Ephera, to linux in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

Ah, I hadn’t realized Canonical was so awful as to disable the format everyone else agreed on, but seems you’re right: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/…/ubuntu-flavors-no-flatpak

Ephera, to programmer_humor in The Perfect Solution

Yeah, I think, that’s only really JSON which is so pedantic about it…

True or false or null.

Mathematicians didn’t know it yet, but numbers can now be even, odd or neither.

Personally, I don’t get why devs would elect to package for Snap, in favor of Flatpak or AppImage. I guess, if your toolchain offers Snap packaging out of the box, then might as well. But aside from that, do you not just reach fewer users…?

Ephera, to science_memes in Plan Bee

Well, we don’t tend to do well with a “Why not both?” situation. We tend to select for the bare minimum, egoistic solution. Not having the egoistic solution available could genuinely help us, i.e. force us, to be less stupid about this…

Wow, there is far too many layers to this terrible joke…

Ephera, to memes in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

Ah right, yeah, those are crap. I really don’t get why companies are willing to cheap out specifically with keyboards.
Like, it’s the tool your workers use all day. Even if they just type 5% faster on a proper keyboard, that pays for itself in no time.

Is “business class” just a simile here? Because normally, the hardware sold to businesses is of a better quality (albeit also expensive).

The triple parentheses are a racist dogwhistle to point out Jewish folks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

And I guess, because the person on the right is a racist, when they’re talking about themselves (a Jew), they use those triple parentheses…

Ephera, to lemmyshitpost in Ewwwwwwwww

With how horny some folks are for their gun, I’m not sure, everyone feels the same about the handjobs…

Ephera, to upliftingnews in The US is bringing back nature's best firefighters: beavers

The TL;DR I was looking for: The beavers help to ‘fight fires’ in the sense that they prevent forests from drying out. Their dams will occasionally cause floodings or streams to diverge, which helps to distribute the water.

A store near me sells tortellini labeled as “semi-fresh”.

What they mean, is that the tortellini are dried. Or at least, I hope so.

Ephera, to comicstrips in How To Sound Wise

It annoys me that this isn’t just a funny comic. I know some 60+ year old folks who pretty much only talk like that, thinking they’ve eaten wisdom with a spoon, purely based on life experience. Except that they’re not actually saying anything.

Ephera, to memes in Who knew creating the worlds largest repository of information would be a mistake?

I’m not arguing whether anything is wrong with it or not. You could literally be shredding bank notes as a hobby. If it makes you happy, I’m not arguing against.

I’m rather saying someone who’s confident in statistics doesn’t need arguing here. They’ll intrinsically know the chance of winning is effectively 0. As such, they assume that their money will go to charity. But since the lottery company keeps a cut as profit, giving it this way is just worse than giving to charity directly.
