You missed the point - they default to a dotfolder where all of those dotfiles go. You likely already have one! The default is there to allow users and OS maintainers to not worry about it. It still goes in your home directory, but at lea

I don't think you should take anything you read on /g/ seriously, much less anything about shills. That board (like most on 4chan) is really needlessly toxic, and prolonged exposure can lead you to believe that everyone&#x27

Not entirely on topic, but Marriott seems to be dealing with some internal phone abuse issues as well - calls going directly to hotel rooms (bypassing the front desk) and asking for card details to fix broken incidentals records. I got a c

Would you like to know what I'm not doing? I'm not spending $700 on a locked-down linux tablet with 4GB RAM. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever be at a point where a tablet is worth more to me than 440 double cheeseburg

Similar situation, though my girlfriend has borderline. It's a struggle, one that I occasionally wonder about the worthiness of, but I try to help her through her problems. I just wish I knew how to address the root issue. Two years

Perhaps I am seeing patterns where there are none, but I've seen that articles with the wrong kind of controversial potential sometimes get bumped back. I'm having difficulty putting it to words, though, and can't produce an

Maybe we shouldn't use avionics (the article we're commenting on is about a buffer overflow bug in new Boeing planes that could drop them from the sky) engineers to train the auto industry on system security
