facts don’t care about your feelings

but i do

you should insist on only speaking italian at starbucks, and act confused when they don’t understand you, becuause they’re clearly speaking italian to you!

learn to code and you’ll forever more be going “i could probably fix this if i could be fucked to get familiar with the codebase”

exactly, if devs ignore issues that is to me just them telling the world that they don’t care about the project and we should encourage people to fork it and take over the mantle of de-facto version, or just let it die if it’s not important.

i’d nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses’ genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn’t crack.

not sure i want strains of com in my gender

except that genetics isn’t that simple, there’s many many things that go into structuring your body. Even biological sex isn’t binary, there’s plenty of overlap. People can literally be born with both sets of genitals afaik.

the only ones i don’t like are the ones we’ve bred to have congenital health issues, i will never understand how people think the flat faces are in any way appealing.

a tale as old as time, IRC has done this dance for ages now:

“it’s totally decentralized guys! why are you using other platforms??”
- “okay so i can just run my own server and chat with people on freenode?”
“well no, you’d need freenode’s permission to federate with them, obviously”
- “so it’s not decentralized then.”
“it is! it is! Freenode uses multiple servers!”
- “literally every large platform of any kind uses multiple servers, i’m going back to matrix where the only way i notice the large servers dying is because i stop seeing messages from their users…”

platonic ideal cat, reference specimen

then they’d be english

“oops our software had a bug that made it return nonrandom values for a month”

100%, what would be needed for linux to become mainstream is more stuff like the steam deck, i really hope we get a return of steam machines but done properly this time

it is insane, because it doesn’t even fucking apply to any version of windows, it’s bog standard for older windows games to just shit themselves in various ways.

i hate walking to the store in icy conditions, but man is it a good workout!

remember to sterilize your gastroliths, but be careful so you don’t create microfractures that might splinter off in your stomach and kill you! Just stick to smooth polished rocks washed in soap.

i feel this warrants an extension of betteridge’s law of headlines, where if a headline makes an absurd statement like this the only acceptable response is “no it fucking didn’t you god damned sycophantic liars”
