Virtual environment? Taking notes of what they did?

Anyway, tell them it’s okay you experiment and mess things up. Show them how to backup their important work. Then walk them through inevitably having to reinstall their distro.

They’ll learn that you can just keep moving forward, fixing and learning as you go.

I love your comparison of where issues come from on Linux vs Windows. That’s so apt (heh). Even after 10 years of using Linux, I never really thought of it that way.

It’s frustrating when any computer doesn’t do what you want; but you’re right, it’s infuriating when the problems are engineered to manipulate you into parting with your money, attention, or privacy.

You’re welcome.

Thanks!

Well said.

Actually come to think of it, even more amazing in the age of smart phones, when it’s possible to easily verify to numbers you’re reciting.

This reminds me of a friend who said “I like to think of dividing by zero as giving zero instead of infinity, because it means you can keep doing math on it” and I just thought that was so pure.

Shit like this makes me realise why people become mathematicians. You just play around with numbers and find funny facts about them.

I thought reaction videos were passé. Is this a short video thing I’m too old to get targeted by?

Maybe if you escaped the command like \\type sudo?

Also double check that sudo is the right command, by doing which sudo. Something I just learned to be paranoid of in this thread.

Unless which is also compromised, my god…

Just don’t forget to check if your IP has changed if ssh suddenly starts timing out with no error indication no matter what you do and oh god what is actually wrong

I think there’s a way to setup an alert for this.

Oh that’s dastardly
