Low Quality FactsSitting at my desk chugging Tylenol until I know how to use Linux.
Zé Andarilho@lowqualityfacts i can confirm it works
mcSlibinas@Ze_Andarilho @lowqualityfacts also it the fastest way! Very effective!

Trout Mask Replicant@lowqualityfacts You'll need something more debilitating than Tylenol for that. Especially for Arch Linux
@zimmatore @lowqualityfacts Tylenol is for Linux Mint. Arch is just more serious.
@mcSlibinas @lowqualityfacts I'm bi-polar. I use Debian and Fedora.
@zimmatore @lowqualityfacts uh, life is so unpredictable! Does it have some perks? I can try Fedora too 🤔
@mcSlibinas @lowqualityfacts I like Fedora. If you're looking for cutting-edge, that's the way to go. I don't really have a need for cutting edge, other than curiosity. Debian is reliable and stable. If you try Fedora, give one of the Atomic Spins a go. I use Silverblue. Works great.

@lowqualityfacts I both hate and enjoy this post to extreme degrees
Daniel M. Reck@lowqualityfacts Okay...let's draw a line on that.
Large doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be DEADLY or cause serious liver damage.
In some parts of the world, acetaminophen must be sold in blister packs, specifically to slow down somebody who might try to chug a bunch of pills in a suicide attempt.
As a licensed health professional, I plead with you to take care when joking about this Tylenol situation. We do not need to amplify misinformation.

David H. McCoyYeah, I’m going on a limb and say that nobody’s chugging Tylenol here.
Aim that arrow at the true villains of the story.
@davidhmccoy I hope no one is chugging Tylenol *here.*
Elsewhere, sadly, over-the-counter painkillers are often used in suicide, with a study in "Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety," finding that acetaminophen (Tylenol) accounted for 65% of suicide deaths involving OTC drugs.
Some people drink and drive. If your move is to post a study about such a thing when someone posts a joke a drinking, that seems like overkill to me.
Again, seems like you should be targeting the faux autism people instead of “Low Quality Facts” obvious satire guy.

I seem to recall that it's a particularly horrific way to go. Not the peaceful falling asleep that people might be imagining.
QuasitFrom what I've heard from health professionals, an overdose of acetaminophen is probably one of the worst imaginable ways to die. And isn't it the number one over-the-counter killer in America?
Ainsley LowbeerMy friend Eric dropped a monitor on his foot, took 10 Tylenol and washed them down with scotch and was dead a week later.
Isaac Ji Kuo@lowqualityfacts I guess you aren't ready for Linux yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
0x575446, Fifth Columnist@lowqualityfacts You need to sudo chug Tylenol.
Arne Visscher@lowqualityfacts Note that the maximum dose for paracetamol/acetaminophen is 4grams / 24h at 1 gram at a time with at least 4 hours in between doses.
Michael Vilain@zomgwtfbbqkewl @lowqualityfacts I read somewhere the LD50 was 2g in a 24h period. Guess that reporter got the stats wrong.
@mvilain @lowqualityfacts This is somewhat paraphrased but straight of the NHS website. Dutch GP websites list similar info.
Also I've been on 4 grams a day for like 10 days when I broke my fibula :')

The truth is that Linux isn't really any harder than Windows. It's just that when you run into a problem with Windows you don't know how to handle, you probably know an expert who can help you out. Most of us don't know someone with that level of Linux expertise, so we're stuck solving the hard problems ourselves. If we're lucky enough to have a Linux expert on call, it can be really nice.

derptron@VATVSLPR @lowqualityfacts What would you pay one?
Say you had an expert on hand that could completely automate and secure all your systems exactly how you wanted and then maintain that...
What's that guy worth to you?
@crazyeddie @lowqualityfacts
For me personally, that isn't worth that much, because I already do an OK job of configuring, securing, backing up, etc. my personal system. For my employer, which has a substantial regulatory burden dealing with stuff like HIPAA, it's worth a lot.

