Strange hill to die on. A quick search makes it obvious that credit cards use cryptography.

Hey dude, cryptography != cryptocurrency. Cryptography just says "yes, this person made this transaction, I am sure of it as a computer because this math checks out".

God that was so fucking stupid. I hated it so much since I usually buy one of those 48 rolls packages to last me awhile. Well, I happened to be down to a few rolls when the panic happened, so I looked like one of those assholes.

God I hate people. Why is that the thing everyone panic buys?

My first like real programming job, in 2019, version control was "download the project from the share drive, update the code, then add your new code back to the share with todays date in the folder name".

Everyone, except 1 dude liked SVN or mercurial, wanted the boss to just get us on git. It became the general standard for a reason. None of us liked the version control system we had, but HDD space was cheap so the boss wasn't that concerned.

I legit learned of it around when it released from gamingcirclejerk making fun of chuds for calling it woke or whatever. Next time I heard of it, it was the shut down announcement.

And on a more subjective note, a lot of people aren’t really into the way that Linus behaves on camera. I’m in this camp. I find that he often comes off pretty arrogant and belittling when he’s interacting with his staff on camera.

I remember on the old site years ago saying that Linus came off as a bit of a douchebag and being downvoted to hell for it. Like, I get having relationships with friends where we're always bullying each other a bit, but it never seemed to me like he was ever on the recieving end of that.

Hi, jewish american here. I recognize Palistine, and I have a hard time understanding why "safe for jews" and "recognizing palistine" are mutually exclusive. Could you elaborate on that? Just so you know any answer involving Isreal I'm just going to call antisemetic since conflating jews and Isreal is antisemitic in the same way conflating China and chinese people is racist.

25K units sold TOTAL. 10 on steam, 15 on psn.

Some quick math, steam takes a 30% cut (10k * 40 * .7 = 280k), and since this is a sony published game sony got to keep 100% on their platform (15k * 40 = 600k). Sony made less than 1 mill in revenue on this game which allegedly cost 100M to develop.

Techy person, you'd really have to fuck up that install bad to brick your computer. Like, I think the worst you could do might just be breaking your install drive and that would probaby just be regular hardware failure.

USPS does NOT fuck around with mail crimes. Reporting it to them means they'll bring the hammer down.

As someone who did swap theor steam deck's M.2, I really wish it were a 2280 instead since those drives can hold much more. The largest 2230 I could find was only 2 TB.

I'm sure all 15 Yoopers are livid. /s

Yeah, lansing itsn't the best location for the capital given the state is cut in half by lake Michigan-Huron.
