She sits in the window seat, goes to the toilet every 27 minutes, and refuses all offers to switch with the aisle seat.

For some reason that’s a very common thing among websites where I shop for 3d printing and electronics supplies. It’s infuriating because it forces me to cycle through all the tabs to find a specific one instead of just reading it off the god damn tab title. A gross misuse of valuable screen real estate that’s normally expected to display useful information. Fuck you.

The vehicles also make vibrator companies?

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

Sir please it’s not break dancing, it’s breaking. IOC insists on using the latter, because they are desperately trying to convince people that it’s a sport and the dance in the name makes that more difficult.

At first I thought break dancing was a stupid sport to include in the Olympics. The I figured if those hoop throwing and ribbon twirling stuff can be Olympic sports, why can’t break dancing? It certainly has plenty of athleticism in it. More than many other sports in fact.

I still think the overly hip-hop-y style looks weird in the context of Olympics though. Contestants with funky nicknames, and presenters waving their arms while grabbing their crotch like it’s a rap concert don’t scream “prestigious international event that involves thousands of top tier athletes” to me. Though I guess it might be because I’m not used to it.

I got one machine with an amd gpu and another with an Nvidia. The amd machine is so much more comfortable to use, it’s not even funny. The amd card just keeps chugging along and doing its job without bothering me, whereas the Nvidia card keeps making me make sure the drivers are properly loaded in the first place.

Vanilla vscode is not an IDE, true. But that’s a moot point as you can load that shit up with a bajillion extensions and turn it into what’s basically a proper IDE.

It’s not an issue though, from what you’re describing. People have control over their playlists. If that dude wanted to put that stupid video there, then that’s his prerogative. YouTube can’t “fix” that because a user doing whatever they want with their playlist is not an issue.

I’d like to know more about the differences between bird and pigeon.

You damn millenials with your short attention spans can’t even read a caption unless it’s shorter than 8 sentences smh

One day I was in Hannover on holiday. We were walking on a nice street somewhere when this weirdly beautiful pigeon landed on the ground right in front of me. It was a really gorgeous bird. An unusually pretty pigeon. And it landed in front of me almost intentionally as if to stop me. I stopped my friend who was walking alongside me, pointed at the bird and said “wow look at that beautiful pi-”. Right at that moment, the winged rat looked me straight in the eyes, took a big runny shit on the ground, and fucked off. The end.

I don’t know about upset.

You refer to it as gnu/Linux, I won’t be upset. I’ll just slightly roll my eyes at your choosing to utter such an inconvenient word to make a point that doesn’t really need to be made. But ultimately it’s your breath that is being wasted not mine, so I don’t really care.

You start arguing about it, then it gets annoying because give it a rest. I am perfectly aware that gnu is a core part of the whole thing, I just don’t think it matters that I verbally pay tribute to it every single time I mention Linux. One word is enough to let you know wtf I’m talking about 99.999999% of the time, so I’m not adding another one that’s already implied basically always. Still not upset though.

That’s still software. Unless selinux has a hidden feature where it can physically sever a data connection.

Tar and feather

I see what you did there

Also bad is that hair dryers don’t spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.

Yeah that’s a rather important point that’s conveniently left out too often. I routinely extract individual files out of large archives. Pretty easy and quick with zip, painfully slow and inefficient with (most) tarballs.

It’s the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.

One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we’d disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn’t actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said “see, I told you it would help I know my stuff”. He did not, in fact, know his stuff.

I’m also running KDE on arch. It’s not so unstable that it crashes, but its features do tend to break. Right now, there’s an empty space in my top panel where the native system monitor should be doing its thing. It was working a couple days ago, now it isn’t. Yesterday I found a stray native media player widget on my desktop that definitely was not there before. I had to restart Spotify for the 3rd time today because its window becomes unusable if it’s left in the foreground when the system goes to sleep.

I didn’t do any deep tinkering at all. Vanilla KDE plasma 6 where the only tweaks I have made are those offered by the DE itself. I’m not impressed.

They’re not that common. In my experience a highly extension-ified gnome still manages to be simpler and more stable than KDE with all its native customizability.
