I'm pretty sure he already handed out a ban for someone who submitted a slop PR.

He's been pretty clear that he's only interested in clean code additions. It doesn't really matter how you achieved your PR so much so thst it's quality code with a useful purpose for the kernel.

webp will always be funny to me because it was made exclusively by Google to reduce lossy file size for faster HTTP transfer, but then when JPEGXL was released with better lossy compression and the ability to load graphical data progressively by quality instead of line by line bitstream, Google switched to AVIF instead and doubled down on even more lossy compression because they just want to save cloud costs and don't care about image quality.

I don't know why, but I really like this answer lol

Elite Dangerous's Frame Shift Drive having both modes of operation with the standard Alcubierre drive which allows you to do FTL by contracting spacetime around your ship (hence frame shift) or near instant system travel by creating a wormhole to travel through.

The catch is that while supercruise has been around for a long time and works just as you expect, the wormhole hyperjump is new reverse engineered tech by captured Thargoid technology.

The drive uses mass to guide the ship to the destination, meaning it can only work by locking onto primary stars of a system. You can only make wormhole jumps between systems but must use supercruise to get to where you actually need within the system.

Also that mass affects its operation:

Being close to any mass will affect the FSD charge time. While being next to a heavier ship will merely make it charge slower, the FSD will get mass-locked should the ship be next to something extremely massive (station, asteroid field, etc.) and will be unable to charge at all.

Guys they're obviously parodying the Dinsey star wars reboot by reusing the same jokes /s

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure phillips head originated for use in screwable rivets and large screws on automobiles where it was implied that the screw action was a one time deal using your hydraulic/pneumatic screw gun on the assembly line.

If you were to unscrew it, you probably should be using a fresh screwed rivet to replace it.

Of course those days are long gone because of superior non screwed riveting and pretty much everything removable in automotive being replaced by hex for the same reason of phillips being easily strippable.

The standard just stuck around because it was cheap.

Jackal because anubis and you can actually change it fairly easy without paying the monthly $50 commercial fee, but they ask that you don't.

They're using weaboo branding to hostage enterprise users into funding the project lol

If you dual boot, install on a separate dedicated drive of possible.

Saves a lot of headache with windows boot part, especially since you're installing after already having Linux installed.

Usually after a big update, stupid windows overwrites EFI boot partition to windows bootloader instead of grub, which makes you crack out a USB to reinstall grub so you can access your linux system again.

Doesn't happen that often but still a pain.

20 years of hoarding CVEs down the drain.

Now they'll never be able to gg ez their way into any country and will have to actually use their bribery budget to get more implants lol.

The only thing that would effectively work would be mass loaded vinyl which you would need to cover all 6 sides of your room in, which is usually done before putting up the walls because its a heavy rubbery fabric.

And it's expensive.

Everything else is acoustic stuff which would really only prevent sound from escaping the room too easily.

Would probably go for the soundproof headphones like others have said. Cheap and effective.

IIRC it showed up once before when the app ID was first added, but it had no associated store or news page.

Despite the rammagedon steam machine and probably inevitable steam frame prices, I think this is probably the coolest development Valve has invested into since its basically Waydroid + FEX which removes the dependency on libhoudini/libndk which would make a lot of mobile games playable on PC using ARM translation.

One such proven example being fortnite lol: https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/2115

 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but there was this really funny handrawn meme of Wayland taking on XOrg/X11 that I'm pretty sure was posted in this community but deleted because its no longer in my saved posts.

Does anyone have a hard copy or the original author?

For more context, Xorg was depicted as a bearded dude sitting in a throne with an XFCE mouse as his pet.

And I think Wayland was maybe Dio or another JoJo character.

Author also made other sketches and linux memes, but I can't remember because it was probably ~2 years ago now.

 

I would have posted an article/picture version but ONN didn't write one lol.
