I suspect this attitude of “read the fucken manuel” comes from when tooling was simpler and you could actually read all the manuals (or buy a book) to learn every small bit of it. Today, I’d be surprised if someone actually read all the Windows, .Net, and Powershell docs before attempting to write a small script.

Heck, even simpler things like Python have massive docs beneath every layer of them. You don’t learn everything from the ground up anymore, only the relevant parts to your use case.

Crono Cross, the PS1 spiritual successor of Crono Trigger, has such an amazing soundtrack too.

Also, the Witcher 3, such a perfect soundtrack.

We also want Proton to become better, and the survey is anonymous and very transparent. I always participate gladly.

I suppose common users will have marginal improvements, as we don’t move a lot of data. High load because long I/O waits in VM farms is a big deal, though, so this is actually great for companies with self-hosted VDI.

Sincerely agree. Explicit is better then implicit, that’s a general engineering axiom.

Instead of overloading and making the next maintainer hunt for overloads, a clearly named function that does the critical steps would make the code immensely more maintainable. C++ is C gone wild.

Unfortunately, corporations have bastardized the term “open” (looking at you, OpenAI) trying to get the credit Open Source software has earned.

Libre was a good choice to emphasize “free as in speech”.

Okay, it’s not a dire wolf, but it might qualify as a concerning wolf, don’t you think?

Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it. The tariffs might give it the pretext it needed to go ahead with the idea, because the alternative would be sacrificing some of its abundant profit margins.

Edward Snowden doing GPU reviews? This timeline is becoming weirder every day.

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you're being careful, and know what you're doing. You won't run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you're downloading new releases immediately, it's likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won't employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Probably because beautiful melons had it easy, while the ugly melons had to work on their personality and talent to make up for the shunning they got from the melon community. Big Melon always presents attractive melons on media, making it harder for ugly melons.
