It really doesn’t bother me tbh. The fediverse isn’t for everyone and I’d rather people just use whatever platform they prefer than endlessly complaining on Lemmy when it’s clearly simply not for them. And that’s okay, use whatever platform suits you.

Also, remember that Lemmy is a small open source project with only two or three full time devs and the rest being from community contributions. Lemmy is also entirely supported by user donations and an NLnet grant. I feel like too many people are coming here and basically expecting corporate level customer service and user experience just without the corporate enshitification, which is not a fair expectation for such a small and grassroots platform.

Lemmy is also very young and very much still in beta, it only started federating like two years ago. Keep that in mind as well.

Git is now pronounced Jit.

JIT, as in the compiler architecture, is now pronounced Git.

Out of the mainstream distros what might end up getting bought by Google or even Microsoft, Ubuntu seems to me like the most likely candidate.

I mean, RedHat was once the even more likely candidate, but

Fun fact: Strawberry is called an accessory fruit because its seeds are on the outside, so the seeds themselves are the real “fruits” (in the same way each grain of rice or wheat is itself a fruit, well technically the fruit consists of the grain plus the outer pod/husk that gets removed when harvested). The red flesh we like to eat is the accessory fruit because it in itself does not contain seeds.

Raspberries and blackberries are called aggregate fruits because they’re essentially many fruits attached together as a single structure. Actually, a strawberry is called an aggregate accessory fruit because it has many “fruits” directly attached to an accessory structure.

If we’re to insist on it being a specific country’s food, it really should be Indian no? It was invented by Indian diaspora in the UK as (IIRC) a take on traditional Indian food using ingredients that are easier to obtain in the UK.

IMO saying tikka masala is British food is like saying General Tso’s Chicken, which was invented by Chinese diaspora in the US for similar reasons, is somehow American food. I don’t think the country it was invented in can really claim credit in either case.

Yeah but sometimes it’s the ESR version which is super slow to get feature updates. Though I suppose that’s fair for distros intended for server or other enterprise applications.

Also also us: oh a lottery ticket that I know for a mathematical fact has such a tiny chance of winning that I’m literally more likely to be struck by a shark and eaten by lightning, well I’ll try my odds, who knows?

I once had a program fail to compile, but when I compiled it a second time it worked. No idea why, best guess is some kind of caching or dependency issue that got resolved by restating the compiler.

Now every time a program fails to compile and it’s not immediately obvious what the problem is, I instinctively compile it again just in case. Well more like three or four times.

I might just be a dog though.

It’s always ironic and super self aware wolf when a customer says they “feel bad” for you because you’re working on Sunday, Christmas, etc, or working in the dead of night for 24/7 establishments.

Also, Catholics and many other Christian denominations literally believe that people who work on a Sunday go to hell for violating the Sabbath, yet after Sunday mass tons of them flood into restaurants, causing the cooks and wait staff to go to hell.

The other day I saw a video from Emkay, one of the largest “Reddit commentary/reaction” content farm channels where they just steal the top voted posts from Reddit and read them out, going as far as to censor even the lightest swear words with stupid pop culture sound effects until the post is utterly soulless to avoid demonetization, zero credit to the original creator and no linkback in the description or anything. And surprise surprise one of the narrators flat out said “YouTube blocking adblockers is great because we get more revenue!”

If that isn’t a self aware wolf moment I don’t know what is.

Here’s the thing. Even with inflation (which is exaggerated by companies when they jack up prices for consumers), they have less overhead now than they did when they started. They had to do all the DVD stuff by hand and now it’s all computers. So basically they just had a massive bump in their profit margins and just pocketed the difference.

Surprise surprise, better technology and automation replacing people doesn’t mean things become cheaper under capitalism, even when it fucking should.

It’s almost like North America’s rampant and unmitigaed car dependency with almost no viable alternative modes of transport is responsible for more death and suffering than terrorism!

With the recent track record of AAA game studios and their milking of long-running series, it might not even be worth pirating.

Willy Wonka is a true American businessman. A child is about to die horribly and all he can think about is loss of product due to contamination.

Edit: Ok I looked it up since I wasn’t sure if Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is set in the US or UK. Apparently it’s inspired by factories in the UK but the actual setting in-universe is ambiguous in the original book, though both movies set it in (IIRC) London. Reading it as a kid I definitely imagined it taking place in the US though, not sure why but the story just “sounds” American, what with the copious consumption of sugar and the seemingly total lack of government oversight on businesses.
