Is an init script just a very British version or systemd? As in “it’s systemd, init?”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something that most people normally do that you find weird?
19·5 days agoI’m English the word “sorry” doesn’t mean “I take responsibility for this event or action” it means “I am expressing regret that the event or action has occured,” and normally comes with the condition of responsibility, but it’s really just a way of expressing empathy or regret for the event. “I’m sorry this has happened” is not the same thing as “I am sorry I did this”
Just a quirk of our language. In Spanish*, “I’m sorry” is translated to “lo siento” and literally means something along the lines “I feel” or “I feel this,” an expression of literal empathy for the occurrence. You can also say “perdon” which translates closer to pardon, as in pardon me. I don’t know the cultural context in Spanish speaking countries very well, but that one feels more like accepting responsibility, if one needs to be pardoned.
*I am not a Spanish speaker. Take this with a dose of salt your cardiologist would be quite upset about.

3·9 days agoI won’t have enough money to order one for another 2 or 3 weeks at least, potentially 2 months from now. Any idea if they’ll have them at that point, or is this a limited time thing? I’m not the most up to date with these things, but I have decided I want one for when I dock the deck

I promise I’ll learn about dinosaurs one day, but in the meantime I’m too invested in my anime porn
Ahhhhh. I am not an aficionado of such things, and was unfamiliar
Peter? Peter help!
The jar video never traumatized me. Disgusted me, sure. Never traumatized me.
But death of a favored character in a fantasy novel? Never recovered. I still occasionally have moments where I feel like crying over the death of a particular character.

80·21 days agoOne of my favorite things in life is using Latin or Greek plurals on words that it makes absolutely no sense to use them on, and do not follow the rules of any language naturally involved.
I had steak and potati for dinner last night. Just one steak, though, I cannot eat multiple steakices
Nah, no lady bugs or whatever the Japanese beetle that has replaced them in the US is called in my home.
Lived in TN for since 09, and when those things find a way in it’s awful. They have crawled into my ears while sleeping (they bite, did you know? I didn’t. Ow.), they have eaten through window screens, chewed a hole in the drywall, and done general havoc. There was a mostly unused room where I found about 1000 or more of then hanging in a corner. The mass was so large I genuinely thought it was some kind of hornets nest or something.

2·25 days agoShe was dressed as Janeway, and made a reference to there being coffee in that nebula, but refer to a a refill shipment. And upon googling it to make sure I had it right, it was actually in 2015 that that happened and I just heard about it and assumed it was current. Samantha Cristoforetti was who said it

Read that as “sacred & curious” at first and I was deeply intrigued
I wish I were able to make a gif on my phone right now. You know the homer Simpson “mmmm, donuts” one?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To those who grew up in religious schools, what's the craziest thing you remember a teacher telling you?
28·1 month agoTwo stories:
My mom was in a religious school for a few years, and her craziest story was sex Ed, which was mandated in the state at the time. The entire class was “take this shoebox home.” Literally no other instructions. The shoebox contained a mirror and nothing else. It was 20 years later before she realized what the mirror was for, because she wasn’t informed it was a sex Ed class.
ETA: the school was mixed gender, the classes were not. Girls had separate classes from boys. The mirror was for standing over and seeing that you do, indeed, have a vagina, and then gaining absolutely other information
I was homeschooled, but not in a religious way. My mom ordered the books the state told her to order. When we got them they were fine, until we got to the science module and it told us how ancient humans and dinosaurs lived side by side. … My mom immediately ordered different books.
It depends on if this alligator is in ecstasy or agony, I cannot tell.
But the answer to either: anal
I personally don’t use twitter, and for what it’s worth, I also don’t really consider it a meme. I just meant that the twitter screenshots have been used as memes and in meme communities since around that time, per my own experiences
35 year old man, and I have not only never received flowers, I have also not once in my entire life ever considered that someone would give me flowers at any point in my life.






Ahh, yes. That makes total sense. British Spanglish coders. It was right in front of my face the whole time
