I like to laugh at americans that they're worse at writing in their language than non-native speakers, but English itself is at least as much at fault as their poor education system. Why would you have "than" and "then" that are spoken exactly the same but have different meanings? I don't think there are many languages that would be worse as an international standard than that randomly mixed inbred dumpster fire for which the relation between written characters and phonemes they represent is a vague suggestion at best.

@Linux_in_a_Bit there absolutely is "viral" on the Fediverse. The same it was before algorithmic content selection. The term originally meant something spreading like wildfire due to being exponentially shared between people and that's how viral posts on the fedi work.

London: shuts down pop-up urinals because they killed or injured too many people
This startup: fine, I'll do it myself

Unix philosophy: make a program that does one thing well

Linux users: ok so if you want to copy a directory preserving metadata, you should use this sophisticated remote sync program with its own protocol for communicating on sending and receiving side, compression in transit and a thousand other options

I know it's just practical to maintain this one tool that covers all of this related functionality, but every time I use `rsync` for non-remote stuff I feel like I'm taking an excavator to pull out a nail.

Same with `wget`, and probably there's a lot more programs that have *much* larger capabilities than the simple tasks I use them for and I don't even know it.

The intro mission to MGRR is a masterpiece. I don't think any game has ever sold me on itself so fast, I knew it's a meme but not the extent of its over the top Rule of Cool shenanigans.

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

@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
