Degaussers use varying magnetic fields in a specific way, it’s not raw field strength doing the erasing.

We have to go deeper!

I love how often seemingly simple questions just get fuzzier the closer you look at them.

It reminds me of the surprisingly deep rabbit hole regarding the first video game. People often say it’s Tennis for Two, but there’s not really a clear single answer!

You really can’t see the forest for the trees. Reflect.

It’s only about you because you made it about you.

“Ghoul” is not a slur. You saying that seeing an unpleasant word next to a word that reminds you of anime is at all equivalent to a slur is frankly ghastly of you.

You’d almost have a leg to stand on if they changed it to “Captain Weeaboo” or something, but even then the comparison is a stretch. You’re showing up at somebody’s funeral to say “I scraped my knee, that’s bad too! We’re all equal as humans, so I deserve to speak”.

Grow up.

You’re drunk for thinking this is about you.

Go home, you’re drunk.

Fair point, but I can’t blame them for playing it safe here.

Sure, because the persecution of black people in the US is at all equivalent to the bullying of anime nerds, right.

The problem is not that thin-skinned people could do mental gymnastics to find reasons to be upset, it’s that ‘coon’ is straight up a racial slur that was historically a major tool of oppression.

Still extremely customizable, and peerless rolling release features.

You can mix and match stable and bleeding edge packages very easily and switch at any time.

When packages make breaking changes, Gentoo will warn you and guide you through the migration before you update and only if you have the affected package installed.

Not so! General binary support was added quite recently.

Sex is a hell of a drug when it comes to diversity.

Easymotion is the only plugin I need to be happy.

Jimmy may be a dick, but it’s nonsense to say he’s factually wrong. Impure sodium chloride is still sodium chloride.

Keep deepthroating that boot.

How does that make the great firewall a good thing?

I like that more behaves like cat when there’s less than a page of output rather than requiring you to press q to get back to the prompt even when it would just fit.

There’s probably a way to make less do that too, but more already does it without configuration. Overall I use less most of the time but I like having the option.

“the ability to control information flow”

Yay! What a feature! Tell me what I’m allowed to know, O lord.

Contributing to open source is a big one. Purely personal projects are good, but I’ve found way more people are interested in open source work because it’s ‘more real’ and it shows you can work as part of an organization.
