch noob" (they've been running linux for all of six months), "it works here" (different environment altogether), "you should redo all of your project with instead" (sure, let's spend three months redoing everything)...

So the documentation is typically a safer bet. Not always, but often.

we can be alone together, and stay a significant distance away from each other on account of the being alone part :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A new sign of loneliness is being a linux user(?) I get trashed by my friends for using Linux and none of them using. That's exactly the point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

the joke is that you have your priorities set straight.

No time for relationships when you could be learning about the kernel my friend.

also to be clear, it's not loneliness if you're content with being alone. Alone, and lonely, are two separate sides of the same coin. You can feel lonely in a room full of people, and you can be/feel alone when around nobody, without feeling lonely.

Lemmy: look at my new Linux

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Also Lemmy: look at things made of jeans!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Literally never seen any post about things made of jeans. What's wrong with my phone?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it was a one or two day thing, but it was glorious!

It feels like something that should be referencesd whenever possible to keep it alive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Keep pants on! Got it!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

What’s wrong with my phone?

It's not made out of jeans.

Also Lemmy: BEANS!

You can walk from the top of the stairs to my room in the basement and still be in my mother's house. Girlfriends cannot comprehend this distance.

JJ Jeans if you know what I mean

Linux is a god

Linux is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Linux a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, linux is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and linux vibe like that
