it’s its not it’s, right?

I always get tripped up on this case. What’s shown in the picture is correct, though you’re applying the rules of English grammar very logically, the apostrophe in it's is only for contraction, not possession. That may go out the window if someone uses it as a pronoun though, idk.

git rm -- \.*
git commit -m "be better"
git push --force origin/main
shutdown now  # take the rest of the week off - you've earned it

I will say that at least it has an error code. So you can actually look it up

I can just imagine something in the middle being like

`We couldn't log you in because ${getReason(e) || 'the network failed to do its network thing'}.`

Pfff easy lib@, lib32@, lib64@, libx32@

Programmers are sensitive enough. All you have to do is raise your voice slightly, and they’ll think you’re yelling. You could probably make one cry just by saying their patch isn’t good, without having to resort to aggressive language.*

I don’t know the whole history, but this seems highly unnecessary, and typical Linus. Didn’t he resolve to be better a few years ago?

Ah found it.

Beautiful. Well done

Yup, I remember that interview. It was about pirates providing translations for the pirated games, that weren’t included by their creators.

Fair pricing is also part of that. Like when Netflix first came out, even with its pretty restricted catalogue, it was a good deal at the time.

zero value

Rofl yeah right, like your face didn’t light up the first time you heard the Halo theme.

Yeah that’s a good way to put it. It’s like so close to the thing you were dreading, that it’s a sort of sick relief when it actually happens.

It’s like…

Ah reminds me of the time (back in the LAMP days) when I tried to apply this complicated equation that sales had come up with to our inventory database. This was one of those “just have the junior run it at midnight” type of shops. Anyway, I made a mistake and ended up exactly halving all inventory prices on production. See OP’s picture for my face.

In retrospect, I’m thankful for that memory.

I also hate math, and am jealous of people who are good at it. I get anxiety just doing simple multiplications, and have to look everything up. That said, I’m a senior platform developer, and earn more than anyone else in my family, so like… math helps a lot, but you don’t neeed it to be a real dev. Certainly not to be a hobbyist/hacker, like yourself.

How much time have you spent doing it? What part didn’t you understand? If it’s the bit shifting stuff, don’t worry about it - hardly anyone actually knows how that works unless they look it up.

Yoink.

Actually I’ve probably been all of these at various times in my career.

I think OP meant moving a code block up or down in a file, not left or right

Just start by dual booting one of the “easy” distros and doing stuff that doesn’t require Windows. Eventually you’ll start spending more and more time on it out of comfort, then one day you may realise that you haven’t needed your Windows partition in months, and can skip out on it entirely.

Disney especially has all but totally captured their target demographics, and not many working parents are likely to put the time into setting up a Plex and torrenting movies for their kid(s). Sadly, it’s easier to shell over an unreasonably large fee, and let their kids have at it.

It’s families. Dual income with several kids, yeah the fees sting, but when your cashflow is high and your savings nil, $200 a year doesn’t sound crazy. It’s not smart, and it’s not fair, but if you know any parents of young children you can see how they could make that decision.

My partner drives our neighbour’s kids around sometimes, so we rack up seats on family streaming accounts that way.

Never had Disnkey, so this is more about Netflix. Back at the beginning, I didn’t mind paying a fair price for a service that made discovery and streaming easy and convenient. Plus subscriptions going to fund more interesting content? Amazing! Yeah, it’s a bit of platform capitalism, but the fees were reasonable and they spread the wealth in a way I agreed with.

I’m still not against a service that keeps its fees reasonable for what it’s providing.

I don’t know, and… I don’t know.

I was making a go of Wayland with Sway wm most recently. I’m back on the ol Xorg with i3 now.
