lolcatnip,

Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren’t a thing?

lolcatnip,

I don’t have an opinion on Linux as a banking platform, but that analogy is bad. An Xbox can play 100% of games made for the same generation of Xbox hardware. If Linux can’t play close to 100% of the games released for PC hardware for at least a few years after the hardware was new, then it’s a substandard option. That was the case until pretty recently.

lolcatnip,

If you’re talking about what he’s accused of saying, he did not say that. People kept repeating a badly garbled version of what he said that makes him sound awful, even though his actual words are easy to find and completely disprove the accusations.

lolcatnip,

Ok but they definitely do. Quark might not be the most reliable commentator.

lolcatnip,

IIRC there’s an episode of Enterprise where Ferengis try to capture the crew to sell them as slaves

lolcatnip,

Funny, she doesn’t look Klingon.

lolcatnip,

If you’ve previously identified one side as consisting of pathological liars, it’s best to ignore whatever they say because the more you hear from them, the more likely you are to accidently believe one of their lies. It takes a lot of vigilance to listen to a bunch of plausibly-true statements without misremembering some of them as being true.

lolcatnip,

There’s an xkcd about precisely that observation.

lolcatnip,

Would’ve been better to say Blackhawk instead of helicopter. I would’ve gotten the joke a lot faster, at least.

lolcatnip,

One rotor vs two, human anatomy vs Klingon?

lolcatnip,

But $(date) does return a string with spaces, at least on every system I’ve ever used. And what’s so bad about the possibility of spaces in filenames? They’re slightly inconvenient in a command line, but I haven’t used a commuter this century that didn’t support spaces in filenames.

lolcatnip,

Oh, the horror!

lolcatnip, (edited )

Ok, I just reread it. I don’t see what you think I’m missing. You mean an improperly written find command misbehaving? The fact that a different date format could prevent a bug from manifesting doesn’t seem like much of an argument.

lolcatnip,

Pretty good analogy, IMHO.

lolcatnip,

People born around 1980 are Xennials or the Oregon Trail generation. We’re kind of a blend of gen X and millennials.

lolcatnip,

Generations are as real as genres.

lolcatnip,

People say vanilla is a boring flavor, but it’s not. It’s a versatile flavor.

lolcatnip,

Right?

lolcatnip, (edited )

IMHO you would have been within your rights to yank that guy’s console out of his hands and smash it.

Of course the risk escalating wouldn’t be worth it, but you’d have the moral high ground at least.

lolcatnip,

Strangers who use public spaces absolutely owe other people their consideration. It’s part of the price of admission to a public space. It’s not enforceable in practice but I’d be surprised if a certain level of being inconsiderate is even legal in most public spaces.

lolcatnip,

Do people unironically refer to playlists as mixtapes?

lolcatnip,

You can at least feel superior to the assholes screwing up public spaces to the rest of us.

lolcatnip,

I just think it’s odd that such a long-outdated term is still in use. Something about it being more specific than “tape” makes it more weird to me.

lolcatnip,

Yes? I’m not saying it’s a good idea to actually do it.

lolcatnip, (edited )

You can call the police, but will they actually show up and do anything about it? Where I live they almost certainly will not.
