Windows wanna be macOS so bad putting the document first page as the thumbnail

Inspired by the image of that cleric who hilariously refers to Alexis de Tocqueville saying “who I’m sure most Americans have read,” I got Democracy in America on audiobook. I can’t tell if things are that different or if there has never been anyone more wrong about anything in history

"Fandom is creating culture" it is definitionally parasitic to culture, not generative.

"Fandom deserves to be taken seriously" I actually can't think of anything more desperately in need of being taken LESS seriously.

At some point you write so much that single spaced formatting stops being scary

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

I can’t believe that Epic laid off the Fortnite bus drivers

A tracked package is never delivered

Using JS always takes me through all 5 stages of grief

a pic of the scoreboard at truist park, which is displaying an American flag but framed in the center is a photo of the twin towers. you know from when

the way we SCREAMED when we looked up and saw this and SCRAMBLED for our phones 😭

All the time with this language, you can really tell it was written by the seat of his pants. Him and Thompson were basically at the forefront of modern computing. Nobody was thinking of security. Why would they? They were playing around!

I wish I could pick Dennis Richie’s brain about having the core of strings in C be their null termination and then having string literals not either automatically null terminated or throwing a compiler warning or error about string literals not being null terminated

It’s my birthday today 🥳🍨 #DragonBall

Thinking about that moron on twitter who declares that “there is no Arabic language” because he didn’t understand the difference between regional dialects and MSA.

The permanent racialized underclass is like an unambiguously defining characteristic of the settler-colony and we already have several. This isn’t a new development, it’s literally continuity of history

This is not serfdom, it’s capitalism with settler-colonial characteristics

Idk 💯

In-home server rack PCs are going to be the next few decades’ cost recuperation method, I’m hoping

I’ll never forgive mark Zuckerberg for not pulling up and caving the cunt’s face in

Elon Musk doesn’t have the humility to admit he could write bad code which is why someone always had to fix whatever bullshit he would write at PayPal, why Teslas are programmed using JavaScript (🤢), and why he insisted on inspecting code himself when he took over Twitter.

They’re calling it the greatest story every told

Just finished part 1 of chainsaw man. Incredible stuff.

I feel like coming to R from C, I really didn’t like the syntax all that much but the more I learned about it the more I started to like it. But I just don’t see that with Python for the things I’m needing to do with it. Maybe that’ll change. Idk. Weirdest ALGOL-like I’ve used so far.

(WARNING: OPINION) Using whitespace for statement separation is lowkey such a crock of shit, I hate it

Learning Python and, frankly, I think R mogs it for data science applications. The “readability” of Python is comparatively a lie in this space

If you uninstall your entire desktop environment trying to install Steam and the get confused on why this happens when the prompt telling you it’s about to do that asks you to enter “yes, do as I say” to continue, I do not care about any of your opinions from there on out on systems.

Linus Tech Tip saying he considered a union forming at his business would’ve been an insult to him was the first hint that he was a petite bourgeois Hitlerite but his 30 days Linux challenge also exposed him as an illiterate who probably shouldn’t be trusted about anything regarding computers.

Every actual attempt at diplomacy is called “appeasement” now because one guy was like “let’s let a sovereign country absorb another” more than once omg bro

Like, the Israeli government officials and newscasters constantly stating that the state’s policy was genocide in as many words is plenty of proof if you don’t want to listen to anyone pro-Palestinian. But this isn’t the language of rage bait, which requires the abandonment of reason for clicks.
