If Blink the engine for Chrome forked off of WebKit and WebKit forked off of KHTML, the engine from the KDE project does that mean that KDE is to blame for Chrome.

I am legally required to say this is a joke

@lowqualityfacts Few people are fluent. Their Polish is unpolished.

Now that astronomy departments have used up “very large telescope” and “extremely large telescope”, successors will have to built in Australia. “Crikey look at the size of that fucker telescope” comes online in 2032.

BREAKING: Intel adds IAPI (Ignore All Previous Instructions) instruction to x86-64.

Companies on July 1st be like #meme #pridemonth

Can't believe Little Bobby Tables is all grown up and has had their first kid, Ignore All Previous Instructions

Just imagine being taken seriously as a customer. Not having to send emails back and forth for several weeks, getting back only templated responses. Not seeing them attempting everything in the book to eventually just weasel out of helping you.

Shut up and take my money, Prusa, keep doing what you're doing!

Every time I contact Prusa's support it becomes harder and harder to justify buying from another brand. It's simply outstanding.

They actually helped identify & fix my problem. Even if it meant sending me a free replacement part. For a machine that's two years out of warranty.

I know competitors seemingly offer better value for money, but that support experience is worth every cent.

computers used to scream when you connected them to the internet. this was correct

I urge anyone who only saw the angry toots and haters - i.e., everyone - to actually read the comments on the bug report regarding systemd deleting /home.

Aside from that first reply which was trash, virtually everything after that was super reasonable and honest about how dumb this issue was, discussing countless solutions to make sure this never happens again.

So if fonts can contain embedded web assembly, how long until someone makes a font that runs doom?

I did some pre-build planning for another Terrible Keyboard and in the process discovered that you can buy uranium ore on amazon.

maybe I should scale this one back a bit

ME: Hello computer! Please show me what I was doing recently

COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch

COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ

COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this? Please select "I love this very much" or "I'll be in love with this later" to continue

Please boost if your immediate circle contains fediverse developers outside of Mastodon.

I'm trying to determine the scope of support for the Mastodon's platform "Move Account" activity across the fediverse. We intend to use this in the relatively near future to convert all of the streams repository's ActivityPub facing accounts to nomadic digital identities - without losing all of our ActivityPub friends in the process.

I'm certain we'll find a number of fediverse projects that don't support this activity and will require manual re-friending. If you have knowledge of any platforms which don't - please reply with the platform name so that this procedure is well documented and we don't have a lot of surprises and missing friends.  Thanks.

I'm very into learning programming languages:

a) kind of “badly” — often never learning major features or major parts of the ecosystem, or not using very popular tools
b) with a lot of confidence -- where I feel 100% confident in the limited subset of the language that I do use
c) over a long time -- sometimes only starting to use a 'basic' feature maybe 5 or 10 years in
