If you can test it on a feature branch then at least you can squash or tidy the commits after you’ve got them working. If you can only test by committing to main though, curse whoever designed that.

“Bailiffs knocking at the door, eh? Have you considered deploying an ink pseudomorph?”

Case closed!

I’m no expert in Chinese pronunciation, but if you and your colleagues all had rhyming names and could arrange them in a way that sounded like the Trumpton theme, wouldn’t you?

What’s so special about that square one in the middle of nowhere (Colorado?) surrounded by zeroes?

Fair!

Where’s the science?

Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.

The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.

No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!

Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!

imported ladybugs generally are from California

I doubt they’re shipping them across the Atlantic when there are breeders all over the world!

You’ve got to do it at the right time of day too, can’t remember when the wrong time is but if you release them then they all just fly away immediately!

If find myself writing anything I’d call a “program” (rather than just a script) in bash then it’s time to think about using a proper language rather than a shell script, let alone awk or sed!

I was keeping in mind that they put that much money in, surely all that money has made something playable that would make some money, whereas throwing it all away makes nothing at all, right?

“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”

But why? Did they actually think it was going to cost more money to keep the servers running than it would bring in? What’s the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy?

Given how used I am to every statement by a politician or business being this slick, polished, carefully re-drafted beige speech it’s a real contrast to see someone like Torvalds just blasting out their thoughts

Here’s a rough size comparison

It’s ideal for someone who really doesn’t understand computers (so can’t be relied on to install updates etc) if you don’t want to have to be tech support as much as for a “proper” OS

I posted this xkcd a couple of weeks ago, it’s always relevant!

This reads like a No Such Thing As A Fish fact

don’t forget the censoring of the word “porn”!