@VATVSLPR @lowqualityfacts Small enough and desperate enough employer I might be able to help. I'm familiar with regulatory stuff, but haven't worked directly with HIPAA beyond stuff like not including personal id in test data :p You may be stuck with certain software suites also, as required just to interact with some regulatory agency.
Sounds like they'd have needs I can't meet but could always check it out :p
I am curious what someone would actually pay though for a personal technomage
@crazyeddie @lowqualityfacts
My employer already has a big IT department, so there's no way you're going to replace them.
I'm also not sure about the market for personal technomage. Where I think there probably is a market right now is in breathing new life into computers left out of Windows 11. A package that includes Linux installation, basic training on how to run Linux, and a few tech support calls could be a good seller.
Pontificus MaximusMost of the popular Linux distros have very active discussion forum, wiki etc., so you will find help, guides and other resources on-line. I highly recommend trying Linux!
@poseidon @lowqualityfacts
The forums are nice, though I miss the nicely formatted HOWTOs of yesteryear. I still think there's a difference between being able to find a solution with some digging online and being able to get help from a friend or relative. There's also a huge benefit to being able to get commercial support, which is much easier to find for Windows.

Sure, sometimes you can solve your own problems by googling them, and that's a great way to become more proficient. But a lot of people just want to use their computers, and even people who want to learn will sometimes be in a hurry and want things fixed immediately. It's hugely reassuring to know help is readily available when you need it, especially when so much of your life is on your computer. That reassurance is critical for an OS being mainstream.

@VATVSLPR
My son is both a Windows expert and a Linux expert. He has been doing computer stuff since he was 10 years old. He usually has the answer if there is something I can't figure out. I ask him and he gives me the answer and then on we go.
I haven't touched WindBlows in years now. Have no desire to go back to that nonsense. Linux really is simple and Windoze is bloatware...
I'm using Fedora now. Major updates twice a year. A few glitches here and there but nothing too bad.
@VATVSLPR @lowqualityfacts I almost never have had to do things in the power shell in windows. I have to do that all the time for linux. Windows is easier unless you are doing things like networks and servers
@anubis2814 @lowqualityfacts
That doesn't really match my experience. On my home Linux system, I rarely need to do anything from the command line. I sometimes use it because I prefer the command line method for a specific problem- I get a better idea of what's going on with package installation from the command line than the software installation GUI, for instance- but that's personal preference, not necessity. I think the last thing I did that had to be from the command line was very obscure: filling a disk with random data before creating an encrypted file system as a paranoid security measure.

@lowqualityfacts "There is a pain between my ears."
otheorange_tag@lowqualityfacts IKR?! Its like chugging tylenol gives us superpowers over normies!
Third spruce tree on the leftI had this weird thought that acetominophin induced autism was going to become how we get Guild Spacers.
Summit, New Jersey is the key! The Tylenol must flow!
Paul@lowqualityfacts as a side effect, you’re going to get really into trains
MrCopilot@lowqualityfacts Its a cocktail, you also have to have a frightening baseline of caffeine intake. Your source may vary.

@lowqualityfacts no no, tylenol only gives you autism if used during *pregnancy*
if you wanna get autism *after* you're born you gotta get the MMR vaccine. be sure to ask for the one with the bill gates microchip.
yeah there's now permanently going to be a part of your brain that runs Windows CE. not much we can do about that. that's what we get for letting bill gates design the microchip but it will give you autism no doubt about that
Sebastian Crane 🏳️⚧️@AVincentInSpace @lowqualityfacts I replaced my microchip's Windows OS with Linux a decade ago. It wasn't easy, but it was the best decision I ever made! Now I try to help everyone get FOSS running on their autism microchips.
@seabass @lowqualityfacts how'd you get all the drivers for the brain implant working on linux? and how far along is the FOSS reimplementation of the autism system software? or is that kinda just a "there's major functionality still missing, but we're figuring it out as we go" type of deal atm

Tristan Colgate-McFarlane@lowqualityfacts I've been in IT for over 30 years, and if that time has taught it anything, it's that if anything, autism causes linux.
Heliograph@lowqualityfacts 😆 this is hilarious
Yaoi Box Balloon@lowqualityfacts Classic misdirection. Ibuprofen is where the party is at.
