This is great news, it was really sad to see such a cool one-person project nearly destroyed by abusive reactionaries

Oh I'm definitely nicking this for !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk

Thanks for the clarification, still pretty impressive

71.5% of podiums is a pretty big achievement, are there comparable stats for other teams?

Blockchain? Get with the times grandpa!

It runs fine on my WiiU!

You guys are paying $20 to see a single film at the cinema!?

You picked the one week where the Astons are actually doing pretty well!

Look at the times, I'd guess only 11 drivers had gone out

    
while true; do


  

isn't exactly harder to read than

    
while true
do


  

though, is it? And going back to my original point, I don't like while true being on its own as to me it looks like it's meant to be a separate statement rather than part of the do/done block.

So you'd rather it all be on one line? I'd only do that if it's a very simple command, otherwise you're just making the code harder to read.

As an advisor, not as a Fernando Alonso "young driver"

Maybe Newey took an afternoon off doing next year's car and fixed all the aero on this one

Simplest solution might just be to dual-boot Windows if you can't get a VM working

If this joke works in your accent then you have a funny accent _{(not like mine, which is sensible and correct, of course)}

Ah, so the American equivalent of a kebab shop then?

I'd write

    
while true; do
    X
done


  

for the same reason I'd write

    
if [ something ]; then
    X
fi


  

or in another language

    
if (something) {
    X
}


  

Because it's all part of the same statement and having a single line with just do or { seems silly and implies (to me) that the lines aren't related.

The best time to buy a console is just after its sequel is released, lots of people upgrading and selling their old one with all the games and controllers

Is Lemmy a privacy nightmare? No, because you know that everything is public here, admins can even see your DMs.

There are probably users who don't know this. And I reckon most users don't know that anyone can see everything you upvote and downvote (with a little effort).

You literally have an OS you can do anything with in terms of visual UI customization

Is that still the case? Sure you can replace the launcher, but things like the quick settings, notifications, general UI elements are all defined by the OS, and the custom ROM scene isn't the same beast it was a decade ago.

This is a genuine question BTW, if you know something I can install to say replace the notification/settings pull-down (and I don't mean "install this random custom ROM that needs root access and hasn't had a security update since 2018"!) then I'll download it right away!
