I’ve only done it the “manual” way but I don’t think the script was even a thing the last time I installed Arch, which must have been close to 15 years ago now.

Oh it’s not quite as “from scratch” as some people make it out to be. It definitely can be more work than most distros, but mostly it’s pretty straightforward and you generally just follow some wiki guide or another when picking “components” to install and I think nowadays you can use prebuilt binaries too (I haven’t used Arch in a good while.) There’s really not all that many moving parts, most of them are sort of a package deal – if you want to use X, you have to install Y and Z. It really is more like building a PC from parts.

Now, if you actually want to build a Linux system from scratch, there’s the very surprisingly named Linux From Scratch project

Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

Must be a day that ends in Y

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

Unfortunately no

The Phase II clinical trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of Incel administered intravenously

Mainlining incel, damn that doesn’t sound great at all

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

We’ve known about the dangers of overusing antibiotics for decades now, and it’s become obvious that this is yet another case where we won’t do near enough to combat a problem until it’s already much too late and practically disastrous

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

This is pretty much one of the sanest things calkearns has drawn, too

Some plans less so than others.

Also, I like this framing of users as the enemy. Matches my experience, really.

Wasn’t expecting a fucking rainforest

Makes sense that it’s not a Tesla.

Looks like your Lemmy frontend / client turned the community mention into a link so it just took me to lemmy.world, but here’s one that’s not a link: !political_weirdos@lemmy.world

It just irritates the fuck out of me when people write an obvious swear word but either omit letters or “censor” them with eg. *, like that somehow makes it not swearing even though EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THAT FUCKING WORD IS.

Either don’t swear if you think it’s so bad, or just write the naughty words out instead of pretending “f*ck” isn’t a bad evil naughty word because you hid one letter like a fucking mentally deficient child.

FUCK.

Special danger kitties 😻

if they needed to write a check they’d go down to the pub and the pub owner would vouch for their credit

Well that was an unexpectedly hilarious turn

Interesting that they released Yashin. I wonder if he got asylum from somewhere or if he’s staying in Russia? Neither NPR or The Guardian mentioned anything and I haven’t done any searching yet.

Also, I had no idea who Whelan is so I went and read his wiki page – apparently he’s a former US Marine who got arrested in Russia over charges of espionage. Based on the article I was left with the impression that the charges seem like bullshit, but his FSB buddy thing was, well… pretty weird if nothing else. Apparently he was in Russia for the wedding of a friend who’s also a former Marine, and it somehow struck me as funny that jarheads seem to like Russia

Oh look it’s the short incel who is convinced that clubs ban short men.

Dude, your problem still isn’t your height. Your problem is that you’re a bitter and unpleasant husk of a person, who would rather blame everything and everyone else than actually do some self reflection, because that’d mean facing up to the fact that you’re the problem – feeeeeeeeeeeemales don’t avoid you because you’re short, they avoid you because you’re you.
