Linus was a bit of a trendsetter what comes to standing desks. In an interview he also commented on the walls, saying the paint colour is also used in mental institutions because it has a very calming effect on the human mind. (Goodness knows Linus needs all the chill he can muster.)

Well, technically, Twitter has employees, so in very strict sense, they're "manned". However, thanks to these weird incomprehensible things called "current legislation" and "capitalism", no employee is in fact personally responsible for the fuckups. And neither is the company as a whole! ...Isn't this great?

I guess the web search messed up then. You should search for biology stuff! Not computer science stuff! Turtles are very computer science related creatures, but there's more to them!

Turtle Mode is actually a complicated thing! It's often implemented in two ways: Cryptodira are the turtles that just pull their heads in, while Pleurodira kind of tuck their head inside sideways.

But it gets even more complicated with certain ancient turtle species. For example, we have the snapping turtles. Technically cryptodira, but they don't really enough shell to cover themselves. Not that they need to because they'll fucking go snappity snap on everything on range. Or we have things like the megacephalum which again is a cryptodira turtle but probably can't retract the head because did we mention it's called the Megacephalum.

EDIT: Forgot: snapping turtle copypasta

Site that lets you build a contact info page, such as a list of links to various social media pages (some even not operated by Meta). As I recall it was originally made because Instagram only lets you have one link on your profile. Incidentally, Instagram doesn't like them very much and has banned it before.

I like to solve everyday problems through programming. My primary way of doing it is just Python on Windows right now, but Linux does make programming languages a bit easier to access. (And most of the stuff I write would easily run on Linux too.)

Every time I go "damn, this is more complicated/boring than it needs to be and the manual handling is so unnecessary, I wish I could automate this", I start making a script.

For example, I'm an amateur photographer, so I have scripts for dealing with photos. One is a photo importer/backup tool, because I didn't trust the importers in the apps to do it right (Adobe trauma). I'm writing scripts for report purposes. One script I wrote puts all of the photos I have on the map.

I've seen Americans start explaining how the geography in Spaghetti Westerns doesn't make sense, so we in Europe have to go "oh, but you see, the film doesn't take place in real America, it takes place in America of myth and legend."

Sir Cumference the sphere

Oh yes, and the monastery near Camelot also had a nearly spherical oblate

I don't want to be condescending. Dolphin Wiki has an article about ripping games. You have to Google it. Or something. I can't give a link because 🎶 Nintendo has orbital lazors 🎶 /bill wurz

For illustration work at least. Photoshop is not the best for illustrations either, almost all illustration-focused apps easily blow it out of the water.

I dunno, most of my experience from Docker comes from docker compose, and it's "put this thing in a file and edit it and then run docker compose up -d".

So if anything, it's best illustrated with the old meme of a dog typing on a computer going "I have no idea what I'm doing".

I remember it so clearly. "Ooh, multiple desktops. It'll take forever until Windows gets this." (It was 1996. Newbies should try messing with fvwm. Now that was configurable.)

It's one of those things that make me say "OK my parents MAY have a few of those in their garden. Gotta see them to be sure, maybe. But it was a thing in that ill defined era maybe, so, you know, maybe."
