Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?

It's the Lagrangian of the standard model of particle physics

You've immediately lost credibility.

Wow. I would love to here from the mods how my comment was breaking the rules of a memes community.

We have other problems to fix before we can safely bring back free public restrooms.

People pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.

What? That's just not a good comparison.

People don't shoot up drugs in a roll of toilet paper.

I get usable results for "Boards of Canada". You've got some personal problems happening.

Despite what developers do at the end of the day, there are conventions for application directories on every OS.

I just use the directories crate in Rust.

Easy install is not the only benefit. You also get fearless upgrades. When I upgrade my Nvidia driver and it inevitably exposes bugs in one of my apps, I can always jump back to the previous build version without uninstalling anything.

Especially because devs actually have to go out of their way to exclude Linux these days. Proton makes it so damn easy to support Linux. If you don't, it's because you did not even try or you intentionally added some bloat to your software to make it incompatible.

Lol the yellow eye barely saves it.

It's an investment for the next time you install on a new dev machine. After install, I will literally run a single command to return to the exact state of my dev environment.

I'm actually building a new work station right now.

This is dangerous misinformation.

Windows managed to brick itself when I booted for the first time in a month. I only wanted it for the Karafun app, but I guess I can live without it.

I know for a fact that my company's build process is twice as slow on Windows/WSL than on vanilla Linux. We have benchmarks from many different user environments.

I thought the Empire in Star Wars was supposed to be Third Reich Germany. They literally both have "stormtroopers."

Fair. I was mostly thinking about it from the perspective of what the writers had intended at the time.

tatterdemalion ,
@tatterdemalion@programming.dev avatar

I literally didn't even boot Windows for a month and then when I did, I got BSOD on boot, and it gave me some bullshit about not being able to find a device. How's that for maintenance? I can't say I miss it.

Sadly it doesn't support reporting income from independent contracting (yet).

Anti-antifa does not subscribe to the law of the excluded middle, so double negation elimination does not apply.

EDIT: This was a math joke, but I'm proud that it seems to have gone over so many heads.

If the government cared at all about accessibility, then you'd be able to do your taxes in an HTML form.

If your goal is to "self-host" a password manager, you might as well use Keepass + SyncThing.

  • free software
  • master password protected
  • has organization and auto-fill features
  • can sync across multiple devices

Usually the downfall of rolling your own password manager is it's easier to make mistakes and accidentally lock yourself out. Or if you don't keep backups/replicas then you could easily lose your passwords.

Millenials and Gen Z are tight. It's Gen Alpha that has Millenials... concerned. We are watching with bated breath.

We think we're Ricks but we're actually Jerrys.
