Fuck, I missed the two best times to start

Jim Whitehurst? The guy who sold Red Hat to IBM? Cool, cool, cool. Cool.

Eher ein Zug nach Zug

ngl I kinda wanna eat your insides

Only if they tell this to their auditor tbh

How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.

Let me guess, you belong to the people who call an ananas a pine apple?

Ah, the Asperger’s Zone

Me: I want to play games until I get fat

Konami: yo, there you go

Me: damn, that was a bad idea, I need to go work out in a gym

Konami: I’m way ahead of you

Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).

But you just explained it yourself. Currently there >1 humanoid species on planet “Middle Earth”, but over time there will likely only be 1 for one reason or another (diseases, dominant races doing the good old genocide, etc.)

So either the Enterprise / Federation hasn’t found the planet yet (and it will become the first planet with this many humanoid species on it) or LOTR and ENT simply don’t play at the same time.

Do we know for sure that Star Trek and LOTR don’t play in the same universe?

Products of Chinese companies aren’t really a good alternative for different reasons

They say there are no stupid questions, but this cat just proved them wrong

KHTML/WebKit/Blink has always been built with the intention of many browsers (or anything else that needs a rendering engine) integrating it, thus it’s very easy to do so.

Gecko hasn’t been built with the intention of being integrated into any browser at all. Gecko isn’t integrated into FF either. You integrate the browser into Gecko, not the other way around. It’s closer to building a browser in Electron than to building a browser with the Blink engine.

Scooping ice cream, eh? Gonna have sore muscles all over my body for a week

I think some of us also had hopes that the new CEO would put a leash on Musk and steer Twitter into calmer waters again, but this was just proof that Musk is still doing wtf he wants and the CEO is just there for show. So people have now abandoned their last bit of hope and therefore abandoned T…I mean X as well.

While I haven’t been an active user in a longer time, I’ve still been a very active lurker until Musk took over. By now, I’ve only checked Twitter every now and then when bored, to see what happened (as I mostly used Twitter as some kind of news feeds for stuff I couldn’t easily follow in any other way). But today I started migrating off completely - going through my follow list one by one and finding ways to follow those things (like local police, local town, local zoo, etc.) in other ways.

For some that means slower news, or only the most important news - which kinda sucks, as e.g. local police info were good to have in real time during major events or when there was some protest going on. For some this even means mailing lists, ugh.

And a few I couldn’t replace at all, so I’ll miss out on those news. Sucks, but hopefully those people/entities will provide their news feed through some better means sometime now.

There actually was a short-lived attempt to create a Y window system as a successor to X (before Wayland).

Funnily enough the website is still live, despite no progress in almost 20 years: y-windows.org

X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.

So yea, he’s been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there’s also Tesla Model X.

But you can do a proper uninstall. And the package manager can also give you a list of all files a package will install / installed, so you’ll find stuff even in random places.
