  • Occurences of swearing in the Linux kernel source code over time

    Jump

  • I'll take code with swear words over closed code with corporate babble anytime.

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • True, but living in a country where the majority of cars are still manual I can tell you that that myth still stands.

    We have electronic injection engines, you can stop with that neutral crap now.

  • Most insane laptops?

    Jump

  • The IBM Thinkpads with butterfly keyboard.

    Or the Psion Series 5, but that's technically a palmtop.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • If it was for me I'd welcome with the darker mood, but the game was for my kids.

  • What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality

    Jump

  • The Halo series.

    I like shooters, so I got the full bundle and I tried hard to like it.

    None of the games gave me a lasting impression. The plot didn't stick with me, the enemies were weird, the guns felt weak and flimsy, the rooms kept repeating in some sections and it got very boring. There were some fun bits with the vehicles, etc., but overall the experience was... pretty much average.

    I was expecting something like the Half-Life series, but this wasn't it.

  • "Everybody hates you when you're 23" said some wise punk rocker.

    There are a lot of idiots in the world, and some of them are old.

    Old people may seem angry because they've seen a lot of crap and it just keeps coming in new, unexpected forms.

  • That reminded me that Sonic Unleashed was the only game I ever got refunded.

    I bought the game to play with my kids, expecting a colorful and fun Sonic game. I quickly realized it was quite different, much more violent than I expected. So I traded it for Sonic Colors, which was a bit more kid friendly.

  • Manjaro KDE Plasma is planned to move to Wayland

    Jump

  • My Manjaro desktop already migrated.

    I decided to install Plasma next to XFCE to see if I liked it. Then I thought I might as well try Wayland too.

    Turns out the combo works great, even with games and Steam, so I'm quite happy with it.

  • Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event.

    Jump

  • No typo, apparently fealty is similar to fidelity in English, which is not my native language. Sorry about that.

  • Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event.

    Jump

  • That's one typo that actually makes this less bad.

  • So many bands emphatically demonstrate that successful communication is not about what you say, but how you say it

    Jump

  • I'll upvote any PUSA reference, but I agree that a lot of lyrics seem meaningless, as they refer to bugs and balloons and whatever. Or are they?

    Anyway, the music is great if you like rock, and I'll take lyrics about Matchbox cars over lyrics about bitches and bling.

  • The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It

    Jump

  • Well, for starters, games are going to get more expensive.

    That is their prerogative. Mine is not buying overpriced games.

  • I'm surprised nobody posted the surprised_pikachu.gif yet.

  • What is “olive” in your language?

    Jump

  • Azeitona in portuguese, so yes, it probably came from arabic.

    The tree is called oliveira, and the oil is called azeite.

  • PSA: if you use gnome do not get "dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com" it will fuck up your pc.

    Jump

  • Oh no, my desktop is fried!

    1. Create a new user.
    2. Login as new user.
    3. Copy your old files over.
    5. Profit.

  • Being young sucks.

    Being old is not so great, either.

    Being dead sucks more, so... yeah.

  • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • You can choose any colour, as long as it's black.

  • Made a big(?) mistake with mv /*/*/* ./

    Jump

  • I always treat the system as discardable and only backup the /home and /etc directories. Saving those, I can afford to wipe the system and re-settle on a new distro if I want to.

    Of course if you throw Windows into the mix, all bets are off. Personally, I stay the hell away from that.

  • I have the end credits of both Portal games in my playlist. I think we can agree those are some of the best credits in gaming history.
