Synthead,

Aw what a beautiful snake

Synthead,

Squarepusher cones to mind

Synthead,

I did a little digging and found that Nestle added CDs to their cereals! There were quite a few different titles with different labels. Maybe these links well help you find your games?

There’s a bunch more content here:

Synthead,

Also, try searching web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems by searching the web then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.

Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.

Synthead,

Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.

I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.

You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.

Synthead, (edited )

I’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.

Synthead,

Billy attempted to sell an Alesis SR-16 that was used in his band for $30k. It’s a $100 drum machine. He was selling it himself. No charity or anything; he just tried to hyper-inflate a very common drum machine that is still produced because he thought he added that value to it by owning it. That was pretty weird.

Synthead,

ChaCha20-Poly1305 and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC ciphers are vulnerable to a MITM attack.

Saying you don’t need privacy because you have nothing to hide is the same as saying you don’t need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say

Synthead, (edited )

Flowery!

Or Ted. You can call the dish Ted, if you want.

Synthead,

Came here to say this. fwupd is so good, it’s almost magic, and good vendors will actually support it themselves.

You shouldn’t remember your passwords, if you know what I mean

How to solve this boot error message? (lemmy.world)

I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...

Synthead,

I wouldn’t be quick to assume that this means a failing disk. There would probably be more sporadic issues if this were the case.

Synthead,

What do you mean by “has a great runtime?”

Synthead,

Oh you mean battery life?

Synthead,

For sure. It’s funny in a way, but this is not a great way to treat folks that are trying to contribute, often on their own time. This could have been rephrased in so many other ways where Linus doesn’t come off as a total jerk, and still be “right” with the same message.

Synthead,

Neat.

Linus could also be kinder.

Synthead, (edited )

I kindly disagree with most of what you said. Linus is brilliant, and I appreciate his contributions not just to technology and freedom but also to society. However, this does not pardon the hardships he has also brought upon others.

It’s important to be honest in code reviews, but his language, while also honest, goes far and beyond that. We’re doing ourselves a disservice defending this behavior as if it’s a standard of communication quality that people should strive for, or learn how to behave like.

Synthead, (edited )

Please defend these statements for me. I’m having a hard time understanding how this is language we should strive for in a code review, even with your explanation.

Additionally, if you can give me any pointers on how I can communicate this way, I’m all ears and would appreciate the help.

Synthead,

I believe that excellent communication can be had without engineers swearing at each other, and I don’t think there are is any good rationale that warrants such behavior. You believe that there is a time and purpose for the style of conversation that Linus portrayed, and it is warranted and effective behavior.

I’m going to agree to disagree from here. Thanks for the conversation.

[Solved] BSOD on Windows VM after update

Hello everyone! I hope to be posting in the correct place, if not please tell me and I’ll delete this. I have a W11 VM on my EndeavourOS KDE laptop that I use because of some software I need for university that does not run under wine (LabVIEW and Keil uVision). The VM is running on virt-manager (QEMU KVM) using the virtio...

Synthead,

My least favorite thing about Windows, above all things, is that it’s extremely difficult to discover what’s wrong with it. People just try random things until it works in most cases.

Synthead,

Why search for error codes when your operating system has every opportunity to tell you what’s wrong?

Synthead,

I always imagined it as a spinoff inspired by these

Thanks for reducing the click bait.

Synthead,

To those that didn’t read this as dark humor: coolant tastes sweet, and it’s poisonous. Your animals will want to drink it, and it will kill them.
