Lets let the perpetrators encouraging mass shootings continue to get off scott free while actively enraging their base with falsehoods.

Is there a /c/insanepeoplelemmy yet?

This feels fucked up to write, but incels shooting women/children/non-whites is probably better than having lefties/righties shooting each other. That’s how you actually get a civil war.

…honestly, I’d rather get shot

World: But it’s already December!

America: hold my beer

Alternatively, at the rate they’re happening, it’ll stop being newsworthy soon.

That’s why you should never put people on a pedestal. There are a lot of people I admire, but I always try to imagine them being stupid assholes most of the time to balance things out in my head.

This is far from the first (or last) time he wrote something like this. This was just a regular thing in the kernel world for a long time (until Linus matured a little).

Whether or not it was a good thing is up for debate I think. Yeah, it’s very rude and unprofessional (and discourages new contributors who don’t want to risk getting chewed out), but considering the importance of the Linux kernel, it’s good to know the lead maintainer is doing too much of the right thing than not enough (i.e. being lax with bad code in order to be respectful). I’m fine knowing that a few tech workers got their egos smashed if it gives me confidence that the code powering civilization is high quality.

You mean that’s how Bill Gates gives your baby autism.

$2m is enough to pay for chemotherapy

It feels like blaming everything on capitalism is a Lemmy meme.

EDIT: smh look at all the capitalists smashing the downvote button as if it were a poor.

Fuck that shit. I’ll release all Microsoft code under GPL so people can figure their own shit out. As for people who built their business on Azure? The will reap what they sowed.

Make me your king, and I will take us to the GNU-Slash-Linux holy land.

Stay classy, Lemmy.

Around $3 trillion dollars so that I can buy Microsoft and shut them down, paving the way for the GNU/Linux desktop.

This is best practice since there is no standard order of operations across languages. It’s an easy place for bugs to sneak in, and it takes a non-insignificant amount of time to debug.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, she downloaded a shitty ad-infested calculator from the Google Play store.

And since it’s GPL that any additions are compatible with the GPL, which the ad / tracking stuff they’re likely to add likely isn’t.

That’s a good point, although I wonder if there are any ad SDKs that are GPL compatible? There’s no reason that couldn’t exist AFAIK.

However, there’s also the much simpler scenario where they straight up replace the apps with something completely different. This company buys apps all the time, so I’m sure they have at least a few calendar, gallery, file browser, etc apps lying around that they can reuse.

All single board computers have driver problems because they require custom kernel forks that can’t or don’t get mainlined for whatever reason (usually laziness), but Raspberry PI is actually the best when it comes to that stuff.

So when you buy an SBC, you need to ask yourself: will the company continue to develop/update/patch their custom kernel fork now that they shipped? Or will they just abandon it and move on to the next product? 9 times out of 9.01, it’s the latter.

Tell me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years without telling me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years

What about when they want to read an old letter from a relative, study notes from a senior, archive document, manuscript of work of literature they love or a fancy font ?

Ask ChatGPT to translate and summarize it.

When I learned how to write in “cursive” in a south Florida elementary school (early 00s), I learned that “Zaner Bloser” style he posted above. However, I’ve never heard the term “joined up writing” before today. I think you’re both just mistaking regional terms for standardized ones.
