Highly recommend throwing --patch on any git commands you’re used to using. You will have the prettiest, most atomic fkn commit, I’m serious people will love you for it.

I mean many people won’t care, but the quality folk will notice and approve.

I love you

$mod+Return crew wherr you at

Ahhh good, good… me too

I don’t know when I’ll next get the opportunity to ask this, so

How do people pronounce this: “gee lib cee” or “glib cee”?

I have the same question about clang

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

Yeah I just noticed that after commenting this. Still halfway applicable, but who knows how Linus is these days - not me 🤷

as a maintainer

ounce of social intelligence

Maybe fair in a typical setting, but getting iffy around programmers, especially kernel maintainers. I’m convinced linux and foss in general would not exist without the autism spectrum, and who knows maybe even borderline personality disorders

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.

Hey I’m on Ubuntu because I’m lazy, not because I have a life

Linux user should really be shown with a hoodie sleeve…

Also that urgency is rooted in job insecurity, not even customer impact. They just don’t want to look bad.

E: which I mean fair enough, me too, but still.

Oh alright then

Yes, please let the others know

any scientist would go “oh hey thats Fibonacci!”

Agreed, except in my crunchy post-pedal glitter punk opera they would say, “oh hey that’s the numbers my screensaver uses!”

Although seriously, what would dictate the “start” of the disk - the top, left, foremost block? I think we can assume they would try to read the data contiguously, but that’s about it. I guess you could have some kind of visual indicator, like it’s in a different colour…

Interesting problem!

But I don’t actually need it.

Ouch

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.

I’m not seeing the soy connection

What do you mean by this?
