Once upon a time I was installing Linux on a tiny little laptop, whose brand name I’ve forgotten. It was probably a Lenovo. Anyway, it was extremely difficult to install anything on it, and they went to great lengths to make sure no one would be able to install Linux on it. I spent an entire day messing around with the grub terminal, and began to suspect that it had a built-in cut off for the USB port during boot. I think I saw some log output to that effect, but I couldn’t find any way to disable it. After some thought, I got back in grub, unplugged the USB stick that I was installing Linux from, and plugged it back in. The laptop detected and mounted the external drive and I tried to install again.

Worked perfectly.

Not how I wanted to see Trump at The Hague, honestly.

Trump as Oedipus, immigrants as his father, and the abstract concept of freedom as his mother.

Immigrants and freedom made Trump possible, and managed to avoid him for a bit. Then he comes back, kills immigrants and fucks freedom, at which point, lady liberty kills herself.

Where is Ben Garrison when you need him.

Thank you sir and/or ma’am

I don’t read German, but I recognize “micro plastic”, which means “asbest” is “asbestos”, don’t know what the first one is though. Last is graphene. I’m assuming “Voller” means something like “generation of”? How close am I?

Doesn’t matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.

Seconded. It’s pretty chill here.

Not anymore, it’s not. He’s immune from any sort of prosecution related to the job.

I was going to go off on a tangent about other industries that shouldn’t exist, but people are having reasonable and productive conversations in the comments, so I guess I won’t. Damn you, level-headed Lemmy users! Damn you all to hell!

This was a great read. I vaguely knew about some of it, but I’ve never done a deep dive into polish game dev history. Thanks man.

Oh shit, I think you’re right. My bad.

Did not expect an Armageddon reference.

I vote “End of the Empire I-III” by Arcade Fire.

Yeah, I agree.

For a minute, I had no idea why you were posting a picture of Sean Connery. Then I went back and read that in his voice, and it all made sense.

• Card carrying member of the Satanic Temple
• Atheist
• Software developer (witch)

Yup

It’s “charlatans”, but hard agree.

Thanks, I appreciate it. When I asked, I was much to drunk to figure out how to do that.

Can I get an English translation, please? I’m curious.

No worries. The internet is full of people who are confidently ignorant and happy to tell you all about it.
