you’ll have to ask the people being assholes

That’s fair. However aggressive trucks on the road is the only reason I know they exist. I’ve calmed my post down a bit as you’re right. It’s not everyone.

 

More Examples:

I see this everywhere. Hidden or transparent monochrome American black flags on large trucks or 4-Runners. Usually speeding or driving aggressively on the highway.

I found this:

The black and white American flag originated during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. It was created as an opposing symbol to the white flag, which symbolizes surrender. Confederate army soldiers flew the black flag to demonstrate they would not give in or surrender to the enemy. It showed that they would rather be killed than taken in as prisoner.

And this:

Sometimes soldiers show respect for their country by using the black version on their vehicles

My question is for the people doing this. What message are you trying to send? Are you openly telling your coworkers and neighbors that you are still supporting the South in a war that ended long ago? Are you low key showing your support for Trump? Are you ex military showing support for your country? I ask because at least for me, the message is unclear.

Where? I don’t know who’s project your referencing?

Actually, I don’t care enough. I didn’t realize I responded to your follow up to someone posting their custom install scripts. I meant generally that’s not an issue I’ve ever come across. Then again, I don’t tend to install distro’s that simply add a couple custom wallpapers and welcome app. I’ll stick with base install from the source.

Why would it not? I think maybe a few times in 20 years I’ve come across an installer that didn’t let you do custom partitioning.

No one brings up Discord? You really believe you’re talking to your friends in private? So discord pops up all those years ago and provided the service out of the kindness of their heart? For free? The terms of service is much more lawyer speak these days but when it first made it’s debut they openly admitted to recording audio and storing data. It requires your phone number for goodness sake. It’s the only app mentioned that’s actual purpose is to listen.

Thank you. I recently set up my own instance and realized the need for tools that can assist in managing.

Imagine installing Linux and having Microsoft word, Adobe products, or some games pre-installed without pain.

That’s Windows. What you’re looking for is Microsoft Windows. I would very much not like to imagine that.
