I was ready to type "just fire QA and have the LLM do it" then I read the last paragraph.

I'm hoping this is the line that executives won't cross

Hate to be a downer here buuuut....

Debian here. I used Mint after ditching Ubuntu around 2010. For some reason, when I upgraded the drives in my internal RAID1 from 2TB to 14TB a fresh Mint only recognized 999GB... Ubuntu too (tried just out of curiosity). Grandma Debian recognized the full size so I installed and stayed. That was 2022ish. No complaints.

It is a old (2013?) mobo / firmware RAID, not a "true" RAID, and those are known to be a bit odd.

I teach a programming class to young adults (18-25, usually) and was flabbergasted last semester when I realized that a couple of them didn't know what a directory hierarchy/file system was.

My suspicion is that the ease of use angle of "just tell me what you want and I'll find it" led to this. Not saying ease of use is bad, but I expected more from people wanting to learn programming.

And I'm over here meticulously organizing my music library into folders by band, album, year, etc...o the humanity.

I just want to say that you're a MVP for seeding that much for that long. Lots of TBs up there - you've helped out a ton of people.

Thank you.

"you're really good at this and enjoy it so let's get you into middle management where you won't do it anymore and will hate your life"

Yep.

Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

/overly pedantic differentiation of poisonous vs venomous

I tried to recover my Mojang account and migrate it three times. Each attempt gets a stock response asking for certain info (receipt, email, username). When I provide this, I get a response from a different support user asking for the same thing I just provided. After three to five back and forths (with the same questions and the same answers) I get busy, frustrated, and leave it for a few weeks.

Once I have time, I start over and the exact same thing repeats again.

I wrote it off as a loss last year with an asterisk of "another reason to fucking hate Microsoft"

“Even before birth, all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory,” Chief Justice Tom Parker wrote.

That's how it looks to me.

First frame is a centrifuge that spins samples at high speed to separate the components in them (I think that's the purpose, not a scientist). But, the samples are on one side making it unbalanced.

Second frame is turning the centrifuge on.

Third frame is a funeral.

I hear that if it's unbalanced, bad things happen, because you're spinning an unbalanced rotor at high speeds.

I honestly was coming to check the comments to see if anyone had experience with it so I could ask how bad it is.

The comic is insinuating that if you do this, you die.

EDIT: an unbalanced weight on a motor is how the vibration function in your phone works... Along with other things that need to vibrate (yes, those things). At least, that's how they used to work.

This article posted in this community is so damn literal... Good job.

My neighbors have a turkey. Every time I walk through the kitchen I look out the window to see if she's in our yard. If so, I run out to pet her.

Also, if I'm working outside she trots over to see what's going on and, of course, I have to stop to pet her for 15 minutes.

She just walks up to me and sits down expecting pets.

Wow, such transparency... that's awesome. I wonder (hope) if there will be a massive spike in donations in June.

/me sets alarm to remind me to donate after work since I keep thinking about it while I'm away.

Should have put a H on it so everyone would know.

The sad part is now the thief will get all the hornet honey : /

Inshallah is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.

Fun fact, they short changed the horse:

Over a short period of time, they calculate, a horse can exert up to 14.9 horsepower.
