Before following, please note:
*** Opinions are my own and do not represent those of other projects or organizations I may be part of.
*** Fascism, racism, antisemitism, as well as any other kind of bigotry NOT TOLERATED! You are entering a bigotry-FREE zone
*** MDNI/18+ accounts also NOT TOLERATED!
*** In case you are legally blind or fully blind: I try not to boost images without alt-text. As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it. Thanks! ^^ (if your image does not contain alt text and I boost it anyway, I may add alt-text as a reply, you are encouraged to add it to the image directly or improve upon it)
*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

The Psychotic Network Ferret

People often ask me, "how did you learn all of this stuff?"

And quite frankly, at one point in my life, I did, " ls /usr/bin"

and then read the man page for every single fucking thing in there.

and that attitude never stopped. Hell, that attitude existed for years before that moment. I read everything I can get my hands on.

But, I digress.

A few years later, I knew a thing or two about UNIX.

I read the fucking manual.

When I buy a new refrigerator, I read the fucking manual.

When I get a new stove, I read the fucking manual.

When my home's furnace stopped working on Dec 24 2012, I blew the technician on the phone's mind away because I had already read the fucking manual and knew what the flashing lights meant. I didn't have a fix from the manual, but based on my description, he lead me to a basic short term solution, got my house warm again, and saved me about $700 in emergency repairs.

Before I ever touched a computer, I was reading the fucking instructions.

I realize it is now high and mighty to place ourselves above end users who.... don't know how to RTFM.

But seriously.... don't sell yourself short.

RTFM will always pay out.

@mirabilos @bendaubney @hl Honestly not as bad as upgrading your whole computer while shutting down with no user consent at all

@mirabilos @bendaubney @hl Oh, that's not updating while shutting down then. And I see that kind of stuff in non-systemd as well, some daemon just taking a while to stop

@mirabilos @hl @bendaubney not last time I checked, it doesn't force updates on you on shut down? :p Or maybe some exotic distro does this for some reason heh

Progress on dEQP-GLES3.functional.transform_feedback! Down to just 7 failures without MESA_GLSL_DISABLE_IO_OPT=true - a huge improvement!

But the real breakthrough? We now have hardware-based transform feedback working ๐ŸŽ‰

@karolherbst @oblomov I mean, there are plenty more git hosting offers that are much more worth their time, such as Codeberg, sourcehut, etc

@karolherbst @oblomov It should be the non-AI-using engineers that should leave by themselves without github telling them what to do.

GitHub has always been a for-profit platform, and it is definitely not acting in the best interests of their users, only according to profit margins and such
