The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libflour-3.2.3-23 : Depends: crackers-2.52-29 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

So it’s basically doing nothing and lying about it. 😆

Programmatically, what does the kernel actually do with data sent to /dev/null? Put it in a temp buffer and just delete it?

START ME UP!

I found a “< 0” comparison instead of a “<= 0” in a conditional check once for someone else’s audio library I was using which caused random lockups in the decoding loop only ever so often when decoding MP3s. It was for a function that removed ID3 data on the fly while decoding and then checked for more to strip out. Took a day to finally pinpoint what was happening, test my change, and then notified the author, who immediately fixed it. It felt great.

You don’t gotta be a rockstar 10x developer working on 50 projects at once to help out.

Is this allowed? Are we allowing them to do that again?

What do we do, go back to ragecomics and lolcats? Or does 4chan own those too?

What’s so funny? This is how we played multiplayer Doom in 94.

We used to say 4GB is enough. And before that, a couple hundred MB. I’m staying ahead from now on, so I threw in 64GB. That oughtta last me for another 3/4 of a decade. I’m tired of doing the upgrade race for 30 years and want to be set for a while.

I can literally trace my current Ryzen PC’s lineage like the ship of Theseus to an Athlon system I built in 2002. A replacement GPU here. Replacement mobo there. CPU here, etc.

Never experienced Slackware so I can’t compare, sorry. When I got into Linux in like, 2002, I was using Mandrake before they died, and didn’t hear much of Slackware at the time.

I had a friend that was a couple years older that was running it on a home web server though. Back when people ran home web servers. This dude would sit there and use the keyboard the entire time even in OSes like Windows, he memorized every goddamn shortcut and macro that exists. Had a dusty mouse next to his system almost never being used. Probably just to satisfy the BIOS self test.

I use it because it feels like the most Linux-ey of Linuxes (Linuxii??). I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s like, no bullshit, just Linux. Here’s the Lego pieces, go have fun.

You misspelled Windows 3.11 for Workgroups.

Whoa, did I happen to miss something 30 years ago? What did they do?

The systemd debate is basically dead.

But the Super Nintendo vs. Sega Genesis/Megadrive debate rages on.

Yeah but with Steam Deck you’re not forced to use it. It’s an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

No, it’s great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.

You don’t even have it game on it if you don’t want to. Use it as a server 😂

Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens

Valve: eh, put a fuckin’ normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.
