At some point after we have reduced pollution significantly, we’re gonna have to clean up all the trash we already put out there. Microorganisms can regrow, but plastic can’t, so we just need to find the maximum collection speed that the environment can sustain.

Thanks, wouldn’t have seen it without your message

Mine has been rusted shut for ages. I wish you could disassemble and clean them

I once heard that some printers print (almost) invisible yellow dots on pages, containing data which helps authority track down whoever printed the page. That might be a risk if the data is really sensitive.

Automated TPM2 LUKS setup might be the one thing that can get me to switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE.

The only thing I really miss about visual studio is the automatic profiler. Everything else just felt archaic, bloated, slow, and unintuitive. Adding one line in cmake often does the same thing as clicking through five submenus which never once got updated since 2012.

Took me a while before I realized this isn’t Star Wars cosplay

Is the right photo real? I can’t believe how my country keeps blindly supporting Israel…

Same thing applies to coffee maker / espresso machine tanks. I found a nasty surprise in mine recently…

I once discovered that my moka pot had an industrial grease stuck to it in an area that is almost impossible to clean. I used it so many times before finding that out…

SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

I miss the days of barely functioning SLI

My swiss army knife’s mechanism has been completely seized up for years now. I hate that there is no obvious way to take it apart for cleaning.

Please don’t lump me in with the iPad kids.

Fair point.

No self-respecting UI designer would ever want to work on that dinosaur of a codebase. The GIMP team is simply unable to do what Blender did, even if they made the UI their number one priority.

Isn’t C just wonderful?

The worst thing you can do in non-unsafe Rust is perform an out-of-bounds indexing operation, or anything else that panics. The error you get tells you the panic’s exact location in the source code, down to the line and column. Meanwhile, C and C++ either don’t produce an error at all when accessing uninitialized memory (which is arguably the worst behavior), or it segfaults with zero extra info.

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations, and those must always be clearly marked.

Except that many other languages have proven that C++ is simply terrible at providing meaningful errors.

Both GIMP 3 RC1 and FreeCAD 1.0 in the same month, damn
