The accelerator pedal's plastic cover was also glued to the metal arm. It could easily come off and get the pedal wedged in. That dumpster is a bad fucking joke.

Just a few short months and it'll grow into a proud spanning tree.

It's a method definition. C#'s standard formatting puts the left ~~bracket~~ brace of the method body on a new line. It's equivalent to:

private bool IsSus(){
    ...
}

No, those are the punishments. They won't hurt you, but you have to tolerate them. Eternally.

Install the tldr package. It's a help utility that briefly describes a command and lists several examples of common operations.

The original text is formatted as a code block for some reason. Depending on what lemmy front-end (specifically which Markdown renderer) you use, code blocks can be rendered with syntax highlighting as if they were programming language snippets. Check the source of this comment to see the difference:

This code block uses the default syntax highlighting on the Lemmy web front-end. It might look different in other clients.
This code block doesn't use highlighting at all because it is defined as a "text" code block.

Lions in the wild are so inbred, they might as well be royalty.

There's an ongoing ~~debate~~ tantrum about introducing Rust code to the kernel. Some people are pushing for it, some people have made it their life's purpose to make sure that doesn't happen, it has led to a wave of maintainers resigning, and Linus is sitting with his thumb up his arse when his leadership is needed.

Hey, you. You're finally woke. (cognitohazard warning, it's pure, distilled brainrot)

The Linux community is united! (Unless you mention Rust, or Wayland, or systemd, or Snap, or GNOME, or...)

Femboys are.

re: this article.

The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.

 

About half a year ago I bought a used UPS. It didn't have enough output to power my main PC, but it's perfect for my home server and network.

Starting on Christmas eve and continuing even today, my neighbourhood has been getting intermittent brownouts. It's only affecting one phase (house is on a three-phase 240V connection), which happens to be the one powering my network (also all of the light fixtures, stupid Soviet house), and the UPS works beautifully. I didn't lose any of my services even once. Without it, I would probably be reinstalling Proxmox and praying to the RAID gods to restore my hard drives.

"It pays for itself as soon as it is needed" is proven true once again.

It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.

I haven't done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody's come into my office with an emergency. I've been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I'll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they're empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad's gift.

What a perfectly adequate day.

ExplanationIn the Wayland protocol development process, an authorized representative of a large project has the power to issue a NACK (negative acknowledgement) if they think that a protocol or its implementation is harmful to the Wayland project, which essentially kills that protocol, or at least its current implementation. GNOME has been very actively NACKing protocols that they don't find useful (even if they would be for other compositors). It got to the point where the entire ACK/NACK process was restructured to prevent such abuse.

 

If it floats, buoyant.

 

This is a simple shader node group that breaks up the visual repetition of tiled textures. It uses a Voronoi texture's cell colors to apply a random translation and/or rotation to an image texture's vector input to produce an irregular pattern.

I primarily made it for landscape materials. The cells' borders are still sharp, so certain materials, like bricks, wood, or fabric, will not look good.
