    it's more likely they're a regular-sized linux user and it's only their inflatable penguin which is giant

    [–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

    Or, they are compensating for their size.

    Threatening HOA notice in 3... 2.. 1.

    The useless tiny lawn:tree/shrub ratio in this neighborhood is extremely depressing.

    [–] needanke@feddit.org 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

    The grass looks like my doormat:

    [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

    I've seen doormats that look more alive than this lawn...

    [–] Peck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Damn right. The first thing I thought when I saw that pic. What a nightmare. Thought of walking my dog or kids on that street makes me depressed.

    [–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago

    I feel overheated just looking at the picture.

    [–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

    So are the brick veneers and cookie-cutter layouts

    [–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

    ew, Red Hat

    [–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Not Arch though. It would say so.

    [–] jwt@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago

    Red hat obviously.

    I do too, brother. I do too.

    [–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I think this is my neighborhood. If not, it might as well be.

    [–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Plant a tree, it looks so... civilized.

    [–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I planted an oak and a redbud this year. In a couple decades they'll look okay, I hope. Literally have to wrap them with special paper to keep them from getting sunburned while they are small.

    This area naturally only grows trees along creek beds. The natural plants are Blackland Prairie- tall grasses and "weeds." The HOA would have a cow if I let it go natural.

    [–] t_chalco@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

    Redbud. Blackland Prairie. Semi-ostentatious mega-houses. I see you north DFW suburbs.

    [–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Now I want a distro named "Giant Linux" that's the opposite of Tiny Core Linux

    [–] Ozonowsky@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Includes all drivers, every app and library from repositories, and all of flathub and snap store.

    [–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Yas you get it! Which desktop do you want? All of them 😎

    [–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I tried that once. Forget which distro. It didn't update well.

    [–] swab148@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I seem to remember a distro that was like this by default, like you installed everything then removed the stuff you didn't need.

    [–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 4 points 1 day ago

    Excise Linux sounds metal AF.

    [–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    This would be very useful for offline installation.

    [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

    There's Endless OS, which goes in that sort of direction. It includes even a good chunk of Wikipedia, so you can just install it on PCs and ship those PCs into regions where they don't have internet.

    [–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    A gentu soul probably.

    [–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

    Bruh, why the fuck is the grass length in the negatives? no surprise its fucking shit brown. america smh.

    [–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    I think 48/50 states have been considered to be in at least moderate drought, for a few years now.

    [–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 13 hours ago

    I can tell,

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 24 points 1 day ago (7 children)

    Because it’s winter. I don’t know what you expected.

    [–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (7 children)

    Your guys grass isn't green all year round?

    [–] d00phy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Also, generally speaking, I would agree that lawn is cut way too short, but again it depends on the grass. Bermuda kind of likes being kept short. St. Augustine looks better when it’s a bit longer.

    [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I’ve always heard it recommended to cut short after it goes dormant. It helps the grass come back quickly in the spring and cuts down on thatch.

    That does look really short though

    [–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

    Interesting. I always thought you cut it short in fall to allow light to get to new seed. I thought the best way to dethatch was a power rake.

    [–] d00phy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    Depends on the grass. Some go dormant in the colder months. Some don’t. In the south, St Augustine and Bermuda grasses are pretty popular. Both will go dormant if the area gets a decent winter. In the mid-Atlantic region, you’ll see tall Fescue handle winter just fine.

    I'm not sure why it is cut so short. However, it doesn't hurt anything as the grass is dormant.

    [–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    Suburban desert

    [–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

    I don't think I've ever seen that kind of bloat with Linux.

    Mario 64 fan

    [–] inkrifle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Sadly they have a red hat

    [–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Or a fan of Movietone cartoons
