  • Forget small phones… I want bigger phones! Why do we keep making phones that appear to be made to appease people with small pockets‽

    Bigger screens are better! Give me a great big tri-fold phone with a week-long battery (as long as it’s under 10lbs it won’t be a problem!). Actually, fuck that: Where are our backpack phones? We used to have them in WW2 and now we have the technology to make them even better!

    I want the power to unfurl my monster phone to turn it into a portable 3-monitor gaming rig. Make it run regular Linux too so I can actually automate things and decide where I want to store my stuff (not in Google or Apple’s clouds!).

    Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

    They’re all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

    …which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing, necessarily 🤷






  • Could be a bug in Nautilus though it’s so mature now that would be strange. I’d report it to their repo (don’t have the link and I’m on my phone but it should be easy to find).

    ext4 supports various filename encodings (simultaneously, even!) but sometimes when you copy a file from one destination to another in a batch with mixed encodings you can end up with situations like this. Especially from within a GUI.

    Does the problem occur when you copy each file one by one or only in batch?





  • Oh I can explain this: You were born with a destiny that doesn’t make sense anymore because the gods had to make some changes to the timeline. Sounds simple enough but some people have actually been given theirs or someone else’s prophecy so now they have to make it happen… Somehow.

    To resolve this situation they often have to come up with clever solutions to make sure the prophecy still happens in a way that the (new) timeline can handle. Such as “experiencing plague” and “getting caught rolling with a naked woman in public”.




  • without type safety your code is no longer predictable or maintainable

    This sounds like someone who’s never worked on a large Python project with multiple developers. I’ve been doing this for almost two decades and we never encounter bugs because of mismatched types.

    For reference, the most common bugs we encounter are related to exception handling. Either the code captured the exception and didn’t do the right thing (whatever that is) in specific situations or it didn’t capture the exception in the right place so it bubbles up waaaaay too high up the chain and we end up with super annoying troubleshooting where it’s difficult to reproduce or difficult to track down.

    Also, testing is completely orthogonal to types.
