guilty until proven innocent, for it is better that the innocent are condemed than for a guilty man go free. And should a trial be warranted, it shall be conducted not by jury, but by a tribunal of like-minded individuals.

they're live the perfect anti-libral.

I don't think performative politics is a FOSS community problem. It's more of an whole Internet problem.

You make good points, but I doubt you'd continue to feel that way if you were a shareholder

It's always funny to see periodicals talk about Valve like they're a normal puplicly traded tech company.

Valve is private. That fact alone is neither inherently good, nor bad. What it means though, is that Valve will very likely behave very differently than other companies in the same market. Heck, I very much doubt half life Alyx would exist if they were public. If we get HL3, it will likely be a similar case.

Challenge: Lemmy users must express their shared interests separably from their politics. Difficulty: impossible

...but some nerds are more equal than others.

The virgin bin vs the chad .exe

I thought the UNIX terminal was only capable of 8 colors? How do you print characters in precise colors like this?

As an incurable optimist, I look forward to the day digitally licensed media goes under, and analog media makes its grand return

Valve has proven they will go to great lengths to utterly thwart would-be monopolies that threaten PC gaming (the real reason proton exists). We just need to find a way to convince them that Google is a threat too.

He's just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD

The entire thread is hilarious.

"I had to remove my laptop's battery, now Windows won't update."

"Are you using a laptop or desktop?"

"I said I am using a laptop without a battery."

"Please share a screenshot of your device manager, so I can make sure whether or not you are using a laptop or desktop."

"Fine." (Posts screenshot)

"According to your screenshot, you are using a laptop, and it has a battery in it. Please charge the battery to 40%."

"That's it. I'm using Linux."

I don't know anything about Plex, but I know people have written scripts for migrating Jellyfin databases and installations. Are there no scripts like that for Plex?

    
import numpy as np

temp = np.array([22, 21, 25, 23])
sd_temp = np.std(temp, ddof=1)
print(sd_temp)

  

Vs

    
temp <- c(22, 21, 25, 23)
sd(temp)

  

How in the world is R more clunky than python?

Edit: and I didn't even mention how python likes to break unrelated software packages whenever I'm forced to use it.

I'll never understand why my classmates prefer python to R.

Not to mention python has a tendency to influence things outside of its domain. I've configured my software repos to never update any packages containing python scripts or dependencies, because every time python updates, there's a chance all those packages will stop working.

I have little patience for digital systems anymore. I want my computer to "just work" the same way I expect a shovel to just work. I prefer Debian.

My understanding was it used to be windows was decent enough, whilst Linux was an upgrade for those who valued freedom.

Now Linux is quickly going from 'upgrade' to 'only sensible option.'

If my mother can't tell the difference between Firefox and the OS, but can use Linux mint just fine, then so can the average user.

Its not just Linux. NVIDIA sucks on windows too, but those PCMR types aren't willing to admit it.
