Grammar Nazi chiming in:

Too meaning ‘also’

We can use too to mean ‘also’. It is more common than also in informal situations. We normally use it at the end of the clause.

In short answers in informal situations, we normally say me too, not I too.

In more formal situations, we can use too immediately after the subject.

Help, Debian has libbutton only in 1.4.3 and libdosomething is not in my repo. I compiled libdosomething from source, but now it needs libbutton >= 2.4.1 and compiling that version of libbutton fails, as my GCC and make are too old and incompatible!

I already tried it on my other PC, but that isn’t based on glibc, which makes all these dependencies even worse…

In theory? Nothing.

In practice? If the court rules, that a ban is justified, it not only rules, that the AfD is unconstitutional and thus banned, but also all future groups that can be seen as its successors will be banned.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. Yesterday I was trying to debug my reverse proxy setup for a new app and why it wouldn’t work.

Well, if you configure it to route shinyNewApp.example.com to your app, but then always access sihnyNewApp.example.com with your browser…

My favorite is definitely that poor hedgehog, LOL

As I said over and over again: my biggest pet peeve with Linux is that there are often several ways to accomplish something but many are somewhat distribution specific and not really standardized.

Who doesn’t love to find a tool that has install instructions like:

Start by installing all required packages with sudo apt get package1, package2,... then clone this repository and…

Just to realize that a) you’re not running anything Debian based and b) you first step is now to find out how these packages are named in your package manager.

Or tutorials that tell you to do X and you only find out, that they’re assuming (but not telling you) you’re using Debian and some old package versions that now have a completely new syntax in their configuration, so that either the tutorial doesn’t work or you maybe even f up something by changing values that you shouldn’t touch.

Best is, of you find help in a distribution specific forum/wiki/… But not all problems can be found there

No, that’s German for “the comment”

Wait if that’s the most ridiculous part, then… Does the smartphone even know when it’s switched on or off?

Saw the pic and immediately wanted to suggest a PR at misbrands - but then I read the text. Nice work.

Freedom to Breed may not necessarily mean that you may not have any kids. It might also mean that $amount of kids is mandatory, though…

You wouldn’t download a Starbucks,…

I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…

I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.

I mean, you could learn some things from using current LLMs

I love it, when Devs anticipate that players might break their levels and reward them for it.

E.g. when I played Supraland, I had it happen several times, that I managed to get to places that were obviously not intended to be reachable - you know the drill: Low poly terrain, low res textures, holes in the terrain, invisible walls everywhere,… You keep exploring that wasteland, carefully managing to not fall of, go around a corner and… There’s a chest there waiting for you.

Or some of the coin stacks in Super Mario Odyssey, that you’ll never really see or collect, until you do some crazy trick jumps or so to get on top of $building.

I own a small USB stick that acts as a camera. But in reality it’s just a HDMI input on the other end. Now beat that with software

I connected it once, then set it in the router as „enable child protection -> disable internet access“, gave it a static IP address and also blacklisted that address on my pi hole so that DNS won’t work for it. Then I immediately disconnected it. The router recognizes the TV with its MAC address when it gets reconnected and immediately bans internet access when it gets reconnected.

Another example of a false friend:

German: Bekommen (to get), English: Become (werden)

Hence a joke I often heard while learning English:

Guest: “I become a steak.”

Waiter: “Well, I do hope you won’t, but I could ask the chef, if you insist…”

I just host my own searxng instance. Bonus: I get to tweak the config to my liking.

While I’m totally with you, many people may be affected by the orange one, even if their not from the US. US politics influences a lot of places globally.

Also that wallpaper…
