The "Forgetting How Your Own Code Works" is real. I've looked at code, thought to myself "what fcking idiot wrote this garbage", only to see my own name next to it. It's a very humbling experience

Emptiness Machine sounds cool. Happy to see they're going again and creating more stuff.

I was just about to post the same thing. I've been using Linux for almost 10 years. I never really understood the folder layout anyway into this detail. My reasoning always was that /lib was more system-wide and /usr/lib was for stuff installed for me only. That never made sense though, since there is only one /usr and not one for every user. But I never really thought further, I just let it be.

I also eat pretty much the same breakfast every day. For lunch I can vary what's on the bread and the type of bread. That's just how things are here. It's not the nicest, but it saves a lot of time and money and can also be quite nice

I try to steer as many people as I know to Signal, but I don't want to be the type of person who accepts no compromise so I also use a bunch of others. Whatsapp is the most common, as pretty much everyone here in the Netherlands uses it. I used to use Telegram, but nowadays I trust it less than Whatsapp and all my Telegram chats have moved to Signal. SMS is only there for backup and older people who don't use other apps. And Discord is there for people who want their messages to never be read, because that app is a dumpster fire that constantly makes me miss messages.

Here in the Netherlands a lot of people just eat sandwiches. I usually take them with me to work. Not a lot of effort

Yeah same, but with like 2K hours. At some point I was Grand Champion 1 or something. I could probably win against 2 noobs without me using jump and boost, but in the few moments I played against pros I got equally clapped. It's insane to me how much better pro players are.

After Epic bought it the whole game slowly went to shit though. Psyonix once treated the game and its community as their baby, but it just became a soulless money printer without any decent innovation. So I barely play anymore, even though the core game is ultimately still fun.

Yeah I don't really feel the difference either. Intriguing. Whether I'm wet from the shower or from sweat, it feels about the same to me. It's only after it's drying that there's an obvious difference to me

Maybe the phrase "white ones are better" triggered some moderation bot?

Sometimes I look at the memes around here and wonder wtf y'all are doing. Like, neither my code nor the code at the place I work at are perfect. But I don't think I've ever seen a merge do this. Maybe some of the most diverged merges temporarily had a lot of errors because of some refactoring, but then it was just a few find + replaces away from being fixed again. But those were merges where multiple teams had been working on both the original and the fork for years and even then it was usually pretty okay.

Not everyone is a native English speaker. You get what they're saying, stop being so rude

Signed. Let's hope they get this conversion therapy shit banned.
