  • Yes, they do... I see it every day on the street while driving home.

  • Yes, that much I know πŸ˜‚.

    And it's completely fair to be honest, a lot of shit depend on that kernel and code. If nothing else, it's not nice if you screw up.

  • Well, let's start with the political issues. Almost every politician here claims that they've never taken a cent from the state, when in fact, they have bluntly stolen, and in some cases, they don't even hide it. This goes regardless of left and right wingers, they're all the same, just different flavors of the same thing. What's worse, they have the courts in their pockets, so their cases never even make it to trial... or if they do, they're given a slap on the wrist, nothing more. Corruption rules here. You don't ask "when can I schedule an MRI scan" because you'll probably be dead by the time your number comes up, you ask "how much do you want to schedule my MRI in the next week".

    Next, we analyze the people. There were truly intelligent people here, people that you could make interesting conversations with for hour Unfortunatelly, one of two things happened to them. They either died or moved abroad. Basically the only ones left now are the party cock suckers, cuz they get to be on roll to get a state job (you practically can't get fired from state employment here, you'd have to burn down the office building or something like that to get fired). As you probably presume, these people are not very bright and mostly care about the basic animal needs: eat, sleep, get fucked once in a while, have kids, raise the kids, make small talk with your neighbours, etc. While there is nothing wrong with being like that (many people are), the problem is, there can never be enough critical mass to actually start doing something about the oligarh politicians and try and overthrow them. Plus an oposition is not really an oposition if you're basically the same as the other guy, just with a somewhat different mind set (I say it's dark gray, you say it's blackish). So, it's a perpetual problem that has no solution.

    Basically, most of the other problems just boil down to bad leadership and 30+ years of it. Not everyone on the Balkans has those problems. Take Slovenia for example, it's doing great πŸ‘. But, while the rest of us down south were under the Ottoman empire for 5 centuries, Slovenia was under Austro-Hungary. It's just not the same... we were blinded during the renesans, Slovenia had front row seats. I'm not saying nothing is our own fault, it most definitely is, but I'm just trying to give a little perspective of why things turned out so different for Slovenia and (mostly) Croatia.

  • I don't live in the US, but from what I've seen, instead of everyone just taking a step back and not getting offended over stupid things, people do the exact opposite. I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. Maybe I live in a place where people have thicker skin, IDK, but to get downvoted over semantics when the post is not even about that, I mean... really 🀨?

    It doesn't matter, I know, no one cares about up/down votes, but just the sheer ammount of it was "wow, really?".

  • I understand the logic, but this really seems like a complete waste of time. I'd rather spend that time coding something really useful than coding that.

  • Depends for who... I also enjoy welding and woodworking. It's not always about the end product, it's about the journey.

    And 12 times is not that much. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna make another one next year.

  • Yeah, but not this small, the 12cm ones, sure.

  • Yeah, I've seen the type... had a colleague in uni like that. And it's not like he's gonna need it for something else, but why spend an hour making them when he could spend 5 hours making the script to generate them in 1 second.

    If this is how true programmers think, I'm sorry, I'm not a true programmer then 🀷.

  • I could write another rant on the whole American β€˜I take offense with that’ mentality. It’s political correctness of the worst kind, and as far as I’m concerned. Jokes are often offensive. If you get offended, the problem is solidly at your end. Think about it for a while,...

    He has a point there though IMO, things are way out if control with political correctness.

    Have you noticed how almost every meme here on Lemmy goes in shitposts? My guess is, it's a safe bet, almost anything goes there, so I won't be downvoted to oblivion just because I wrote female instead of woman. Hell, I know I do it for that very reason.

  • He's overdriving it though, you don't use a lab supply to power a fan unless you're planning on pushing it above 12V.

  • Damn, you know, that's a pretty good idea, a callendar with Linus quotes πŸ˜‚.

  • Like I really don't know anything about kernel coding.

  • At least someone cares for me enough to yell at me, right... RIGHT!?

  • Not mine stole it.

    I've made like... probably 50 or 60 memes, but they're not that good.

  • No it's not. You try wating for an hour with your dick in your hand edging while waiting to see some serious... ahem... debates over global warming.

  • Yeah, I don't think that little dude is gonna survive a night with Demarco πŸ˜‚.

  • I am a Domme myself and a lot of that is liking the control in the bedroom.

    Yes, I do like control in the bedroom as well. I think I would be a domm if I was in D/S relationship, but it's too late for that now. I got a family, a kid, my wife is (mostly) mainstream regarding sex (toys, spanking, anal - very rarely though, but that's about it).

    But I do wonder from time to time what my life would have been like if I accepted a few indecent proposals I've had over the years... broke up with my wife (we were still dating back then) and just went allong with that. I like having a family, no question there, but I would most definitely change my sex partner. One, not enough of it (sex), two, doesn't really fulfill my desires, three, I have to masturbate a lot because I don't get what I want in the bedroom.

    But, things are what they are. I can only fanstaize now and speak about it with complete strangers, since this is not something that society thinks it's normal (at least not where I live).

    I would never dream of talking to someone like that as a first interaction, but I have said much worse without blinking an eye under the right circumstances.

    Of course, goes without saying. I am a very gentle lover of I'm with someone I don't know, but once you figure out what that person likes or dislikes, yeah, things can get very heated with me as well.

    But, yeah, to be honest, if the other person wants to just "make love" (like spread your legs, hump for 10 minutes and get it over with, or if she wants it gentle all the time) yeah, that is a downer for me).

    Just normal people that like to get freaky.

    Maybe I'm one of those, lol πŸ˜‚. Haven't really thought about classifying what kind of a kinky person I am πŸ˜‚. I have a few, some are related to BDSM, some no.

  • Yeah, I kinda pitty the US for that.

    But, to be honest, one of the reasons why you guys were so good at progressive ideas was just that, no baggage, no history, it's up to you to make your own... and you did manage to make great history to be honest, I mean, every modern music style decendes from jazz/blues. Not to mention the 60's and rock, metal afterwards, I mean... the list is pretty extensive. And so many great movies have been produced in the US, one of my favorites to be honest. Nowadays, you're not so much a force for progress, but last century was all yours regarding technology and art, no doubt there πŸ‘.

    Anyway, no, I live in a small country in the Balkans. You should probably visit the AMA I made today that was inspired by these questions πŸ˜‚.

  • Yep, same reason. You always make like A LOT extra... in case he/she wants some more... in reality, you become a cold meal expert when you're a parrent.
