For me it’s easily the latter.

What is the part for? What does it do?

Comments shouldn’t explain code. Code should explain code by being readable.

Comments are for whys. Why is the code doing the things it’s doing. Why is the code doing this strange thing here. Why does a thing need to be in this order. Why do I need to store this value here.

Stuff like that.

What, like he has other useful skills?

Man, I’m all for paying people for the time and effort they put into software. But what’s the point of Zorin OS? Doesn’t seem better than other Linux-based OSs.

That was one of the things that drove me away from Windows. Coming to my desk in the morning to see my computer on not sleeping because it woke up to apply updates or some other shit pissed me off.

Just one of the many ways that with Windows, my computer didn’t feel like I was in control of it anymore.

With Linux, I’m in complete control and it feels so good. Also knowing that I’m not giving out data just by using my computer is great. And FOSS is just cool.

It clearly wasn’t a difficult choice for Ole Kegseth.

People love to prove how “smart” they are. It’s extremely reliable.

I unfortunately still mindlessly scroll Facebook when I’m bored. When I see some kind of obvious rage bait, people will trip over themselves to comment about it, even if a thousand other people have already said what they came to say.

The kind of things I’m taking about are like this. Completely mispronouncing a common word in every single video. The kind of word that no one ever mispronounces. Or someone opens their refrigerator to get something out of it and there’s random items conspicuously placed in it that obviously didn’t belong there.

The kind of things that anyone with half a brain knows is purposefully done. And yet thousands of people will shit themselves trying to get the comments opened so they can correct the record.

Is there a JD memes community?

I agree. HDD to SSD was a huge leap. NVME was a small, sometimes noticable upgrade. Past that, I can’t tell a difference. And it’s hard to get excited about the hardware updates when the software can’t use it.

I have never once been about to tell a real world difference in SSD speeds. Until OS I/O code improves, faster SSDs don’t excite me.

Fucking Susan Collins.

I don’t get that at all. To me it feels like there’s so much progress happening right now.

COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.

Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, you chose to be confidently incorrect about this?

The fucking Okta verify app and its “cannot find trusted route to whatever” error popup that covers the approve button that cannot be dismissed except for just waiting for it to go away. Love that.

Oh! I finally got tired of swiping away the “setup express login” or whatever they call it and set it up. It’s not any fucking faster! In fact, it’s slower! It’s the same process, but now I have to also use my fingerprint at the end. And there’s enough of a lag that I often forget I have to do that so I’m starting at the login screen waiting for the approval to go through.

And, I have to use the thing twice to get on GitHub or the corporate VPN. It is so fucking tedious and stupid.

A modern version of Shattered Galaxy

Same gameplay with modern graphics, QOL, and new UI.

Aphantasia. I have it, too.
