I think most (all?) linux distros could learn a lot from ACTUALLY showing the error when the machine dies a horrible death
Linux recently DRM (Direct Rendering Manager, not copyright protection garbage) subsystem recently gained the ability to do something even better.
It can render a QR code containing debug information and kernel logs.
Oh, absolutely.
I would understand paying for online news as an alternative to ads, and only if the news organization does actual reporting free from political or billionaire interference.
Off the top of my head, I can think of exactly one news website that seems to meet that criteria at a surface level.
For everything else, fuck 'em— archive.is :)
when you do have big problems its still kind of annoying
Or small problems. Very annoying small problems. Like GTK 4 windows freezing when you try to close them.

I think we all know the answer to this.
Look, we’re not asking for much. Just the tip.
“Paid sick leave? Yes, we do have paid sick leave. If you want to leave while being sick, you have to pay us back for every day you’re on leave. And no, we don’t offer health insurance.”
Are you saying you don’t use The Google anymore? But how do you find all of your baking recipes?
Who’s going to win?
SELinux+Seccomp+Containers…
Or the sysadmin with sudo and chmod.
Neither! It’s whichever script kiddie gets lucky first.
It’s the same for a lot of people. Beginners are still learning good practices for maintainable code, and they’re expected to get better over time.
The reason people are ragging on PirateSoftware/Jason/Thor isn’t because he’s bad at writing code. It’s because he’s bad at writing code, proclaiming to be an experienced game development veteran, and doubling down and making excuses whenever people point out where his code could be better.
Nobody would have cared if he admitted that he has some areas for improvement, but he seemingly has to flaunt his overstated qualifications and act like the be-all, end-all, know-it-all of video game development. I’m more invested in watching the drama unfold than I should be, but it’s hard not to appreciate the schadenfreude from watching arrogant influencers destroy their reputation.
you’d end up using modulus and move on quickly.
But where’s the fun in that?
There are so many better for obfuscation ways of checking for oddness!
(a & 1) > 0
a.toString()[a.toString().length()-1] - '1' == 0
iseven(a)?(1==0):(1!=0)
That code is so wrong. We’re talking about Jason “Thor” Hall here—that function should be returning 1 and 0, not booleans.
In the source code for his GameMaker game, he never uses true or false. It’s always comparing a number equal to 1.
It’s not like they needed all 11000 of them. Half of them died from being submerged in boiling dye… Surely, it would have been easier with half a magnitude smaller quantity.
Yes. Only in fantasy land. As Logi above said, nuclear detonation is an extremely precise, controlled process that has very specific conditions to achieve successfully. Even an actual fission bomb only manages to consume a fraction of the radioactive material.
The only thing someone would achieve by denotating a conventional explosive near a reactor or nuclear stockpile is spreading highly radioactive dust around. That does not nor will ever look like uncontrolled nuclear fission, let alone a detonation from a thermonuclear warhead.
The magic cable typically goes into ISP-owned hardware sitting in a box somewhere down the street. From there, it’s either converted into fiber optic signals or repeated until it reaches an ISP-owned building where the data can be exchanged with the wider internet.
How does so much data go through a single-pin coax cable?
It uses multiple channels (frequency ranges) in parallel, bonding (combining) them to increase throughput.
A surprising amount of bandwidth can be achieved this way. DOCSIS 4.0 can do 10 gigabits per second in download and 6 gigabits per second in upload.
One instance? There’s at least two. But does that really matter? Reddit had r/TheDonald and r/conservative, and trying to get those people to fuck off and stop proselytizing elsewhere was like trying to play whack-a-mole against an anthill.
Here, you block the tankie instances and move on with your life.
Even if they did, anyone desperate enough for the vague promise of money isn’t going to have enough of it to hire a lawyer.
