This is funnier because in my country, we actually use bidet showers instead of toilet paper.

Apologies for the late reply, my internet went down for a day. Anyway, before I was using a distro called Antergos (basically Arch with an easy installer and a few custom packages). When it was discontinued, some people waited for what is basically its spiritual successor, EndeavourOS. Others switched to using vanilla Arch. But I decided to use Void after some research, as to me it was Arch but with a few advantages to my favour:

• At the time, Void had an installation wizard while Arch didn’t (you manually installed it by following the wiki, basically). Now, archinstall exists, I guess.
• It’s still rolling-release, so you can update whenever you want easily, but at the same time not bleeding-edge, so packages don’t break as easily.
• Unlike most Linux distros, it uses runit as the init system instead of systemd. I’m no rabid systemd hater, but you gotta admit that runit is just easier to learn how to use.
• And finally, by adopting a non-major distro, I just wanted to promote Linux apps being compatible with as many distros as possible, and not just either Debian, Fedora, or Arch (or whatever derivatives exist thereof).

(Also, happy cake day! I didn’t know Lemmy had cake days until now hehe :)

Your comment doesn’t make sense, unless it’s just some really dry ironic humour

Hey! 🙋 I’m an autistic person (diagnosed at age 3). I grew up using Mac computers mostly, because my father preferred them for his work. Although I would encounter Windows a lot when I was at school as well. However, I didn’t really know how to use Windows until I started seeing videos on YouTube about it (such as this one). This was when I was around 10. So I started experimenting with different editions of it (Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows XP, etc.) via a pirated copy of Parallels Desktop. I also found out about Linux, and toyed with Ubuntu with a bit via Parallels. I found it fun, and thus considered the idea of installing Linux properly onto my Macbook. Unfortunately, the trackpad support wasn’t there. So for my 11th birthday, I asked for a “Windows laptop”, and immediately after getting it, I set up some dual-boot with Windows 10 and some fork of Ubuntu called “Pinguy OS”. (I spent way too much time looking at DistroWatch.) Then, I distro-hopped for a bit until I finally settled on Void Linux when I was 13. I’m now 18 and am running Void full-time on my current laptop, it doesn’t even have a Windows partition. :)

They were undoubtedly cheaper before, but with a low-budget airline like airblue, at least, a round-trip ticket between Lahore and Dubai, for a single adult, economy class, can cost 85,216 PKR or 306.23 USD.

Choosing a more expensive airline like Emirates bumps it up to 138,028 PKR or 496.01 USD.

To be fair, my father at least would often buy stuff while he had another reason to be there (i.e. for business).

A bit of an unwarranted answer, but many richer Pakistanis go there to buy stuff that isn’t easily available back home. Hence, they become cash cows for the ginormous malls over there (seriously. If you think American malls are big, you haven’t been to Dubai). It’s basically the closest foreign city we have direct flights to, due to our sanctions and all with India. For example, I got my Nintendo 3DS, and later the phone that I’m currently using (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra), from malls in Dubai.

We Pakistanis don’t have much of a choice… We often have to stop at Dubai or Doha if we want to fly to Europe or the Americas. (Although occasionally, you can choose Turkish Airlines and stop at Istanbul instead.) Though to be fair, Pakistan can’t be much more friendly than Dubai to a lotta people…

lemmy.ml is technically the most official instance, because it’s run by the developers themselves.

this is a pretty old copypasta btw I’ve seen it countless times

I’m from Pakistan, which should be even more similar to India than Turkey is.

Could make it open in a new tab, at least.

I’ve seen this pic multiple times on the internet, but had no idea it was an actual WW2 poster until today :/

Definitely not her

A bit before I started questioning religion. 9-10 years old?

I don’t think that’s her, but Anastasi did recently make a video called “What’s Wrong with the New Nvidia GPU”. Maybe I could look for different videos on the same topic.

Nope, the YouTuber I’m looking for is significantly younger and isn’t openly trans. Thanks for the recommendation anyway!

I’m pretty happy using GNOME on my laptop. Never tried KDE in my ~6 years of using Linux, maybe if I install it onto another device I will.
