I guess one person’s “clunky” is another person’s “crisp”. You want precise, pixel-perfect controls for games that hard.

They already said that Legend of Zelda was “too old-school and clunky” for them, so it’s a good bet they’ll hate these, too.

Leetspeak is older than that.

I love how it would’ve taken much fewer words to just explain what you meant.

I don’t recall any actual person saying they had an issue with it before corporations started changing it though

I have heard people complain about it.

I always thought it was a precautionary measure more than likely thought up by a committee looking for exactly this sort of thing…

What makes you think that they have a committee like that?

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

I think they’re just uncomfortable with the word “master”, and that seems completely reasonable to me, especially when they’re people from a group which has been subjected to slavery.

Aliasing cat or any other ubiquitous shell utility to a replacement is a mistake. Garuda did this, and it was driving me crazy why cat was giving me errors. Turns out that they had aliased bat to cat, and since bat is a different program, it didn’t work in exactly the same way, and an update had introduced some unexpected behavior.

Drop-in replacements are dumb. Just learn to use a different command.

You can use Ctrl-R and Ctrl-Shift-R to search through your history instead of having to push up a bajillion times.

How is WebP “patent encumbered”? It’s an open format.

What convinced you that it was an obvious lie?

The trick to avoiding recursive functions is to avoid recursive functions.

I use qbittorrent, and it has a function that lets you move the torrent to another location. So, the files will move over, and it doesn’t break the linkage with the client.

ICE put a dildo there,

Is this standard MO

There’s an extension for Firefox called DownThemAll that lets you pause and resume downloads, as well as a bunch of other cool stuff like being able to filter a page of URIs for a filetype and enqueuing them.

Reminder that “git” is not an acronym, so there’s no need to put it in all-caps unless you’re YELLING (which you might be).

That isn’t the problem, though. The reason why Kamala Harris lost isn’t because a bunch of tankies convinced people that voting doesn’t matter. Kamala Harris herself convinced them that voting didn’t matter.

At least vote green or some other third party.

Yes! Alternative parties need your vote! Research all the candidates. You’ll probably find somebody you agree with, at least most of the time. No candidate is perfect, but I can almost always find one who I won’t feel bad about voting for.

I dunno. Simply not voting is such a cop-out, and it isn’t a morally defensible position. It’s part of your responsibility as a citizen.

If you have good candidates, people will show up and vote for them. The problem isn’t with “tankies”. It’s with the Democratic Party sucking ass.

If enough people no show for Mamdani he could still lose.

Is anybody on the left saying that people should sit out this election, though? I think that people who are typically apathetic about voting would actually show up to the polls when somebody like Mamdani is running; that is, somebody who is both good on the issues and is popular. Typically, the politicians who are good on the issues have such small budgets and are so marginalized that nobody knows who they are, so the voters who would support them just stay home. Mamdani managed to pull off the hat-trick of being both a Democratic Socialist and winning a Democratic primary.

the strategy was mostly to get moderate voter who tend to vote Republican to vote for them, not to get moderate Republicans to vote for them. Slightly different, but an important distinction.

What’s the difference? If you’re a moderate voter who votes Republican, then you’re a…moderate Republican. That’s what a moderate Republican is.
