I’m both fat and tall. None of my fucking clothes have consistent sizes that fit. I’m not the least bit surprised that the clothing industry’s greatest minds were defeated by breasts.

Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

It wins by default but only because I never liked the Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky-like infinitely scrolling threads and only use Discord to follow some artists.

“For your attempted unaliving of the monarch, you are sentenced to summary forever sleep.”

Others have answered, but I’ll say it anyway.

The name paracetamol is used in most of the world, and by the WHO. Acetaminophen is the adopted name in the United States, Canada, and Japan. US pharmacies also use APAP. The most common trade names are Tylenol and Panadol. They all refer to the same stuff.

Regular use also fucks up your organs. Paracetamol (Tylenol) kills your liver, and ibuprofen kills your kidneys.

Leaded fuel. Avgas is 100-octane leaded gasoline that is still being used by most small aircraft piston engines. Lead-free alternatives exist, but production and supply infrastructure is nonexistent.

I despise micro-USB with a passion. Even more than mini-USB. It is so flimsy, it’s always been the first thing to die on my wireless devices, including my older phones.

If a device charges through USB, I consider not having USB-C to be a deal breaker. Right now I’m waiting for a USB-C socket breakout panel because I want to convert my Xbox One controller from micro to C.

Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it’s damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can’t reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.

If touchpad gestures work, I’m putting that on my macbook air. That looks so comfortable.

Linus Torvalds and Kent Overstreet (the main developer of bcachefs) often argued on the Linux mailing list over adherence to long-standing practices when submitting pull requests. In the latest confrontation, Kent dropped this absolute clown shoes response:

If you’re so convinced you know best, I invite you to start writing your own filesystem. Go for it.

Narrated by Aussie Waylandman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07XjCGQpwpw&t=869s. I recommend watching the entire video, it’s very entertaining.

I think you and the bcachefs owner would be very good friends.

The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

Oh, fuck off! I can barely use Blender because dragging a spinner control does something with the cursor that makes Hyprland shit its pants. It’s been fixed and broken several times. May or may not be related: Vaxry has expressed his disdain for Blender in issue notes. (edit) found it: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3270

(edit2) I should also mention that Hyprland is the only compositor where this happens. KDE Plasma, Qtile-wayland, Sway, Wayfire are all fine.

Dude’s shilling for his own compositor backend right after ditching wlroots. He has zero credibility in this matter.

I’d be very concerned about the state and safety of those rails.

It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/

By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.

“Some people deserve to be punished.” - Amos Burton (actor Wes Chatham), The Expanse season 2, in reference to an opportunist who had been enriching himself during a humanitarian crisis; comparing him to pimps that force kids and vulnerable people into prostitution.

The virgin .NET:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

The chad POSIX: LANG=C

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
