So what if it does? The reason I don't eat toothpaste is not because it tastes bad.

The channel's only good for their goofy shit now. Like jerry rigging a stupid, massively over-engineered cooling system to cool a server cabinet using a swimming pool.

That's never gonna fly as long as the EU exists. They'd never allow it.

It might be "immoral" and "sociopathic" for me to think this, but if someone is gonna get themself killed because they can't stand to come to a complete stop at the stop sign, GOOD, I hope they die.

That's not immoral or sociopathic, that's just plain dumb and shortsighted.

How exactly do you imagine someone ends up dead after running a stop sign? It very often involves a violent crash that may very well kill innocent people who did nothing wrong. They unfortunately don't take only themselves out of the gene pool.

If you've written a "usage" section that showcases more than one uselessly simple example that doesn't even work in the project's current state, you're already far ahead of the average.

There's nothing sane and readable about how Go insists you format dates and time. It is one of the dumbest language features I've ever seen.

Never have I ever, on any occasion, felt I needed any kind of precise control over any car's window.

It's probably gonna happen sooner than you think, I'm happy to say. You can already buy desktop motherboards that come with decently powerful ARM CPUs. The options are very limited of course and you're probably not gonna have the best experience, but we're getting there.

And is hilariously overkill for what OP seems to want. It's a pretty large and heavy package that comes with a whole lot of (for OP unnecessary) features.

Imagine a jar full of marbles. Imagine there's a shit ton of random large gaps between some marbles across the jar. You can remove those gaps and redistribute the marbles more evenly by smacking the jar. You then end up with bigger groups of closer marbles.

Folding is smacking the jar. It redistributes the atoms in the material in a more homogeneous, more consistent, more uniform way. That's desirable in materials that are made up of lattices, e.g. steel. Makes them stronger overall because now you have larger groups of atoms connected to each other, fewer gaps within the material.

Ricing is the name for extensively customizing your environment. Usually your desktop environment or your window manager or both.

Ricers are people who spend unreasonable amounts of time tweaking their OS to create something somewhat pretty but very often wildly impractical for any actual real world usage of a computer. Anime girls and drawings of japanese landscapes are usually involved.

How does Spotify belong there lmao?

Here's something else to try.

1. Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.
2. Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.
3. Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.
4. Squeeze like half a lemon in the jar. Cut a few thin slices off the other half, cut them in quarters and drop them in as well.
5. Vigorously shake the jar so all the olives are coated nicely in the spicy lemony oil.

I always have a jar of this in my fridge. God tier stuff, once you've got the mix right in steps 3 and 4.

Writing this on a Redmi note 10 running pixel experience. Banking apps all work fine. I haven't had any issues with stuff like that.

Because the vast majority of computers come with Windows preinstalled, and the vast majority of users can't be bothered to update their OS unless they're forced, let alone reinstall something else. I'm fairly certain the numbers would be very different if there were a significant number of blank laptops on the market, let alone ones shipped with Linux.

Something about manually guiding cosmic radiation onto your computer to flip individual bits...

The special thing is breaking things up, but I don't think its primary attraction is the ability to resume faster. I would say the prime attraction is that you can resume at all. If, for whatever reason, your connection gets interrupted while downloading something off of, say, gofile or whatever, you're probably gonna have to restart that download, which is clearly not the case with bittorrent. Or if the content is removed from gofile (or whatever), you're shit out of luck. Taking something out of a bittorent network is significantly more difficult.

Establishing connection to one big provider is usually faster than negotiating with a bunch of peers, though. At least in my experience, torrents take quite a bit more to start than "regular" downloads because there's more work to be done before the work can begin. And unless it's a very popular file that's being served by many different peers at once, a single big provider can also be more available. With torrents you're often dealing with regular people, who don't have their computers on 24/7 and very often have piss poor upload speeds. If it's a file that isn't being served by many people, it might be very slow and difficult to get.

I can download from mirrors at the same speeds as torrents. The trick is to have a terrible internet subscription that's easily saturated by either of them.

Steam offers rather valuable services to the developer in exchange for that fee though. You get to use Steam's existing infrastructure for content delivery, payment processing, advertising, community management, authentication (not necessarily DRM), multiplayer services, etc. instead of having to implement and maintain it all on your own. Self-publishing is not easy nor is it cheap.

Just finished Scalzi's Redshirts. Was a lot of fun. Laughed at every mention of control panels blowing up in bridge crew's faces for no logical reason. Didn't much care about the last few chapters that came after the main story though.
