@foone I tried arch back in the day. I was impressed that it managed to be worse than Gentoo.

I think the arch install guide may have been written by that guy who wrote the bomb defusal manual used on M*A*S*H.

"remove the tail assembly, and carefully cut the wires leading to the clockwork fuse at the head"
*next page*
"but first, remove the fuse"

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew yeah, and they're as convinced that it's legitimate micro-biology as you are about the leaky gut thing. Altmeds are sneaky.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew it's about as much micro-biology as the living blood droplet analysis under microscope people that point out random things and claim they're hostile bacteria or fungi. Both try to resemble actual micro-biology but would be massively worse problems than the typical for altmed superposition of quite bad and fixable by diet and supplements, were they true.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew IIRC "leaky gut" is 100% bullshit, homeopathy-tier altmed.

@coolboymew @eee @mangeurdenuage @noyoushutthefuckupdad I mean if you get the source code of the game and the compiled bundle with assets and what you want is to modify the game you can just leave the asset management code mostly intact. It doesn't matter if you can easily access them, the game can easily access them or else it wouldn't work.

omfg so i went through like an hour-long phone-call with a support person to set up my service; and after all that, I go to log in online for the first time …

… … … and it won't let me login until I "fix" my "broken" name.

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T APPLY 'VALIDATION' TO PEOPLE'S NAMES, FOLKS

@ELLIOTTCABLE A million years ago in the dial-up BBS days there were certain systems that refused my last name “Farley” Eventually figured out the cause was trolls who would log in as “Chuck U. Farley” Due to sysops sharing block lists this problem followed me around on certain brands of BBS for a while.

@hrysku @eniuu @polamatysiak przegrzanie reaktora mają na koncie Japończycy położeni na Pacyficznym Pierścieniu Ognia, doświadczający ciągłe trzęsienia ziemi i tsunami i posiadający wtedy podobno 44 elektrownie atomowe a nie Polska położona pośrodku Europy i posiadająca 0 elektrowni atomowych? Kto by pomyślał.

Chodzi przede wszystkim o kulturę prowadzenia przedsiębiorstw. Japońskie firmy są znane raczej z robienia solidnej roboty i przestrzegania przepisów, Polskie spółki państwowe są znane z bycia okazjonalnie śmiesznym cyrkiem i zatruwania Odry. Jeśli kapitalizm ma na to jakiś wpływ, to nie w tę stronę, w którą byś chciał.

A Ukraina ma niejako na koncie Czarnobyl, może przez to podchodzą tam do sprawy elektrowni atomowych poważniej.

@hrysku @eniuu @polamatysiak to trochę jakbyś się pytał… czemu polskie spółki państwowe miałyby się trzymać ekspertyz lepiej niż japońskie firmy, nawet nie mam na to dobrego porównania. Czemu Słońce miałoby być jaśniejsze od Księżyca?

@hrysku @eniuu @polamatysiak jestem za elektrownią, ale jeśli myślisz że polskie spółki skarbu państwa będą lepiej się trzymały ekspertyz i dmuchania na zimne niż ta zła kapitalistyczna spółka w Fukuszimie to ja chcę portal do twojej alternatywnej rzeczywistości xD

@mangeurdenuage @MK2boogaloo @coolboymew damn, I didn't think it was that bad. And here we were joking about the UK potentially becoming the first formerly developed country…

@coolboymew @MK2boogaloo @mangeurdenuage Them's fighting words. France being officially a developed country should not be as centralised, but the other big cities are probably not much better when it comes to cost of living.

@foone this brings up another interesting issue, if you placed the portals in places with enough gravitational difference, the gravity pulling on whatever you stick through the portal will rip it off as soon as it can overcome tension keeping both sides of the body together. It may even turn it into dust, since the tension will pull more of the object through the portal, which will be ripped off, but not before exerting enough force to pull more…

@foone the portals connect space, you don't move through them at the speed of light, you move through them at whatever speed you move in the space around them since they're no different than any other plane cut through it.

@VD15 the only worse plug is DVI, which by default exists in 8-dimensional quantum uncertainty state and it's impossible to plug it the right way without looking.

Bonus points for trying to plug in an -A or -I into a -D port and bending the analog pins.

I have received a notification a minute ago that the FreeBSD team decided to resolve an issue that I reported 22 years ago. They even used my (trivial) patch. I completely forgot about that. I guess I'm a FreeBSD developer now (w).
