Compared to rants Linus is famous for, this is polite.

Forums got replaced by reddit and stackoverflow, which both turned to shit after gaining dominance.

Stackoverflow still can answer most of the Linux administration questions that do not involve writing a custom piece of software.

I am deliberately opening all links in an external browser so that I can keep scrolling while the link loads in the background. I wish most websites were fast, but apparently 20 years of network speed improvement means they can add more crap on top of content. 10 seconds load time is apparently average.

When you get into electrochemistry, the answer becomes complicated. Positively charged molecules move too, and in semiconductors there's such thing as a 'hole' - an absence of electron in a densely packed electron field - which carries charge as if it were a real particle.

Both sides win, obviously, and get a special participation prize. It's better to specify who profited the most.

I have a waist-high CD rack with music and games that's collecting dust for 15 years. If I finally throw it away, and someone picks it up from a garbage bin, will I become a pirate too?

Buy an ACS 712 ammeter, the integrated board should not cost more than $3, and you don't need any special high voltage isolation, it comes with 10 A terminals. You'll get a decently accurate current reading, multiply by your socket voltage to get power in watts (120 or 220, which is actually 240 volts nowadays, you should know), but you need to read it like 300-400 times per second for AC. Just beware that even though manufacturer says the chip itself is rated for 30 A, your terminals will become melted plastic at around 15 A, and you won't even fit the wires rated for more than 15 A into them.

Imagine if Arm Holdings would acquire Loongson. Their combined CPU architecture would be called
L O O O O N G A R M.

Hosting your own server had never been easier. You can get a 'forever free' VPS from Google, Oracle, and supposedly IBM (I've never tried them).

YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

YYYY-MM-DD OR DEATH

It's ultimately a question of money. Older guys with software engineering degrees and fancy salaries can spend their weekends doing free community service in the form of open-source development. Younger people have to worry about job and rent and bills, they simply don't have that kind of free time.

Add to that the growing complexity of the software. Something that could be done by an university student before, like writing an OS from scratch, won't be nearly as useful as it would in the '90-s, because it was already done before, now you have multiple OSes to choose from. And joining an existing software project is hit-or-miss, some are inclusive and some are an old boy club where you need to know the secret rules.

When you are losing the war you started.

Blame gays.

When your policies fail.

Blame gays.

When your government is less popular than cancer.

Blame gays.

When you are getting mass protests.

Blame Jews. But Jews have nukes, oops. Then blame gays!

More like, take a bunch of screenshots of vibe coded website, and treat that as design document while rewriting the whole thing from scratch with clean architecture.

It's not the same without two little screws jangling about

The only truly universal solution

Electron was discovered in 1897. If you own a textbook on chemistry which is older than that, put it up on Ebay in the antiques category.
