Do all these dickheads go to a school to learn the same specific hand gestures?

Why would they do that?

Am I the only one who thinks its pretty stupid Nintendo wasn't prepared for 2million+ preorders in their home country?

I just use GNOME Disks for this.

Woah. Could you a link to the IRC channel?

Could this be reverse engineered?

Took this crap off my computer and installed Fedora as my daily. If I need to run Windows, I'll run it in a VM.

That's kinda sweet but also completely steam rolls a very big part of Homer's character.

And then replacing it with the sugary crap.

Saving this as a copypasta.

Imagine trying to explain FOSS to this fucking administration.

They definitely do a risk assessment on the possible costs of announcing a breach vs the costs of hiding one. I've seen a talk where it was pointed out that one of America's biggest vulnerabilities in its tech sector and general cyber infrastructure is the fact that companies are not legally obliged to announce a leak when it happens.

I'd like to add that Wikipedia itself, while an amazing resource, can be full of propaganda. I came across a page for an international organisation against chemical warfare and went to the edit history. Sourced additions regarding complaints by scientists on the ground in Syria that their findings were being completely misrepresented to show Assad was using chemical warfare were consistently scrubbed without any reason given.

It's funny that I was actually looking at that page randomly while considering how to code a tool that would highlight the most recent (and therefore unreviewed) edits on wiki. I got the idea from a Defcon talk on how to counter and deal with misinformation. It's ironic that in this instance, it was the more established editors that were propagating misnformation.

From my understanding, Esc was originally where the Caps lock is on earlier keyboard layouts. That's why it's bound to that in Vim. It's a holdover, so it makes sense to switch them back.

I accidentally deleted my root directory then botched the backup of my home directory by failing to copy my config files over then failed to check that before overwriting the SSD with my backups on it. I have learned many hard lessons today.

Wtf, do proprietary algorithms actually cost this much?

Really? I had an app that would autogenarate time sheets for work in Google Sheets. I decided to minimise API calls by doing a single call to Google Drive then parse the HTML and reupload. Not a big Python project but ChatGPT hit a wall pretty fast on that one. Though, tbf the documentation was suprisingly opaque so I suppose that goes back to your point.

That project also produced my finest pile of spaghetti code since I had to account for stretched cells in the HTML parsing. I still have a piece of paper with my innumerate math scribbles. The paper makes sense to me. The code does not.

Ngl, I forgtet command options all the time. Its usually just a case of looking at the man to refresh my memory.
