From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Khaled: Another one

Please fucking explain why this is a problem. I have a folder with movies on an external HDD. I want to move them to a different subfolder. The first twenty worked fine without any issues - as expected. Then I get this error, and it doesn't tell me why in a human language that can be understood by humans.

So, I'll go ahead and ask here. Do any of you have any idea wtf this is? I'm on Fedora 38.

EDIT: Wait, it has actually moved some of the folders and files that it tells me it can't move. So now it's basically copied the files....??

EDIT 2: Not to be a dick, but I think I'll boot into Win 11 and see if it handles it any better. BRB!

EDIT: 3: LOL, Windows moved the shit without any questions. Now you know what I meant with the TITLE.

EDIT 4: And as expected, the community did not like that their God OS failed at such a simple task. As a Linux (Debian) user for 16 years, and a current Fedora user, this is proper cringe - but also expected.

EDIT 5: I'm so sorry for the actual adults around here who try to help, but it looks like Reddit has indeed arrived.

EDIT 6: Lemmy in a nutshell? Actually a bigger echo chamber than Reddit? How ironic.

EDIT 7: This is my blog now

EDIT 8: So I had a sandwich, it was pretty good, but need more salt

EDIT 9: Pretty sure I just invented a new type of Twitter

EDIT 10: Got a cease and desist from Musk, he must feel threatened by all the hate in here. He offered to buy it.

EDIT 11: The Net (1995) A computer programmer stumbles upon a conspiracy, putting her life and the lives of those around her in great danger.

EDIT 12: Whoever owns "Edit.com", reach out to me. I think I've got something

EDIT 13: "Most Hated Person on C/Linux Right Now AMA"

EDIT 14: This thread is now sponsored by Nestlé.

EDIT 15: Angy! ME SO ANGY!

EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw

Are you crossing a physical boundary?

If you have rw on dest but not src “Moves” (copy=>delete) can look like this

All it takes is for a lone soldier deep in a nest to have r - -
