Good. The more people switch, the more support there will be.

Yeah, but I guess megacorps like Warner Brothers are even more obscene than elder gods.

Business Idiots. Ed Zitron wrote a whole thing about how many business leaders are out of touch with users and their own products. They live in their own little pocket dimension with each other, and only really care about shareholders.

Yeah, display port worked fine. It was when I plugged the second monitor in to HDMI I realized the problem. And then couldn’t get online to search for issues.

I had to tether the desktop to my phone over USB to get a network connection.

I later installed pop!_os , tested all that stuff, and it worked out of the box.

After booting, test WiFi, BT and audio functionality.

This is an important step. One time I boldly just installed without testing anything in the live session, and discovered that HDMI and Ethernet didn’t work. Woops.

It’s like do-gooder derogation. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-gooder_derogation )

Someone doing something good? Fuck them. They think they’re better than us?? Where do they get off??!?

A lot of people are trash and are emotionally invested in both the way things currently are, and that they are a very good person

Personally I feel like SQL syntax is upside down, and things are used before they are defined.

SELECT 
a.id -- what the fuck is a?
, a.name
, b.city -- and b??
from users a -- oh 
join city b on a.id = b.user_id -- oh here's b

I’d expect it to instead be like

From users a
join city b on a.id = b.user_id
SELECT
a.id,
a.name,
b.city

One of the shadow of Mordor games made sexy shelob and it was bad.

I played GW1 back when it was new. I remember it being a lot harder than gw2, but I might’ve just been bad at it. Gw2 is very forgiving though.

No luck for me:

Not finding a lot of hits online for this problem. I think updating glibc can be kind of dicey?

Lowering indent levels is nice in functions. Early returns mean you don’t have to think as much. “If it got here, I know foo isn’t null because it already would have returned”.

Yeah some comments are not useful

# returns the value as a string
return str(user.id)

Some comments are

# returns the user id as a string because ZenDesk's API throws errors if it gets a number.
# See ticket RA-1037
# See ZenDesk docs: https://etc/
return str(user.id)

Does Japan not have the fervent anti intellectualism that we have in the US with our right wing? And it’s not in bed with racism to fuck public education together?

I bought a fancy desktop PC recently so I’m not in the market. Otherwise I would consider it, but only if the desktop environment was usable for general computing. I believe it is, but I’m not sure if its version of Linux would be best for like software development.

Sometimes the word “Interesting” causes my brain to recall the character generation in Morrowind. The guy says something like ““Interesting. Now before I stamp these papers, make sure this information is correct.””

Conservatism, mostly.

Just remove all violent people first

It bugs me when people refuse to acknowledge they’re being a selfish prick. At least have the strength of character to look someone in the eye and say “Yes, I’d rather you die than me”. Fucking cowards.

Gop is like a clock where only the minute hand is stopped and the hour hand is flapping all over. Sometimes it’s kind of correct, but not for the bigger picture.

Communication aims at information exchange,

Metadata is data. Skipping small talk is exchanging less information.
