Unless you cause harm to others (like accidentally starting the next pandemic), how could you ever punish someone for treating themselves? 🤣

We don’t, as far as I know, make cutting your own arm off illegal and I fail to see how this is different.

PS: I’m not arguing against you, just noodling philosophically.

It’s 2024. It’s rude not to jam your tongue in there!

And dick?

Arguably Ghostbusters (1984) is prior art for throwing a capsule and capturing 🤣

Edit: they even had a video game with the ghost trap.

I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!

The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.

You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.

KDE 6 just landed too!

Shit, that’s where my sex drive went. Can I have it back please?

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.

You don’t need reproducible builds. You can get by if you trust whoever compiled it, like your distro’s maintainers or the pidgin developers.

Copyleft means: “if you modify the program and share it, you also have to include the source code for your modifications.”

The owner of the copyright (usually the developers or their employer) can still change the license later.

Let me preface this by saying I don’t see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don’t, obviously, but it is possible.

I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?

Edit: My apologies, I didn’t realize you weren’t the same person I originally replied to. Please disregard!

Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.

Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?

This looks like O(n), because you don’t include constants when calculating Big-O. It’s still ~26 times slower than the implementation without the inner loop.

This looks like O(n^2) because of the sub.

I was right the first time. sub is “substring” and not “substitute”.

There’s a whole sexual kink associated with those collars. I’m just sayin’

I’m still pretty happy with my Miele vacuum from 2018, and they seem to promise spare parts for 15 years.

I bet my model is nothing compared to what they were 20 years ago though 🤣

Mailing lists are pretty awesome. They’re like a decentralized forum. There are even good web UIs!

That said, submitting and reviewing patches over email suuucks.

Dwarf Fortress.

Who the fuck is out here censoring fuck?

Here’s a language that does bash and Windows batch files: https://github.com/batsh-dev-team/Batsh

I haven’t used either tool, so I can’t recommend one over the other.

Netscape Navigator coming in with the real facts.
