Some people believe that labelling certain words as dirty because they have prejudicial or offensive connotations in a completely unrelated context is effective activism, passing judgement to feel like they’re doing something.

One such word is “ricing”. It comes from “rice burner”, which is a pejorative term referring to East Asian cars and motorcycles. The modern usage has nothing to do with cars or ethnicity.

On a related note, the word “queer” has a similar history.

There is a world of difference between a bug that doesn’t get reported because its impact is minimal and a bug that doesn’t get reported because people can’t be bothered to make the report and just live with it. The latter category is where the general complacency of 94.2% of players makes a negative impact.

Sounds like the average Armored Core player.

But it’s the greatest city on Earth, according (exclusively) to New Yorkers!

It’s impossible to know based on the current understanding of particle physics. A black hole is formed when the inward gravitational force exceeds the outward neutron degeneracy pressure of a sufficiently massive object, which is what keeps neutrons from occupying the same space (not really, it’s complicated). Beyond that, only conjecture exists with no evidence, and the information paradox makes it impossible to observe the space inside the event horizon.

Steam also supplies its own shared libraries, many of which are 32-bit. It does a lot of fuckery with LD_PRELOAD to load its own stuff instead of system libraries. The steam-native-runtime package in the multilib repository replaces those with system libraries, and provides the steam-native command that runs Steam without said fuckery. I can’t guarantee it’ll work at all.

Processes launched from Steam run in an altogether different runtime environment compared to Lutris. When Steam launches an application, it uses several wrapper processes that you can see in btop’s process tree. Pressure Vessel (pv-adverb) and Bubblewrap (srt-bwrap) are sandboxing solutions by Valve and Flatpak respectively, and Reaper is responsible for tracking and cleaning up Wine processes when the game is closed.

This is what the process tree looks like when I launch Warframe:

Microsoft developed a tiling window manager before it was cool.

The electrician’s 69.

It’ll power your stuff until the end of your life.

Is “prerequisite knowledge” a foreign concept to people these days? When I started writing extensions for Blender, I had to do a lot of legwork to understand the bpy module, and even more fucking legwork to understand Python itself, all that on top of the general knowledge of programming and algorithms from high school.

RTFM means that you should use the available resources to learn. There’s a whole internet full of them. There are no shortcuts to understanding, and you can’t expect every task-oriented guide to explain how to write a main().

In the real world, the only thing better than perfect is standardized.

Enrico Weigelt. He’s also an anti-vaxxer moron. To quote his own words on the LKML: https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2106.1/04542.html

And I know a lot of people who will never take part in this generic human experiment that basically creates a new humanoid race (people who generate and exhaust the toxic spike proteine, whose gene sequence doesn’t look quote natural). I’m one of them, as my whole family.

So yes, sure, nobody can stop people that think the pandemic is over (“we are vaccinated”) from meeting in person.

Pandemic ? Did anybody look at the actual scientific data instead of just watching corporate tv ? #faucigate

The only benefit I see in Xlibre is that it will attract idiots like him and and draw them away from projects with real merit.

Only KDE calls it “meta”. Everywhere else it’s either “super” or “mod4”. The left Alt is sometimes called “meta” or “mod1”.

They should sponsor HGL. No need to reinvent the wheel, and the project could always use the money and fame.

Fun fact: C:\: is a perfectly valid NTFS path. Windows won’t let you create it, though, because Windows doesn’t even fully support the NTFS specification. That’s why you have to specify the windows_names option when mounting an NTFS filesystem on Linux.

Rotating shifts are lovely. I used to work in a factory for 3 years that did weekly day/night/afternoon shifts. Living in perpetual jet lag did fucking wonders to my circadian rhythm and blood pressure. The pay was amazing, but not BP over 200 and falling asleep at the wheel amazing.

Fuck that. The morons who scream WOOOOKE at everything they don’t like that doesn’t fully cater to their worldviews are part of the reason why those shows and movies suck. Blaming bad writing on any kind of agenda is giving the writers and showrunners an undeserved scapegoat.

Yes, the latter seasons of Doctor Who were an atrocity, but it’s not because of the Doctor’s female incarnations (although the retcon itself is still horrid), it’s because Chris Chibnall is a fucking terrible showrunner and dogshit writer that makes even Moffatt’s writing look positively adequate. Fuck you, Chris.

The most straight-forward method would be to buy a standalone switch. I have a TP-LINK TL-SG108 8-port gigabit switch and it seems to retain the ARP table indefinitely.

My previous solution was an ESP32 board with an SSH server and a relay, wired parallel with the power switch, that would be closed by an output pin on command.

You can’t ignore the Bongo Man!
