Is that a 'Scots are cheap and greedy' joke?

By induction that means either nobody can rebuke code or someone who can rebuke code can do that from the day they're born.

OpenSUSE uses systemd-boot for its GRUB2 BLS implementation (< https://news.opensuse.org/2024/10/08/grub2-bls/ >). It's really awesome because it lets me boot from Btrfs snapshots on a fully LUK

Didn't the Oblivion NPC he contribute to get a bunch of features to help him deal with the problems he faced playing the game? I never met the man, but I think he'd be appreciative of the studies if they help people who suffer fro

GNU/Linux gamers are always decrying GOG, saying they won't buy stuff from them because Galaxy doesn't run on GNU/Linux, now we're getting people saying GOG porting Galaxy to GNU/Linux is bad!? By Taranis, GOG

'China tea', yeah because there's no difference between, say, any given wulong and pu'er.

Arch, Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE also use nullobsi's fork as Cantata's upstream, so I'm guessing it's the de facto upstream/origin now.

I like using Cantata, a Qt-based MPD client. Because it's Qt it fits in nicely on my Plasma desktop and because it's an MPD client it is quite good at keeping my collection organised. I do have my default music player set to VLC b

Here in Belgium voting is mandatory, so the clowns we have are who the public decided were the best candidates. The only excuse we can make is that single-vote list-PR is worse than ranked voting.

I've been meaning to try programming with AI, but it's a bit tricky to manage the maze of models which one can download and run. I know one can pull down qwen3 or starcoder2 with ollama, but there's multiple variations and I

An itch.io API which ticks all the boxes for the Heroic Games Launcher. The Itch app is pretty terrible and Heroic is fairly okay, so it'd be nice if I could manage my collection like I do my GOG collection.

I would like to add my personal bugbear of 'less/fewer'. 'Fewer' is such a nice word, it feels so pleasant to say, it would be nice if it saw more use.

Isn't it dramatic irony when we, the audience, know that the first sentence is counterproductive to the point being made by the author while the author isn't aware? Maybe it depends on how meta you want to be about considering the

GOG's anti-DRM stance makes it the #1 store in my book. Yeah, Galaxy not being available is a bit meh, but between being able to just download the installers and back them up as well as Heroic having first-class support, I have no prob

I used to like Xfce until KDE 4 won me over. Since Xfce switched to GTK 3, though... if you put Thunar and the Xfce system settings next to each other they don't look like they're part of the same project and that's a shame.

LXQt is great, except for the fact it can only do 'regular, italic, bold, bold italic' for font weights even when a font supports medium (my preferred font weight, regular just seems so dainty now I've gotten used to medium).

I kinda (but not really because I don't much care about tokens and don't really know anything about models) wonder about Common Lisp. There's probably far fewer examples of CL code in any training sets than Clojure or Python

If you wanted to recommend a distro which is a bit more 'out there' (so not just the quadfecta of Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint), I'd much sooner go with Mageia or OpenSUSE than an Arch derivative.

In 2012 I borked my Windows 7 install by messing with the registry. I then used an Ubuntu live disk to back up my data. Then I reinstalled Windows 7, but when I couldn't access the internet because I hadn't installed the ethernet
