Dude named himself after an OS and then misspelled it.

I think he originally wanted to call it Freax, not Linux.

Gah so many people have reposted this that when I try on duckduckgo, it just shows me lemmy posts of this meme. I can't even see the linux github page

I bet there's a language somewhere that sums that whole sentence up in one word.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (4 children)

My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

Weltschmerz

Kaltdunkeltrauerverzweifelungsvollraum. However, even Germans would not combine all this and say something like ein kalter, dunkler Raum voll Trauer und Verzweiflung.

Fight me: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

Yes this is one word and it makes sense.

"Beef labeling monitoring task transfer act"

Excuse me??

I did not ask you to translate it! Now you openended Pandoras Büchse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Using compound words is just cheating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If it's just a compound noun it's no fun, because it's just a literal translation of those same words except there's no spaces between the individual words in German

Most likely german: kalterdunklerOrtvollerTraurigkeitundVerzweiflung

I'd really like to see how Germans manage their college essays with minimum word count.

In Brazil exists a son of a removed with a company named "Nude" and they are so godlike with their SEO that they are the first result(in Brazil only), all others results are porn sites and the motherfucker is not even a sponsored result. Linus has some competition for the title "Master of SEO".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

removed

Did you do that or admins?

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

Just for clarity my reply was not deleted by admins, I deleted a duplicate because of a bug and both replies got deleted.

Anyway, probably admins removed the cursing.

Is it possible to turn it off? I feel more censorship here in lemmy than reddit. Lemmy.world had some power tripping mods. Joined lemm.ee. I don't like curse words to be removed. If someone is personally attacking someone then can understand blocking him/her.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The account is from lemmy.ml, so they're the ones using the filter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Only instance admins can configure it (including turning it off for all their users).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, strange that he use b* as example but the only word removed was the b*. But ok, I don't mind.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't curse? Motherfucker (testing)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Some puritan servers automatically censor certain swear words. If a user of one of those instances swear, the word is replaced with removed, if a user of another instance swears, only the puritan server users will see the word as censored, the rest will see the real word. The word for a female dog is one of those censored words for certain servers.

Even more reason for me to try self-hosting a Lemmy instance... I really need to get around to it some time lol

It's called being a Finn in winter.

Bro wtf even Brave Search displays this but only if you search without the quotes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Now if we google this, maximum search results we get from is mastodon. "sus"

Sad to see him use Google in 2023 but funny.

I ran the query on Kagi also and it does show the same thing at the top, but also 33 other results from lots of different sites discussing it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Kagi is akin to using Google in incognito mode though... They use Google's index for the most part and that's why you get the exact same results.

If you want to not use Google, your choices are effectively Bing (and others which use its indices such as DuckDuckGo, Ecosia etc.), Baidu, Yahoo, Yandex or Qwant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

How about Brave Search? It has its own index, and the results are definitely better than Bing and Bing-based search engines. I still find Google's results to be better, but it's the best privacy-friendly search engine right now.

[–] spez 1 points 1 year ago

Hell,for more programming/technical topics I find brave search to even be better than google!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He was happy to use Google+ his primary social media, why wouldn't he use Google

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That full quote is so fitting. I have been trying to get hyprland working on NixOS and now I am just sad and frustrated
