@mkljczk teraz zabierzemy ci paszport i już nie uciekniesz!

The slang can't get worse, so at least let's make it funny.
Now that quote posts are a thing on Mastodon, we need an insufferably cutesy nickname for them that everyone hates but still gets used anyway. To t...

also if I ever reuse this code for anything ("this code" being the reused code from the juggling keyboard), I'll have to remember that it currently loads all images upside down, unless they're of Doom
@Convention_T @jonmsterling that's a difference between speeding up your HDD twice and using an SSD. Seek time is the biggest bottleneck, I relate with Jon heavily as I can find relevant information in a page of text I can see at once, in a video I have to jump around and hope.
Speeding up playback helps, it's better than nothing, but a video is still horribly inefficient as a medium for passing information to someone capable of moderately fast reading, not to mention someone with ADHD lol

This is a very cool talk by Nicholas Matsakis about editor-friendly compiler architecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6b44kMS6OM
At the risk of asking a very strange question, does anyone know of a WRITTEN source that has similar information?
I am sorry, but I can read about three thousand times faster than I can watch a video. Videos for me are like looking for needles in haystacks...
@mkljczk now make it possible to give GPS coordinates and calculate truly local time

Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender?
Keep your security people alert and awake, generate phishing-looking redirecting links
@bremner oh yeah, the SEO spam apocalypse got serious around 2020, when the main new thing for luddites to be angry about was still crypto.
AI was more of an attempted solution to this problem, via summaries making it that you don't have to sift through garbage to get a simple answer to your simple question, not its cause.
Now it's more of an arms race between whether AI SEO spam can beat AI summaries. This is not how I imagined the first AI wars would go, but it could've been worse lol
@taylan @fribbledom @thatbrickster so, there may be a timeline where a major operating system has random stutters whenever the GC its kernel was programmed with decides to clean up? I'm happy it's not this one.

It's still stupid that we settled on Pull Requests and not Merge Requests as a terminology for *requests* to *merge* code.
@BrodieOnLinux actually if they manage to configure it to help students along with problems and explain things they didn't understand instead of just giving the answer, it would be an invaluable teaching tool. Essentially a personal tutor. The realist in me knows how government programs related to education usually end though.

@VD15 win11 sure, but Plasma? Why?

the most dangerous phase in shitposting is when you have to ask yourself:
do I make this joke twice as funny by spending 10 times as long working on it?
Why fix a race condition when you can mark it as "*as-designed", which immediately locks the conversation to collaborators?
