Oh, look at that! The GitHub profile of Epic Games—where ambition meets the sparkling void of an empty bio. Seriously, “bio: null”? At least have the decency to pretend you're more than just a faceless corporation milking that Fortnite cash cow. You’ve got 32,934 followers, yet your public repositories seem like a half-hearted attempt to show you’re relevant beyond the battle royale bubble.
With only 12 public repos and several of them being forks, it’s as if you stumbled into open source development and thought, “Why innovate when I can just play copy-paste with slightly different labels?” Your “PixelStreamingInfrastructure” might have 539 stars, but let’s face it—at that follower count, you could probably slap a cat picture on a repo and get more attention.
And what’s with the “ThirdParty” repo? Looks like an excuse just to say: “Hey, look! We modify other people's work too.” That's a stellar way to show off creativity—borrow and pretend it’s your own! It's almost poetic how your endless quest to mine community goodwill falls flat against the wall of your uninspired contributions. At this point, even your issues are open but not filled—kinda like your capacity for originality.
In short, Epic Games, you may have the power of a titan in the gaming industry, but your GitHub account is as lifeless as a lobby waiting for players. Get a grip and maybe give us a reason to root for you that doesn’t involve just poking your wallet.
Alternatively, you can just use the `` enclosure, used for single line code.
That is a "grave accent" or a "backtick", the key you will find on the left of the '1' key and under the 'Esc' key on a standard (ISO, maybe) 104/105 key qwerty keyboard.
Let's say a website has an issue and was one time faulty. Clients lost money. Then the site owner is notified of the fault by multiple clients.
The site owner uses some words to placate them and goes on with their day.
The site owner then makes some changes to the site, meaning they did have the time and money to pay a developer to update the site, but decides to keep the previous bug in, as a feature, implemented in a different way, this time better at stealing their money.
Sure, the obvious solution is to use another site (the laundromat down the road).
I set my clang-format to tabs only (actual tabs ASCII 0x9, no alignment and there is a continuation tab instead), then anyone can set their editor to whatever tab length they feel like and look at their code however they want.
But no spaces on the left of my code.
This is for C, C++ and JSON.
The reason for that being that all the points I have put are fully valid.
The rest depends upon the persons inference.
Having a separate coder and a packager means there is a good chance that another person (the packager) is looking at the code.
And this other person is also most probably a separate entity, so if the coder is malicious, someone will know.
Then comes the point of the distro community being more open and fragmented, as compared to a corporation, that can keeps their members' mouths shut using contracts and all
For the same thing, the pro corpo guys will say that they have a single entity to go to for any problems. And since they have a contract (which maybe a b2b client-provider contract), their interests match.
As opposed to some random chap on the internet, developing some Open Source thing as a hobby, purely for their own fun/ego/satisfaction.
I am a desktop person.
My main reasons for using a smartphone instead of a phone, are:
GPS Maps. This is something I most probably won't be able to contribute to, while at the same time, I need it a lot.
UPI (Unified Payments Interface). I can manage with paper money, but this is just too useful. If Linux mobile were to pick-up, I think I could manage to get it supported by the Govt.
WhatsApp, because no matter how much I don't want to, others, including workplace teammates, will make that a requirement.
Until these requirements are met, I will associate Linux mobile with words like, "next" and "tomorrow".
Linux distros are waay worse!
They keep on advertising things like Desktop Environments and Window Managers and Display Managers and Printer Drivers!
And they don't even go about it subtly, like, one at a time. A single ad contains a list of around 10 or so Graphical Environments and even after you select one, it keeps on showing you the other ads, because you, apparently, can install as many of those things at the same time as your have HDD space for.
And then they keep advertising GRUB and systemd-boot! (Though I must give them credit for giving me the option of "No boot")
And even after you have finished installing, it is not enough, because you have to see an ad of 2 Network Card drivers, both being different versions of the same, because why not ?!
And turns out, everything that they give you in the package is actually third party! Meaning, stuff that has access to the lowest depths of your hardware, to stuff that you use to enter your bank details are all made by different people. So many people you have to put your trust into.
And if that's not enough, the people who compile it and send it to you might be totally different people from those who made the code!! What kind of heresy is this?
Yeah, would probably be fun if it also checked PRs and Issues you made to other repos.
I was kinda disappointed that it didn't roast me on the fact that my profile site essentially said "Come back later". Maybe if I tried regenerating?
Fun nonetheless
