But then go and decide to use a square base... SMH.

The great pyramid appears to have an octagonal base.

discovery.com/…/Eight-Faces-Great-Pyramid-Giza

Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.

I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn’t uniform across the face of one side.

I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.

I’m amazed there hasn’t been some kind of laser scan to determine this

Egyptologists are conservative and won’t allow any measurements of practically anything anymore.

No looking at the sphinx shafts/cavities (there’s an entrance up top), no tomb inspections, no measuring a bunch of stuff.

They even paved over a bunch of shafts for “restoration”.

Every time you hear about a new radar scan or whatever, it took years to get through the bureaucracy.

The collected sourced pictures appear to be accurate at any rate.

I once saw him being an utter piece of shit. A Bethesda writer got harassed on Twitter for being a writer on Fallout 4. Long story short, some jackass manchild on Reddit shitposted something utterly wrong and it made sense to other menchildren and they attacked said guy which hurt him a lot. So this assmold guy made fun of him, calling him pathetic and acting like being hurt is something disgusting. And it dragged on forever.

He is a piece of shit. So are his viewers for still watching his stuff.

Don’t know if he is alt right tho. But it doesn’t matter. Shit nonetheless.

Usually you can just google people like that. See if there is some drama out there. Controversy about what they said or reaction videos calling someone out for spreading propaganda. If we're talking about some mainstream streamer (which is the case here) you should be able to find something if it's true.

I'm not sure if you'll find people here, watching him. At least I'm not into watching reaction videos with people just stating the obvious or watching other people play games. It's just uninspiring to me and doesn't seem quality content. But feel free to give some examples of what's bugging you (including context), and maybe someone will have a look at it and analyze it.

He’s just a genuine moron.

Gotta be honest, downloading security related software from a random drive is sending off sketchy vibes. Fundamentally, it’s no different than a random untrusted git repo. But, I really would suggest using some source control rather than trying to roll your own with diff archives.

Likewise, I would also suggest adding in some unit and functional tests. Not only would it help maintain software quality, but also build confidence in other folks using the software you are releasing.

S_S OP ,

I totally agree it is no different than a random untrusted git repo, so I believe no additional trust is gained if I uploaded it to any of them

I think version control this way is totally fine, every commit in the linux kernel is mailed as a text diff on the different mailing lists

As of trusting this or any security related software I believe you have to ultimately read and understand the software you are using, or someone you trust has to do it, I can’t do that, I can only answer questions as they arrive

I also agree unit tests are probably a good idea for those reasons as well, I don’t have any right now but I’m open to do them some time or receive patches with them

I like your feedback, thanks for it

ramielrowe ,

Git was literally written by Linus to manage the source of the kernel. Sure patches are proposed via mailing list, but the actual source is hosted and managed via git. It is literally the gold standard, and source control is a foundational piece of software development. Same with not just unit tests, but functional testing too. You absolutely should not be putting off testing.

S_S OP ,

I’ve done a lot of testing, not skipping that, writing automated tests are a whole different thing however, it is not as straight forward and is very often skipped for a large amount of projects to be honest

Git was made to handle the sheer amount of commits and people contributing to the linux kernel, the first versions of linux is just Linus uploading the code to a FTP, git is just a tool for Linus to patch his local git tree in a fast way with all the patches he gets from different channels and manage a large public repository

Unlike Linus I’m not planning to be of control of a public development process for my software, so a VCS doesn’t make much sense in my opinion

Before git it was far from standard to use a source control system on small projects that weren’t about to be a public development process anyway, while it is a gold standard for source control today, I don’t think one have to use source control on every software project, like it used to be

What distro?

On Fedora Atomic Desktops:

If you deleted /etc then you can copy it from /usr/etc

Your fstab, shadow, crypttab, gpasswd and quite some other files are gone though, which is problematic.

@Metype@lemmy.world avatar

Almost everything was web based. Being in computer science i did have to write code and compile executables that my TAs running Windows could run; so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. There was also Respondus Lockdown, but I could borrow a laptop from the library to use it.

His audience definitely leans that way. I don’t get the impression that he has any agenda or conviction, but he consistently reacts to content that enables the alt-right. He’s been quite candid about getting into the react meta just for the money. Even so, he does seem to have unwittingly become an alt-right entry point.

If you bother to write a response, then please at least write what genre of game it is.

absGeekNZ , to asklemmy in Who is the GOATest GOAT?
@absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz avatar

What a great question.

A few that come to mind. (In no particular order)

  • Socrates and Aristotle - literally changed the way humanity as a whole thinks, their influence echoes thorough time their ideas are talked about 2500 years later.
  • Marcus Aurelius - stoic philosopher and emperor, set the standard for what a great ruler could be modern politicians have nothing on him.
  • Albert Einstein - literally changed the way we look at the universe, overturned Newton and his theories have stood up to ever more precise tests.
  • Linus Torvolds - the impact of the Linux kernel on computing cannot be overstated, from the smallest single board computers to the biggest most powerful supercomputers, all run Linux. The internet wouldn’t be the same without it.
  • Johannes Guttenburg - inventer of the printing press, the wide dissemination of knowledge that directly stemmed from this invention changed the world.
  • Alexander Fleming - discovered penicillin, finally gave humanity an effective weapon against bacteria, penicillin and it’s derivatives have saved billions of lives.

To those saying sports personalities, I doubt people will be talking about their achievements in couple of hundred years.

Some dirty slop Twitch streamer living with cockroaches who somehow garners a relatively large YT following and pops up in every freaking search result.

Deestan , to nostupidquestions in Is Asmongold an alt-right "entrypoint" influencer?

Whatever political stance he may hold, or whether he is conscious about it, he is an entrypoint.

His content is uncritical dogpile reactions and no-fact-checks perpetuating drama. Combined with zero effort community weeding.

While theoretically neutral, such hate cesspools are the culture that fuels the alt-right.

Veggies are certainly not unheard of, but everyone is different. Your wife and friend may be serious, or not, but some people totally fuck vegetables.
