Poor Linus :c

We should make a donation campaign, pretty sure somebody has a spare SATA drive around. This minix clone sounds good

A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

30p87 ,

I love it™ (The nested parentheses are one of the greatest tools known to mankind (And to all other creatures))

Quetzalcutlass ,

To paraphrase an old tweet: “parentheses - for when every thought comes with bonus sub-thoughts”.

Homescool ,

I always tell myself I am reading minds when I read inside parentheses

I have been stopping myself from using those and instead restructure my sentence. But if people like it, guess I can start keeping it.

I do find it more useful, however, to have a kind of a reference to the thing written at the end instead [1], but markdown doesn’t seem to have anything for that, and using the syntax for Markdown references, is only useful for hyperlinks, or if the reader is willing to read the hover text [2](nolink "Like This. But even though I write "nolink", that is still some text that gets converted to a link, making it upto the reader to read the address bar and realise the problem").

[1]: Like This. I would love it if the markdown viewer would link the above [1] to this line. Maybe with a scrolldown effect.

MBM ,

Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[they work like this: ^[text here]]

pelya ,

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

And automatically numbered too! Nice.

Though for me, instead of a scrolldown effect, it reloads the page on clicking the link. Trying a second time, it does the scrolldown properly. Weird
But that’s just an implementation detail and as long as this is standard, I’ll just start using it.

Thanks

roguetrick ,

Well ain’t that some shit. It would make my comments more readable to a degree^[not that I’d ever use it]. I also like how they have return links for when you have some monster text wall that nobody would ever read in the first place on this platform.

I’ve had a teacher in elementary school scream at me for doing so. (Nesting parentheses is forbidden. [You are supposed to use brackets.])

pelya ,

It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

sramder ,
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

I had a teacher that screamed at me for “taking the lords name in vain…” They’re definitely wrong from time-to-time ;-)

ochi_chernye ,

I had a science teacher that told us, “If you sneeze three times and nobody blesses you, the devil takes your soul!”

It’s science.

Pretty sure I read that paper a few years back ;-)

Matriks404 ,

I once did double “parentheses” in speech when started doing streaming year ago, lol.

abfarid ,
@abfarid@startrek.website avatar

Some of those parens could’ve been replaced with commas and retain their meaning (that’s what I do to avoid nesting, so that it doesn’t get confusing).

Tlaloc_Temporal ,
@Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

Wait until you need nested commas, those lists won’t delineate themselves!

EarthShipTechIntern ,

You have command of English grammar, clearly.

How’s your Finnish?

abfarid ,
@abfarid@startrek.website avatar

Not as good as my other primary languages, I have to admit. Finnish has too many consonants for my taste.

“Just a hobby, won’t be big” - he really didn’t think it will be one of the most sought after projects.

Or wanted to appear non-threatening

neidu2 ,

I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(

finley ,

it seems so innocent, lol

    Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.

    Black616Angel ,

    Which is kinda sad in its own way.

    Think Different™ (But in the exact same way)

    MrSpArkle ,

    Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

    sunbeam60 ,

    Azure don’t give a shit what it runs. Windows is on its own these days; if they succeed, good for them, but honestly I think the days of Microsoft just pretending to give a shit about Linux are long gone; it’s an important OS to them too.

    I’ve worked for Microsoft for 12 years, still have lots of friends there so I get some of the vibe from that.

    Friends don’t let friends use windows man. :p

    That’s what he said

    Putting Red hat in the same group as Google and Microsoft is wild.

    bizarroland ,

    That's because Red hat recently started doing some Microsoft and Google like shit.

    Ashiette ,

    It’s not that far fetched, Google used to have somehow the same philosophy as current IBM-RedHat.

    themoonisacheese ,
    @themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

    While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

    LeFantome ,

    You people are hilarious. Red Hat provides more GPL code than any company I can think of. Half of what people call GNU has Red Hat as the largest contributor.

    Feels before reals.

    bizarroland ,

    If you don't like what they are doing with Linux, because it is free and open source, participate in people that are using it in ways that you do like that they do it, or do it yourself.

    There is nothing stopping you
