  • There's only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

    I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

  • Goated movie. They don't make them like that anymore.

  • Where have you seen a human that sits like this? 🙃

  • You can put egregious amount of cheese on anything and it would taste atleast half as good as pizza.

  • I remember seeing lemmy maybe 4+ years ago on some open-source subreddit. It had practically non-existent user base, so I've ignored it. After that, I remember a first wave of people making mastodon accounts (even before elon). There I've first heard of concept of "fediverse". I liked the idea but I honestly thought it had zero chances to compete with mainstream social media.

    And then everything turned to shit, making a gap between something like lemmy and reddit a lot smaller. So I've jumped the ship with everyone after the API shitstorm.

  • Oh, and GBA rom is included with game files.

  • Gaming @beehaw.org

  • I believe for many companies, developers work on giant codebases with many hundred thousands or even millions of lines of code.

    With such large codebase you have no control over any system. Because control is split between groups of devs.

    If you want to refactor a single subsystem it would take coordination of all groups working on that part and will halt development, probably for months. But first you have to convince all the management people, that refactor is needed, that on itself could take eternity.

    So instead you patch it on your end and call it a day.

  • I believe they both died after the Mountain and the Smaug part, so not really relevant.

  • dragon attack survivor

    That's one way to describe a burglar who came with a group to kill and plunder. And succeeded in both without major troubles.

  • Meanwhile Nim:

     Nim
        
    echo "I am still worthy"
    
    
      
     Nim
        
    let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
             "multiline statements"
    
    
      
     Nim
        
    for x in 0..9:
      if x == 6: echo x
    
    echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!
    
    
      
     Nim
        
    assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
    assert true - 1 # see above
    
      

    Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

  • Ubuntu: 😮why?

    For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who's not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

    Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

    I've been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

    Mint: ex windows guy?

    Aren't we all?
