With just little bit of formatting, it would communicate the information infinitely better. Why don’t people make the minimal effort, once, when not doing leads to each and everyone having to figure out what the fuck it’s actually trying to say.

Apologies. I’m grumpy after a three hour meeting.

What a coincidence, I’m currently learning GTK4/Libadwaita :>

The two hardest problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

A recent video I watched by Stand Up Maths about an off by one error 1200 years in the making:

(before it was Kool, KDE was a reference to CDE, the Common Desktop Environment)

This sounds like it was written for a medical research journal.

Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

Is there a D?

Of course. Great, another D in programming.

And this is why I can’t take Linux seriously.

Never let programmers name things 😁

Yea no kidding. Gnome is pronounced Guhnome, Mate DE is pronounced Matay, Open Suse is susuh not soos, and Qt is to be pronounced as “cute” instead of just… Q-T. Many such cases.

Wait for real? I don’t think I’ve heard many say those terms out loud, i pronounce them in my head Nome, Mate, Soos, and q-t

Wait why didn’t they keep unpacking the recursive acronym further? GNU’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix I’d say that’s a pretty good amount although if there’s a mathematical way of formulating the unpacking of acronyms in a text I’d like to see the that repeated until infinity.

i tried that and the stack overflowed

Fair enough.
