We have fucked up computers, and phones, and anything tech really, because we are not afraid to experiment. Sometimes experiments are messy.
There’s an ancient idiom that explains this perfectly:
We’re also very good at working around, repairing, and recovering from, technology that routinely fucks up.
After the third or fourth time of diving into the browser console, debugging whatever web form was giving my wife headaches, I started to realize how bad things really are out there. I’ve even had to hack in form values, or correct misbehaving client-side validation, using live JavaScript and/or HTML edits. IT folks really do live in a different parallel universe online.
i’m not very computer i’m just ok computer
Very true.
We may know 100s of ways things don’t work, and how to transition between most of them.
Most people may only know dozens of ways.
There are infinite ways things can break. So no, we can’t move the needle.
For me, it depends a lot on what I’m doing with my computer. I’ve had phases where the tinkering with the OS was kind of the main goal and I’d often have really broken setups.
These days, I do want to use my computer for other thingstoo, and I do get annoyed when I can’t, so I put my Very Computerness to use for making it a pretty stable setup.Hey kid! Help computer.
yep
It’s a good thing that little black line protected me from seeing the word “fucking” on the internet.
Wait a minute… FUCK! 🤪
but not in that format ☝️☝️☝️ let’s take down some of those hilights, bring up the gamma, give it a nice re-hue. ah. much better

I may have found ways to make computers not work but in the process I usually find ways to make them work again. Its a cycle
Computer works -> I get bored -> I mess around -> it no longer works -> I fix it -> repeat
i’m not sure it’s even possible to learn computer without make computer not work, even memorizing the entire arch wiki isn’t going to help that much unless you’ve actually had experience with the things it talks about
literally real. windows refresh and sandbox or atomic system components have been huge for me for this reason as it encourages me to mess around.
In the words of Tommy Edison, “I have not failed, I have simply found 1000 ways to make a computer not work.”
I just broke my backup server upgrading to trixie, so I got to see if my backup of my backup server was backed up properly (it wasn’t) and if I could bring it back up again (I could).
There’s zero reason I should be updating this device. It does two things, offers an NFS share to a server, then creates incremental backups of what that server puts on there.
fuck
You can’t say fuck on the internet.
Just look at the meme, even that daren’t say fucking!!
Censor your comment at once or I’ll cunting cry tears of blood!there’s always five :P
I do like the hentai style 1px censor bar on this one
yeah my guess is it was done (not by me of course) intentionally to throw off optical character recognition but still be human readable
kind of like hentai so yeah the comparison is apt lol
eighth comment like this 🤪 (image was taken from a site that regularly censors based on OCR and i didn’t care to go to elon musks nazi website to get the og sorry; also no hate i just think the pattern is funny) can we get to ten!
