@c00p I love how like 99% of conspiracy theories amount to "x thing looks like y thing".

This line change in the google-chrome AUR repo is 💯 percent based.

The advancements of the hardware guys are quickly undermined by the incompetence of the software guys. No game should require a [latest $1k+ graphics card here], it's just a skill issue by shit "programmers" who make both the game and the engine (lol imagine not being able to write you own engine)
@icedquinn again, we've stopped idiotic ideas of the EU top brass multiple times in the past. It's sad when they get this far, but we have a pretty good record of passing good policies and rejecting bad ones. Especially compared to other world powers lol
@VD15 sounds pretty typical, but 90°C is a lot for something that starts to melt at 80°C lol. If you find a way to set it lower it would be great since if they never reach that temp you're losing nothing, and if they do it might save your hardware.
@VD15 are they set to throttle down around 78° or are you just crossing your fingers and hoping they never get hotter? :D

Microsoft products where the objects the product works with have the same name as the product itself:
* Windows
* Teams
* Whiteboard
* Bookings
* Word (why not Words?)
* Project (noun, not verb, that one's called PowerPoint)
Microsoft products where they stuck "One" in front to distract you from the fact they're doing the thing again:
* OneDrive
* OneNote
Microsoft products whose names are verbs setting unachievable expectations of what you could achieve:
* Excel
* Engage
* Access
* PowerPoint
Ditto, but also named to remind you of another, less heinous, product in the hope some goodwill will rub off:
* SharePoint
Azure:
* Azure

Trying to teach my kids programming with Swift Playgrounds, but it keeps deleting the local copy of the playground before we can do another programming session, and taking an interminable time to re-download.
That's a programming lesson right there.

Two things that happened this week:
- YouTube started banning the use of ad blockers
- Google was found serving ads with malware

>patent submitted in 2002 in the age of CRTs as a theoretical possibility
I don't think we have anything to worry about lol
@roboneko @icedquinn nonexistent I assume, no circuits in monitors capable of enough precision are capable of carrying enough current to be able to do it.
Though now I'm also curious.
How are shoe sizes not yet standardized to some sensible units? I'd understand if it was just the US being behind on QoL as always, but even Europe has some weird-ass system.
> The US shoe sizes are based off of barleycorns, which are roughly 1/3 of an inch (around 8.47mm). European shoe sizes rely on Paris points, which equate to 2/3 of a centimeter (or 6.67mm).

@coolboymew @Moon @olmitch you could also check `$WAYLAND_DISPLAY` to make sure if you're currently using wayland, since wayland with XWayland support will also declare a `$DISPLAY`.
Also segfault lol, stinks of shared library version mismatch.
