Them: "America is a Christian nation!"

Me: "Ok" *makes protest sign*

Them: "No, not like that!"

+++++
I usually don't like mixing the flag and scripture, but in this case I'll do it. You want Christian nationalism? Then read your bible and practice it.

This sign was a hit btw. A lot of people asked to take a photo of it. I like to think that I taught more of the Bible today outside the church than I have in a while.

@dashlion I’m usually just adding the word pi to my searches to get me more specific results, and it’s helpful. Whenever I come across a command I haven’t used before, I head off to the documentation to make sure I understand it

@colinstu update and dist-upgrade have been how I do it and it’s been pretty simple, albeit I’m ignorant what’s being done. Just trusting that if I don’t tell it to do anything too wild, I shouldn’t end up in too much trouble

Hello, because I need more complexity in my life (he doesn't), I've started setting up a #RaspberryPi as a media player on my TV. Which means I need to get a bit better at #linux, currently have never used it before.

I have a question about documentation and learning linux that maybe the fediverse can help with. When I need to add what the cool kids seem to call "A Repo" or perhaps "A Package", it will have a name like wf-panel-pi (true story, I'm being prompted to upgrade this right now).

I trust that I need to update this, and I'll do it, and I'd like to know a bit more about it so I can smugly tell other people what wf-panel-pi does. So I check the #gitHub page, and there's a readme file, cool.

The readme file has lots of content under headings like Install dependencies, Configure meson, Build, and Install. but nowhere does it say what the package actually does. I've had this experience multiple times, and I can see myself blundering into big crashes because I'm blindly installing packages without understanding them. The About section of the GitHub page reads as follows:

About
No description, website, or topics provided.

Am I going about teaching myself Linux the wrong way? Yes probably, I should do a proper intro course, and maybe I will have to. I was hoping to get by learning as I go, is that naïve of me? I don't want to understand Linux code in a technical sense, but more in a utility sense, what does this do and why do I need it?

@sortius powerful people get those things for just turning up. Think of all the actual heroes who get middle management instead

Here’s a glimmer of hope in #auspol, the awful mutual obligations part of our #welfare system looks set to get the boot.

“We are just 12 people here. We carry all the aid we can. We carry food, medicine, crutches. We carry prosthetics for amputated children. We carry water filters and everything else we could but, of course, it’s a drop in the ocean for the necessities of Gaza.”

@alice these two posts were also next to each other on my timeline and the relevance did strike me. Also a great train pun
