My first like real programming job, in 2019, version control was "download the project from the share drive, update the code, then add your new code back to the share with todays date in the folder name".

Everyone, except 1 dude liked SVN or mercurial, wanted the boss to just get us on git. It became the general standard for a reason. None of us liked the version control system we had, but HDD space was cheap so the boss wasn't that concerned.

I legit learned of it around when it released from gamingcirclejerk making fun of chuds for calling it woke or whatever. Next time I heard of it, it was the shut down announcement.

And on a more subjective note, a lot of people aren’t really into the way that Linus behaves on camera. I’m in this camp. I find that he often comes off pretty arrogant and belittling when he’s interacting with his staff on camera.

I remember on the old site years ago saying that Linus came off as a bit of a douchebag and being downvoted to hell for it. Like, I get having relationships with friends where we're always bullying each other a bit, but it never seemed to me like he was ever on the recieving end of that.

Hi, jewish american here. I recognize Palistine, and I have a hard time understanding why "safe for jews" and "recognizing palistine" are mutually exclusive. Could you elaborate on that? Just so you know any answer involving Isreal I'm just going to call antisemetic since conflating jews and Isreal is antisemitic in the same way conflating China and chinese people is racist.

25K units sold TOTAL. 10 on steam, 15 on psn.

Some quick math, steam takes a 30% cut (10k * 40 * .7 = 280k), and since this is a sony published game sony got to keep 100% on their platform (15k * 40 = 600k). Sony made less than 1 mill in revenue on this game which allegedly cost 100M to develop.

Techy person, you'd really have to fuck up that install bad to brick your computer. Like, I think the worst you could do might just be breaking your install drive and that would probaby just be regular hardware failure.

USPS does NOT fuck around with mail crimes. Reporting it to them means they'll bring the hammer down.

As someone who did swap theor steam deck's M.2, I really wish it were a 2280 instead since those drives can hold much more. The largest 2230 I could find was only 2 TB.

I'm sure all 15 Yoopers are livid. /s

Yeah, lansing itsn't the best location for the capital given the state is cut in half by lake Michigan-Huron.

Don poorleone apparently really irks him.

The xbox one/series consoles run a good number of 360 games dispite the fact that the 360 uses powerPC and the newer consoles are x86.

Sony is out here getting shown up by rpcs3 having about 70℅ of their listed games working perfectly fine by hobbyists reverse engineering the ps3.

Theres also the WiiU a game console so poorly marketed people thought it was a new controller.

Because he's 81, and soon to be 82 in november. Getting him to january shouldn't be a big deal. Getting him to January 2029 however, he'll be 86. Can you name anything that might be not unexpected to happen to someone who is in their 80s? Why do you think a man who will be 86 when he leaves office (assuming he wins again) will still be operating at this same level now? Hell, he couldn't get through a debate with trump a few weeks ago without clearly being an old person.

Would you like an eli5 for some stuff you'll see in the linux community/forums/etc?

I'd personally be happy to give you a quick rundown of some stuff.

Really? I swore I've been told that the regular mint uses snaps since ubuntu loves them. I haven't used mint since snaps were a thing eitherway.

I'm also going to recommend Linux Mint, its a really friendly beginner distro. I'll presonally recommend you do Linux Mint Debian instead of normal linux mint since regular linux mint is Ubuntu based and really loves snaps.

The default user env is cinnimon which is going to look a lot like Windows 10 making the transition easier. If you want to install steam its literally a command line away from installing and then its ready to go. That and Steam personally pushing for Linux as a viable gaming platform there are a lot more games now that work out of the box now on steam.

Would it be better if we called Polish, Pole-ish?

What? Are you saying a bunch of racist slave holders might have also been ageist? Complaing about "kids these days"?

enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another

Merriam webster dictionary definition 2D.

That is a definition people use when discussing libre software. The software is under YOUR control. If adobe says "fuck you, you don't get the brush tool anymore" thats it for the brush tool. If gimp gets rid of a feature in the main branch, you can say "no fuck you I like this tool" and can just keep the code base that included it still.

Also you have a rather perscriptive understanding of language, which just simply isn't how language works. Languages evolve over time. Open up a dictionary and see how many definitions are listed as antiquated. Those are definitions that aren't used anymore as they fell out of favor.

Now get off your high horse about how words aren't the same as they used to be or how words are frozen to definitions.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

I'm just joking, as stupid and impractical as it is to use the cloud as your boot drive I do always love seeing stupid stuff like this. Neat
